On January 15, 2021, the event "Revealing How Alibaba Cloud Cloud Efficiency Helps Enterprises Improve R&D Efficiency by 10 Times" was held in the cloud. He Mian, a senior technical expert of Alibaba Cloud, released the new paradigm of research and development in the cloud-native era-ALPD and "Alibaba Cloud Cloud Efficiency Helps Enterprises Improve 10 Times Efficiency Case Collection". Chen Xin (Shenxiu), a senior technical expert of Alibaba Cloud, explained the product features and cloud native solutions of the cloud-native DevOps platform, and officially released the five security features of cloud-efficiency: basic security, backup and recovery, security and encryption , Audit and insight, code security testing. Through the new R&D model and cloud-native DevOps platform, Cloud Efficiency hopes to help companies achieve a 10-fold increase in R&D efficiency.
Method: ALPD, a new R&D paradigm in the cloud-native era
At the beginning of the event, He Mian, a senior technical expert of Alibaba Cloud, first reviewed Alibaba's more than 20 years of technological development, and pointed out that in the era of "technology creates new business", technology has become the core driving business innovation. The level of R&D efficiency has become the key to business development, and every company hopes to improve R&D efficiency.
He Mian summarized the R&D efficiency challenges encountered by enterprises into three “not equals”, namely: partial efficiency does not equal efficient delivery; efficient delivery does not equal continuous efficiency; efficient delivery does not equal business success. He also pointed out that the goal of improving R&D efficiency is: to deliver effective value continuously, smoothly and with high quality, and further elaborated that it is 10 times the response speed, 10 times the process quality, and 10 times the effective value of the traditional development method. 
In response to the challenges faced by companies in R&D efficiency, the cloud efficiency team launched a new paradigm for R&D in the cloud-native era-ALPD, and proposed a "three-axes" to improve R&D efficiency:
First axe: full-link lean collaboration and lean demand analysis. The first solution is "partial efficiency does not equal efficient delivery". To this end, organizations need to introduce lean business and demand analysis to ensure the source and process quality, and to open up and manage the end-to-end value delivery process to ensure the smooth delivery process, so that "partial efficiency" can be transformed into "efficient" that users can perceive deliver".
Second axe: Zhongtai chemical technology and cloud native engineering practice. The practice of Zhongtai technology is to ensure the quality, reusability and maintainability of architecture, design, code, make code an asset rather than a liability, and continuously improve the efficiency of delivery; cloud native is a huge opportunity for performance improvement, cloud native engineering practice To allow the team to greatly focus and accelerate business delivery, the organization needs to: 1) establish an immutable infrastructure; 2) build continuous delivery and DevOps tool chains and engineering capabilities; 3) build and continuously improve a credible quality guard system.
The third axe: Lean Internet innovation method. Starting from the user’s goals and problems, open up and accelerate the cycle from business exploration to continuous delivery, and use this as the basis to implement Internet innovation practices such as lean business planning and lean data analysis to ensure effective value delivery and efficient exploration of feasible business Mode to achieve business success.
Tools: New DevOps Platform Cloud Effectiveness in the Cloud Native Era
With the guidance of methods to improve the efficiency of R&D, a good tool platform is also needed to help enterprises effectively land. Before formally explaining the cloud native DevOps platform, Alibaba Cloud's senior technical expert Chen Xin played a fun video "Ali Chef Tells You What Cloud Native DevOps is" at the event.
Chen Xin said: "DevOps is one of the most important components of the cloud native technology system. In the past, we often used open source software self-built tool systems to help companies land cloud native, but it inevitably requires manpower to develop, maintain, and customize.
These costs are neither economical for small and medium-sized companies, nor may they produce the best results. In order to better deliver the cloud-native technology dividend to developers smoothly, Alibaba Cloud has launched the cloud-effect cloud-native DevOps platform. "
As Alibaba Cloud's preferred DevOps platform, Yunxiao not only provides basic capabilities that can be covered by existing open source tools, but also has enterprise features such as free development, free operation and maintenance, free integration, free risk, and free learning. In order to help enterprises quickly implement cloud-native technology, Yunxiao also launched a cloud-native DevOps solution.
Enterprises using the cloud-based tool system are most worried about asset security issues. At the event site, Chen Xin officially released the five security features of cloud efficiency.
At the basic security level, Cloud Efficiency not only protects itself with Alibaba Cloud’s excellent security system under the escort of the Alibaba Cloud security team, but also launches solutions for private construction machines, private code warehouses, and private product warehouses in response to corporate privatization requirements. , Realize physical isolation of enterprise code.
In terms of backup and recovery, high-availability multi-copy storage, automatic backup, and independent backup strategies eliminate the hidden danger of code loss. The newly launched code recycle bin function also eliminates the potential risk of human damage to a certain extent.
In terms of security and encryption, companies can open security encryption strategies based on their own compliance requirements to further reduce the attack surface of hackers and ensure asset security.
Security and audit functions are more to prevent malicious behaviors of members in the enterprise, provide behavior warning and risk reporting capabilities for managers, and discover potential safety hazards in a timely manner.
In terms of code security, the cloud-effect code warehouse has built-in sensitive information scanning, defect scanning, vulnerability scanning and other capabilities directly out of the box. The user repair rate exceeds 60%, and a large number of companies benefit from it.
Through the above five security features, Cloud Efficiency realizes the capabilities of being unable to enter, not to be broken, not to be translated, not to be taken away, and not to be degraded, to protect the safety of corporate assets.
Practice: Alibaba Cloud Cloud Efficiency Helps Enterprises Improve 10 Times Efficiency Case Collection
With the help of the ALPD method and the cloud-effect cloud-native DevOps platform, many teams and companies inside and outside Alibaba have achieved substantial improvements in R&D efficiency. At the event site, Qin Wei, head of Alibaba Cloud R&D solutions team, and Zhang Hongxiao, senior technical expert of Alibaba's new retail technology business group, respectively shared the research and development efficiency improvement cases of Alibaba's digital supply chain mid-stage team and Kaola.com.
Among them, Kaola Haigou has saved tens of millions of costs through the implementation of cloud-native DevOps, and the middle station in the Alibaba supply chain has realized the lean collaboration of a large middle station team with a scale of 1,000 people.
In order to facilitate enterprises to understand and learn these best practices, He Mian also released the "Alibaba Cloud Cloud Efficiency Helps Enterprises 10 Times Efficiency Improvement Case Collection" at the end of his speech. The case set contains dozens of real cases of efficiency improvement, including: demand analysis and lean collaboration practices, middle-level technology and cloud native engineering practices, and Internet innovation practices. 
So far, Alibaba Cloud has served 100,000 companies and millions of developers, helping Guangdong Rural Credit Union, Nanjing Bank, China Everbright Bank, China Southern Airlines, SAIC GM and many other companies successfully complete DevOps transformation.
