Tencent Liu Ying: From container to low code, the evolution of Tencent Cloud native technology

At the Techo Day Technology Summit of the 2021 Tencent Digital Ecological Conference held on November 4, Liu Ying, the vice president of Tencent Cloud, officially released Tencent Cloud’s native operating system, Orca, and Tencent Cloud’s native distributed cloud matrix.

The emergence of new scenarios and technologies promote the continuous upgrade of IT infrastructure in terms of performance, scale, and functionality. When the business has a higher demand for software technology development, cloud-native technology emerges. As the first cloud vendor that decided to run all of its business on the cloud native technology of the public cloud, Tencent has greatly improved R&D efficiency and resource utilization by using internal cloud native cloud services.

Tencent Cloud Native Development Road: From "New Energy Vehicles" to "Fully Automated Driving"

"The development of Tencent Cloud Native can be divided into three stages. The process can be compared with the optimization process from new energy vehicles to assisted driving to fully automated driving." Liu Ying said that the 1.0 stage is the container stage represented by kubernetes. Higher resource utilization is more in line with the microservice development model. Through the comprehensive enhancement of TKE capabilities and stability, Tencent Cloud has realized the leap from moving the "elephant" to the cloud to letting the "elephant" dance on the cloud. Many leading companies in the industry, including Xiaohongshu, are all TKE Service object.

The 2.0 stage is represented by Serverless technology, and upgrades the pain points of traditional R&D models such as high IT costs, low efficiency, high labor costs, and cloud management costs to be optimized, which can reasonably optimize the team division of labor and help companies invest IT resources into their core competitiveness. superior. Relying on serverless technology, Chaoban Technology has supported more than 2 million transactions during Double Eleven with a cost increase of 10 yuan; a domestic leading brand in the washing industry also achieved a cost of less than 100 yuan in the promotion of CCTV Mid-Autumn Festival Gala. Resource costs, harvested more than 620,000 new registrations.

At the same time, Tencent Cloud is making every effort to build a cloud-integrated serverless development platform, cloud development, and continuously launching simpler development and safer enterprise back-end services, truly completing the industry's largest-scale serverless business practice. POP MART, WeChat red envelope cover, etc. have effectively ensured the business security of enterprises through the WeChat cloud development platform.

According to Gartner and Forrester research reports, the scale of the low-code market will grow at 49.5% in the next 5 years. Since entering the cloud native 3.0 stage, Tencent Cloud has used the low-code platform-Weida low-code as the C2B connector to link to the Tencent ecosystem, and Tencent Cloud provides technical infrastructure from the bottom layer to ensure resources and security, and connect WeChat and Enterprise Micro Ecosystem helps companies to do a good job in marketing and private domain traffic user precipitation, open up Tencent SaaS products, Tencent documents, Tencent conferences, WeChat payment, WeChat advertising, etc., to provide users with integrated ecological integration capabilities. Wechat also provides industry components and templates, industry marketing solutions, etc., and is committed to becoming a new platform for corporate digital marketing transformation, and in Henan flood rescue services, helping R&D personnel effectively increase development efficiency by more than 10 times.

Cloud native operating system Orca and cloud native distributed cloud matrix: Let the cloud be everywhere

With the arrival of the Industry 4.0 era, cloud native has ushered in two new trends. On the one hand, the development of edge computing and IoT technology promotes cloud-native technology to the edge; on the other hand, hybrid cloudscape promotes the evolution of cloud-native technology from "single cloud" to "multi-cloud". Private cloud, hybrid cloud, multi-cloud and other scenarios propose cloud native technology It has multiple requirements such as being able to shield different resources in different geographical locations and provide consistent access services through unified scheduling.

Based on 20 years of technology accumulation, Tencent Cloud has built a cloud-native operating system, Orca, which extends Tencent Cloud’s products and services to client rooms and edge devices, provides technologies and services through open source methods, and uses corporate WeChat and WeChat to connect companies and companies. End customers help enterprises obtain consistent cloud services and cloud capabilities across data centers, multi-clouds, and edges.

According to Liu Ying, Aochi has four major advantages: open source innovation, global governance, unlimited computing power, and reachability. It can deeply participate in the cloud native community, connect the ecology in the form of open source and open, and lead the direction of technological development; maintain product capabilities Consistency helps users grow their business; standardized cloud computing power is ubiquitous, can be calculated anytime and anywhere, and efficiently creates business value; helps everyone easily obtain convenient cloud services nearby.

At the meeting, Liu Ying also officially released Tencent Cloud's native distributed cloud matrix. Based on the cloud-native operating system, Tencent Cloud is oriented to government affairs, cultural tourism, education, finance, intelligence, smart retail, smart travel, games and other landing scenarios. It uses distributed networks to center, local, edge, equipment and other computer rooms/clouds. For ports, create edge nodes EZ, dedicated cluster CDC, exclusive availability zone CDZ, cloud trust CHC and other guarantee computing power everywhere; launch application governance clusternet, service network TCM, microservice engine TSF, container service TKE and other guarantee services are nowhere No; through R&D of three products, cloud development, cloud hosting, and mini-building, product access is guaranteed everywhere. The four-tier architecture forms a comprehensive Tencent Cloud native distributed cloud matrix.

It is worth mentioning that for enterprise cloud-native transformation, small and medium-sized enterprise technology management faces incomplete understanding of cloud-native value, insufficient technical capabilities for containerization transformation, insufficient technical personnel mastery, lack of best practices after transformation, and continued business growth. Tencent Cloud created Liaoyuanshe, launched a cloud-native high-end closed-door exchange meeting and cloud-native technology actual combat camp, to provide enterprises with one-to-one cloud-native expert services, help customers complete enterprise cloud-native transformation within 72 hours, and help enterprises Solve the problem of the last mile of cloud native transformation.

In the future, with the continuous optimization of cloud-native technology, Tencent Cloud will continue to improve its cloud-native innovation capabilities, continue to promote the in-depth application of cloud-native in multiple fields, and provide safer, more reliable and efficient solutions for all walks of life.
