Huawei Cloud-Native helps enterprises pre-empt the rapid growth of an intelligent world

First introduced in 2013, the technologies have emerged as the most popular trend

The rapid development of technology is driving a digital revolution and industrial transformation. Leaders are actively promoting the digital transformation and intelligent upgrade of enterprises: let data become the core production factor for enterprise development and let cloud computing become an important platform to support enterprise development.

Cloud computing has catalyzed the deep integration of emerging technologies such as big data and AI and the real economy represented by manufacturing.

Rapid Development

In recent years, cloud computing technologies have become increasingly mature. Cloud-native technologies, first introduced in 2013, have emerged as the most popular trend. The rapid development of cloud-native technologies makes it easier for enterprises to benefit from the technical advantages of cloud computing. Cloud-native is the basis for the digital transformation of enterprises.

Research firm Forrester said in a recent report: “Within the next five years, cloud-native technologies will usher in a new era of distributed enterprise software that will be able to build and run an available container platform anywhere. Cloud-native technologies are available to both large and cloud-native enterprises, which will help the former compete with the latter.” In addition, the cloud-native technical architecture is relevant to all industries.

The Internet has always been an industry on the cutting-edge of innovation. This industry is constantly iterating on its own while trying to enhance other traditional industries. The Internet industry, an emerging industry, also needs to adapt to these new technologies. The Internet is the earliest practice of cloud computing and was born in the cloud. Generally, Internet enterprises are cloudnative enterprises. However, the application of cloud-native technologies can also help the Internet industry achieve a new phase of innovation and upgrade, from being born in the cloud to growing up in the cloud. Especially with the increasing user experience requirements and enterprise service application requirements, the value of the cloud platform for Internet services is no longer limited to resource supply and deployment. Instead, the cloud platform needs to be application-centered to implement comprehensive automation and efficient O&M of the cloud architecture. In this case, Internet enterprises need to upgrade to new cloud-native enterprises.

Leading the way

Huawei Cloud has been investing heavily and leading the way in developing and applying cloud-native technologies. Since the release of the cloudnative 2.0 architecture at the end of 2020, Huawei Cloud has continued to use cloud-native technologies to help enterprise customers implement digital transformation. For example, Huawei Cloud focuses on solving a series of application-level problems brought by the heavy and siloed architecture of traditional applications. Huawei strives to enable all types of enterprise services to achieve the goal of being born in the cloud and growing up in the cloud and brings enterprises’ digital construction and service intelligence to a new stage. This is the so-called cloud-native 2.0 era.

For enterprises, the significance of cloud native 2.0 can be summarized by four keywords: resource efficiency, application agility, service intelligence, and security and trust.

1. Resource efficiency: Supports multiple computing capabilities to meet personalized computing requirements in different application scenarios; builds an efficient and reliable distributed ubiquitous computing platform based on multi-cloud governance and edgecloud synergy and develop unified computing resources in various forms; builds an efficient resource scheduling and management platform centered on applications, providing enterprises with one-click deployment, intelligent application-aware scheduling, and comprehensive monitoring and O&M capabilities.

2. Application agility: The application development model is used to implement agile application development, improve the iteration speed of service applications, efficiently respond to user requirements, and ensure the security of the entire process. Service integration provides intrusive and non-intrusive modes to assist enterprise application architecture upgrade and implement organic collaboration between old and new applications.

3. Service intelligence: Helps enterprises manage data, quickly builds data operation capabilities, realizes data asset accumulation and value mining, and uses a series of AI technologies to enable enterprise applications, and combines data and AI capabilities to help enterprises achieve intelligent service upgrades.

4. Security and Trust: The cloud platform combines comprehensive enterprise-level security services and security compliance capabilities to ensure secure construction and secure service running of enterprise applications on the cloud.

In general, from a technical perspective, cloud-native technologies have developed rapidly and become an essential driving force for enabling business innovation. From a market perspective, cloudnative technologies are mainly used by Internet enterprises in the early stages. They are gradually extended to traditional industries. The service scenarios supported by cloud-native technologies are increasingly diversified.

With further development of distributed cloud and multicloud technologies in the future, cloud-native technologies can help enterprises maintain their industry competitiveness by using cloud computing and creating new values for society.
