In recent years, "cloud native" has become a hot word in the IT industry, but what is "cloud native"? Many developers say "clouds and mists", not to mention how to use cloud native to better release cloud value.
From the term CloudNative, we can see that Cloud means that its application is located in the cloud, not a traditional data center; Native means that the application needs to be designed from the beginning of the cloud environment, and the native is designed for the cloud. As a result, the elasticity + distributed advantages of the cloud platform can be fully utilized.
Under the trend of the cloud era, more and more enterprises and developers have begun to evolve their businesses and technologies to cloud native.
Containers revolutionize cloud native
According to data, by 2021, 92% of companies will become cloud native companies . Why is the data so amazing?
Because the pace of enterprise cloud migration is accelerating, and enterprise product and business iterations are rapid, traditional development models cannot meet rapidly changing user needs in terms of iteration speed and operation and maintenance methods. Cloud native can give full play to the productivity of cloud computing, allowing application development, Delivery and operation and maintenance management can be organically combined with best practices to better release cloud value and help applications create value.
Among them, the container, as a representative technology of cloud native, promotes the standardization of cloud computing construction and becomes a standard for resource scheduling and orchestration, shielding the differences in the underlying infrastructure, and helping applications to be deployed on different cloud infrastructures. Technically, container technology has set off a cloud-native revolution, and the microservice model brought about by containerization provides new ideas for the development and deployment of basic applications. In terms of efficiency, companies can significantly reduce IT implementation and operation and maintenance costs, and improve business R&D efficiency.
According to the CNCF's cloud native development status report, there are now more than 4.7 million cloud native developers worldwide and more than 1.7 million developers using Kubernetes, and Kubernetes is the preferred management platform for large-scale container and microservice scenarios.
Although Kubernetes is a weapon for container orchestration, it is a common problem for developers and enterprises to migrate, deliver, and continuously release applications and software to the Kubernetes system when actually applying Kubernetes. Therefore, cloud vendors try to provide Kubernetes services in the form of cloud services. Help users use Kubernetes efficiently.
Kubernetes co-founder personally built, hard-core platform Azure K8S
IT giant Microsoft attaches great importance to the development of cloud computing. In 2010, Microsoft Azure was officially launched and has become one of the most important cloud platforms in the world. Strategically, Microsoft has always placed cloud computing in a key strategic position from "mobile first, cloud first" to today's "AI + cloud".
Microsoft even invited Brendan Burns, one of the co-founders of the Kubernetes project, to propose a container development strategy for Azure and help Microsoft build the Azure Kubernetes Serivce (Azure K8S) managed Kubernetes platform. Now Azure K8S has been commercialized in China and is committed to more Chinese developers provide good cloud container services to promote the development of cloud native applications.
Azure K8S can greatly simplify the deployment and operation of Kubernetes, allowing developers to scale application architectures reliably and flexibly, helping developers to easily deploy and manage Kubernetes, freely scale and run container applications, Kubernetes environment security control, and accelerate the development of containerized applications , Make full use of open source tools and APIs to easily realize continuous integration/continuous deployment (CI/CD).
At present, Azure K8S has been adopted by many large enterprises. According to Ke Qi, the female head of Microsoft's global AKS, many people think that they can run their applications on Kubernetes, but it is not that simple. Kubernetes is a huge system that relies on many external components, such as load balancing, storage, etc. If you use low storage, the program will encounter IO problems during a large number of reads and writes.
At the beginning of this year, a client company was not particularly familiar with the epidemic situation when operating containers, and was helpless when faced with the influx of large amounts of data. So Microsoft helped them migrate to Azure K8S, optimize program performance, and help them tide over the epidemic.
