The industry's first cloud-native technology mid-stage product, Cloud Native Stack, is here!

Today, the digital transformation of enterprises still faces great challenges. Although many new technologies continue to emerge and cloud vendors and ISVs are helping enterprises to transform, enterprises still need to solve some pain points in the actual landing process, such as: current industry technology There are so many products and concepts, how can new technologies be used to achieve rapid business innovation? The current path is not very clear.

Secondly, distributed technology has high complexity, high operation and maintenance costs, and business stability challenges. After the system is built, there are problems with poor stability, and various problems may occur in subsequent operations. There is also the lack of integration of the technology portfolio, the lack of unified planning and end-to-end consistent solutions.

It is precisely because of seeing the technical difficulties faced by enterprises in digital transformation, Alibaba Cloud released the industry's first cloud-native technology mid-stage product-Cloud Native Stack (CNStack for short).

Cloud-native Stack is a technology center in the cloud-native era, which can be lightweight and agile offline. The technology center is based on the ACK agile version. In the user's infrastructure environment, it can enjoy the same safe and stable container service as ACK in a light and agile manner, and it has inherent multi-cluster management capabilities.

At the same time, cloud native Stack is also a business application platform that can meet all the technical challenges encountered by offline customers in various industries in their digital transformation. Cloud-native Stack can not only output agilely, but also output on a large scale, and it can also output on heterogeneous IaaS.

Cloud Native Stack complements cloud native offline capabilities and provides four core product forms:

The first is the cloud native Stack for Application: it is a one-stop technology base for enterprise digitalization, which integrates ACK agile version, EDAS application platform, application high-availability service AHAS, and observable ARMS on one platform, with high integration Degree and consistent experience. Cloud native Stack for Application solves the integration of development, operation and maintenance, accelerates business iteration, built-in distributed middleware, one-stop to meet all the demands of cloud native applications in the industry, and provides a large number of solutions, including multiple activities in different places, enterprises Internet architecture plan, business middle-office plan, safe production plan, resource mixing plan, etc.

Take the Alibaba Cloud resource hybrid solution as an example. It can increase the daily average utilization of IT infrastructure resources from 10% of the industry average to 45%, helping companies reduce IT costs by 50%. Make enterprise digitization free from technical constraints, lighter and simpler.

The second form is cloud native Stack for SaaS: the core value brought by cloud native technology represented by containers is: downward management of resources, upward support of applications, and horizontal management of the software life cycle. In the past, in the stand-alone era, software installation and management were relatively easy. But in the era of cloud computing, in the context of distributed software, distributed environment, and distributed computing power, software wants to be deployed and released, and upgrades and maintenance will become very complicated. There was no solution to this problem in the industry before.

Today, Alibaba Cloud pioneered the creation of cloud native Stack for SaaS. It makes the delivery of SaaS software easier. It shields the differences of IaaS. Any environment can be deployed, any environment can be adapted, and every type of hardware and chip can be adapted. Cloud native Stack for SaaS can improve deployment efficiency by 5 times, cluster test efficiency by 5 times, and reduce the operation and maintenance workload of dependent components by 90%. There are already more than 50 enterprise software in the docking, use, and implementation of this product.

The third form is cloud native Stack for Edge: At present, edge scenarios are also very popular. Cloud native Stack is a full lifecycle management platform for edge scenarios and edge applications, which can realize automatic management of edge resources in 1 minute; with low latency , Secure communication capabilities, message arrival rate of 99.9%; rich components, built-in dozens of edge middleware.

The fourth form is the Cloud Native Stack Community Edition: The community version is a technology platform that helps enterprises and developers quickly try out Cloud Native Stack. It can be downloaded for free, deployed with one click, one-stop to meet R&D and testing capabilities, and can be seamlessly migrated to The commercial version is migrated to the production environment. This version will be available for download on the Alibaba Cloud official website in December.

Cloud-native Stack meets the demands of customers for offline highly integrated platforms in various typical scenarios, frees the digital transformation of enterprises from technical constraints, focuses on the business itself, and accelerates the digital iteration of enterprises.
