Stability leader! Alibaba Cloud has obtained a number of highest-level certifications for system stability from the Academy of Information and Communications Technology

On April 26, the first cloud system stability conference hosted by the China Academy of Information and Communications Technology (hereinafter referred to as "China Academy of Information and Communications Technology") was held in Beijing. At the meeting, the China Academy of Information and Communications Technology announced the latest evaluation results in the field of system stability, the results of the selection of outstanding cases of chaos engineering pioneer practitioners, and announced the first batch of "Stability Guardian" members. Alibaba Cloud has won a number of advanced cloud-native products. Certification, and lead the stability guardian team, and will continue to promote the rapid development of the domestic system stability field in the future.

Alibaba Cloud's cloud-native products have obtained three advanced certifications in the field of system stability

At the meeting, the latest evaluation results in the field of system stability were officially announced. Alibaba Cloud's application multi-active platform AHAS-MSHA obtained the advanced application multi-active platform certification (the first in the industry), and Alibaba Cloud's application real-time monitoring service ARMS obtained the advanced observability platform. Level certification, Alibaba Cloud PTS full-link stress testing has obtained the advanced certification of the full-link stress testing platform.

Multi-active disaster recovery MSHA is a commercialized multi-active disaster recovery product evolved in Alibaba's e-commerce business environment. In 2019, with Alibaba's system fully integrated into the cloud, Alibaba Cloud's cloud-native product AHAS-MSHA, which carries the remote multi-active architecture, was officially commercialized, and the concept of "multi-active applications" was first proposed in the industry. In the past three years, MSHA has continued to serve Alibaba and cloud customers, and has helped more than ten large enterprises in different industries to successfully build an application multi-active architecture. In January of this year, Alibaba Cloud officially open-sourced the AHAS-MSHA code, named it AppActive, and released the "Application Multi-Active Technology White Paper" to further promote the development of "Application Multi-Active".

Application Real-Time Monitoring Service (ARMS), as an observable platform for business and cloud-native architecture, is based on full-stack operation and maintenance data and guided by business scenarios, helping enterprises build full-stack performance monitoring and end-to-end End-to-end full link trace diagnosis.

ARMS includes front-end monitoring, application monitoring, cloud dialing test, Prometheus monitoring, Grafana service and other sub-products, covering different observable environments and scenarios such as browsers, applets, apps, distributed applications, containers, etc. The fault location time and fault location accuracy are improved to ensure system and service stability, and to improve user experience and application operation efficiency. Improve monitoring efficiency and reduce operation and maintenance workload.

ARMS helps enterprises to realize the observable system All in one, connect customer experience and business applications to the infrastructure layer vertical and full links, realize the integration of vertical links and horizontal data, and achieve unified access, unified indicators, unified links, Unified metering, unified panel, and unified alarm make it more efficient and traceable for enterprises to build a cloud-native observable system.

Alibaba Cloud Performance Test PTS is a SaaS-based performance testing tool that supports Alibaba Group's 10,000 stress testing tasks including Double Eleven every year, and is an "early verifier" of Alibaba's Double Eleven technical architecture. PTS supports on-demand initiation of stress testing tasks, and can provide millions of concurrent and tens of millions of TPS traffic initiation capabilities. At the same time, it is also 100% compatible with JMeter, and provides functions such as scene orchestration, API debugging, traffic customization, traffic recording, etc., can quickly create business stress test scripts, cover various operator nodes through hundreds of cities across the country, and accurately simulate user access of different levels. The business system helps businesses quickly improve system performance and stability, and has been widely used in retail, finance, online education and other fields.

Alibaba Cloud leads the title of stability guardian in four fields

In order to ensure the smooth progress of the stability assurance work, the China Academy of Information and Communications Technology has rigorously selected a group of capable and high-level technical teams as "stability guardians" to jointly promote industrial innovation and development. In the four core areas of stability: chaos engineering, observability capability, full-link stress measurement capability, and application multi-activity capability, Alibaba Cloud leads the guardian team and continues to contribute to and promote the formulation of domestic stability assurance standards and comprehensive landing.

Excellent Cases of Chaos Engineering Pioneer Practitioners Released

​As an important technology to ensure the stability of distributed systems, chaos engineering has become a powerful force to promote the construction of enterprise IT resilience systems. In 2021, China Academy of Information and Communications Technology will carry out a series of work with chaos engineering as the starting point, and conduct research and selection of a number of excellent domestic chaos engineering practice cases with high maturity and demonstration and benchmarking role. At the meeting, the results of the first excellent case selection of "Pioneer Practitioners of Chaos Engineering" were officially announced, and Alibaba Cloud Container Service Chaos Practice was successfully selected.

Alibaba Cloud Container Service Chaos Practice is a set of chaos engineering practice cases applying cloud-native architecture. For 200+ core scenarios and their combinations of cloud-native architecture, more than 90 high-availability problems were effectively discovered through unattended drills and production raids , which improves the ability to respond to emergencies, promotes the evolution of automatic recovery capabilities and plan capabilities of each product, greatly improves the high availability of the overall public cloud products, and at the same time converts some scenarios into commercial products AHAS Chaos, so as to better serve cloud customers.

At the meeting, Li Guoqiang, head of Alibaba Cloud cloud native products, shared his experience in "Alibaba Cloud Service Stability Guarantee". Alibaba Cloud is the first pilot demonstration platform for cloud guarantees in China and the first cloud service provider to pass the national level 4 record-keeping assessment. , providing stable and reliable cloud computing services for more than half of China's listed companies and 80% of Chinese technology innovation enterprises.
