CSDN Report: Alibaba Cloud Container Service Becomes the First Choice for Chinese Developers

Recently, CSDN, a well-known domestic IT technology community, released the "2021-2022 Chinese Developer Survey Report", which aims to comprehensively and deeply understand the overall status of Chinese developer groups, application development technologies, and development tools and platforms. Status and development trends. The report surveyed nearly 10,000 developers. For the first time, "cloud native" appeared as an independent chapter in the annual report, and it has developed into a key area that reflects the development trend of China's development technology.

Enterprise cloud native investment has increased, and Alibaba Cloud container service has become the first choice for developers

The survey shows that cloud native has developed into an important engine driving business growth, and its importance to enterprises is increasing. Companies are also increasing their investment in cloud native construction. 18% of the companies spend on cloud native More than 30% of the company's IT investment.

As the cornerstone of the cloud-native ecosystem, Kubernetes is unsurprisingly the most popular container cluster management tool, with 48% of developers saying they are using Kubernetes for container management.

In terms of the use of container cloud platforms, most respondents choose to use container services provided by cloud vendors, and only 12% of developers say they use self-built container cloud platforms. Among the mainstream container cloud platforms in China, Alibaba Cloud Container Service has become the first choice for developers. The results show that 52% of developers are using Alibaba Cloud.

The landing process of cloud native large-scale applications is accelerating, and the value and challenges are obvious

With the evolution of cloud native technology and the rapid development of the market, the value of cloud native has gradually emerged, which has become the reason why developers prefer to use cloud native. 43% of developers say cloud native improves development productivity. In addition, improving the agility of the business is also an important reason to attract developers.

Compared with 2020-2021, the scale of enterprises' cloud-native applications has also increased significantly. Data comparison shows that the proportion of cluster deployment nodes with less than 50 nodes decreased from 59% to 33%, the proportion of nodes with 51-500 nodes increased from 29% to 47%, and the proportion of nodes with more than 1,000 nodes increased from 29% to 47%. ratio increased from 12% to 20%

At the same time as the development of large-scale applications, the implementation of cloud-native applications still brings great challenges to developers, especially the "non-functional" challenges occupy the mainstream, such as performance problems, failure problems, concurrency and throughput problems, etc.; In addition, some functional deficiencies such as local storage expansion and GPU monitoring persist. At the same time, the popularization of cloud native technology in China still has a long way to go, and there is still a shortage of relevant professionals. According to the report, only 7% of developers are proficient in applying cloud native, but about 60% of developers are actively learning cloud native technologies by themselves.

Alibaba Cloud Container Service: Efficient, Intelligent, Secure and Unbounded Cloud-Native Infrastructure

After more than 10 years of technical practice, Alibaba Cloud has the largest family of cloud-native products and an open-source ecosystem in China, providing more than 100 innovative products such as cloud-native bare metal servers, cloud-native databases, container services, and microservices. The only cloud service provider in China that has entered the Forrester public cloud container platform leader quadrant and has been selected in the Gartner container public cloud competition landscape for three consecutive years.

Alibaba Cloud Container Service ACK is the first service platform in the world to pass the Kubernetes consistency certification. It provides high-performance container application management services and supports the lifecycle management of enterprise-level Kubernetes containerized applications. It integrates virtualization, storage, network, and security capabilities on Alibaba Cloud. Based on standard Kubernetes, it provides a series of capabilities that enterprise-level users care about, such as security governance, end-to-end observability, and intelligent cost analysis. , cloud native AI, multi-cluster management in a multi-cloud hybrid cloud environment, etc., help enterprises run Kubernetes containerized applications in the cloud efficiently.

Since its official commercial release in May 2016, Alibaba Cloud Container Service has provided services for more than 20,000 enterprises on the cloud to realize modern application transformation and upgrades. Retail, finance, manufacturing, transportation and other industries. At the same time, Alibaba Cloud has also made important contributions to the global cloud-native open source community, and has built a complete cloud-native open source ecosystem. Now, there are 10 Sandbox/Incubation projects under the Cloud Native Foundation CNCF from Alibaba Cloud, helping Kubernetes to provide edge cloud services. , cloud native AI, hybrid cloud and other scenarios have been effectively extended.

In the future, Alibaba Cloud Container Service will work with practitioners and developers in the cloud native field to help more enterprises unleash the ultimate potential of cloud native technology.
