Yunxiao was the first to pass the national standard certification of DevOps solutions with the best results

In September 2020, the China Academy of Information and Communications Technology organized the first batch of evaluations based on the R&D Operations (DevOps) solution standards. Alibaba Cloud Yunxiao passed the "advanced level" capability requirements in the evaluation of the four sub-domains of project management domain, application development domain, test domain, and operation and maintenance/operation domain; the comprehensive capability rating also obtained "advanced level", which is the first to obtain R&D An "advanced" system platform with comprehensive capabilities for operating solutions. "In this certification evaluation, Yunxiao participated in a total of 509 competencies (including mobile performance tests), and passed 502. The number of competencies that participated and passed is the largest, and it has reached the advanced level with a high pass rate of 98.6%. ”, Director Chen Yili of the Academy of Information and Communications Technology fully affirmed the leadership of cloud-effect products.

Cloud-effective public cloud, creating DevOps in the cloud-native era, benefiting tens of millions of small and medium-sized enterprises
Alibaba Cloud Yunxiao is an enterprise-level one-stop DevOps platform that provides R&D, O&M integrated solutions and products for different business scenarios of public cloud, proprietary cloud and hybrid cloud. In the forum, Chen Xin, senior technical expert of Alibaba Cloud, delivered a keynote speech entitled "Alibaba Cloud Cloud Effect Cloud Native DevOps Benefit Tens of Thousands of Small and Medium-sized Enterprises", sharing cloud effect's thinking and products on cloud native best practices. Chen Xin believes that the value of Yunxiao's products is to help enterprises realize the scale of new technologies. Through cloud-effective project management, code platform, pipeline, product warehouse, and Alibaba Cloud's cloud native product family, it helps enterprises to smoothly transition their technology stacks to cloud native. In the sharing, Chen Xin focused on the intelligent R&D assistant of Yunxiao. In the future, the intelligent R&D assistant will become the incarnation of the most advanced software engineering technology and capabilities of Yunxiao, helping enterprises to build an elite R&D team.

"A simpler, more inclusive, and better-used cloud is the goal of cloud efficiency products," said Chen Xin, "In order to enable all enterprises to deliver software at a high speed like Alibaba, continue business innovation, help It is the key that enterprises can use, use and enjoy."

Cloud Effect Proprietary Cloud Edition Empowers production and research organizations in the digitalization of government and enterprises
Zhang Yi, senior solution expert of Alibaba Cloud Intelligence, said in the opening speech of the forum that in terms of "using the cloud well", he hopes that Alibaba Cloud's cloud efficiency will become the leading standard in the DevOps industry, so that our users will have no difficulty in public cloud and hybrid cloud. Software development efficiency.

Zhang Yi believes that Cloud Effect Proprietary Cloud Edition will play an important role in the digital transformation of large customers such as government and enterprises by "empowering production and research organizations". In digital transformation, the product and technical teams of large customers such as government and enterprises have encountered great challenges. On the one hand, the infrastructure needs to be cloudized to reduce costs, and on the other hand, a business middle platform and a data middle platform need to be built to support the high-speed software iteration of the front-end business. Zhang Yi summarizes these challenges into three main problems: 1) Software is released on a fixed cycle of several weeks or months, and needs to evolve to a rapid iterative model of weekly and daily releases; 2) ISV (Independent Software Vendor) The main R&D model has brought huge challenges to R&D capabilities; 3) The quality, efficiency and business stability problems brought about by the middle and Taiwan strategy.

In the past few years, Yunxiao Proprietary Cloud Edition has mainly focused on the above three issues to help government and enterprise customers carry out digital transformation. For example, last year Yunxiao launched a R&D efficiency solution for ISVs. Through this solution, ISVs can quickly improve their R&D efficiency to meet the business development requirements of Party A.

Yunxiao officially released the application operation and maintenance solution integrating hybrid cloud supervision and control
Liu Fudi, senior technical expert of Alibaba Cloud Intelligence, is responsible for the construction of hybrid cloud application operation and maintenance solutions in Yunxiao. He first analyzed the technical dividends and operation and maintenance challenges brought by hybrid cloud in the forum, and then introduced the cloud in detail. Application operation and maintenance products and solutions effective in the hybrid cloud era. According to Liu Fudi, the operation and maintenance of cloud-effect hybrid cloud applications comes from Alibaba's best practices, "We not only support the DevOps work of a large number of subsidiaries in Alibaba's economy in a platform-based way, but also fully integrate monitoring and operation and maintenance. In this technical field, an application operation and maintenance solution integrating supervision and control has been formed.”

The cloud effect hybrid cloud application operation and maintenance product is mainly composed of two modules: application operation and maintenance and application monitoring. Among them, "application operation and maintenance" can shield customers from the underlying differences of hybrid cloud and provide customers with one-stop and efficient application stability guarantee capabilities; on the other hand, with the expansion of enterprise IT scale, it can provide customers with one-stop hybrid cloud Cloud application resource management tools can provide a panoramic view of various resources on the hybrid cloud and greatly improve the efficiency of enterprise IT management. "Application monitoring" is the eye of the operation and maintenance system. When the application is running and when the application is changed, the application monitoring platform is deeply integrated with the application operation and maintenance system to escort the stable operation of the application.


At the solution level, cloud-effect hybrid cloud application operation and maintenance mainly provides the following three capabilities:
1) Product platform: shielding multi-cloud differences and providing you with out-of-the-box application operation and maintenance products;
2) Product integration: All components of cloud application operation and maintenance are open to customers and partners for secondary development and integration capabilities;
3) Consulting training: Combined with cloud-effect DevOps solutions, we provide corresponding consulting and training services for technical personnel.

Zhang Yi, head of cloud efficiency commercialization, said that as more and more domestic enterprises and governments enter the deep-water area of ​​digital transformation, as software products and services that support digital transformation, they are faced with higher iterations by business and the market. speed and quality requirements. How to ensure the quality and efficiency of the entire software life cycle (requirements-development-testing-operation and maintenance-operation), and how to guide the software producers-software production and research team to improve the organizational efficiency, have become the urgent demands of enterprises and governments. The DevOps solutions and products as the software production line are the foundation of the above demands. It is in this environment that the national standard for R&D operations (DevOps) solutions came into being. Passing the "advanced-level" solution standard in the whole field of the Institute of Information and Communications Technology is a high affirmation of Yunxiao's persistence in the field of DevOps in the past few years. Yunxiao will continue to work hard to provide enterprises and governments with better infrastructure and solutions for software R&D, delivery, operation and maintenance. Better improve the software iteration speed and quality, and pave the way for the improvement of the organizational efficiency of the production and research team in the process of digital transformation.
