Amazon Cloud Services (AWS), one of the world's most important Internet cloud service providers, suffered a long connection interruption on November 25. Among them, the services of many applications and sites are negatively affected.
According to a statement on the AWS Health Dashboard, full recovery may take several hours. During this period, many affiliated companies including Adobe Spark, Coinbase, Vonage, etc. have issued relevant announcements on their social media.
At the same time, on November 6, the State Administration for Market Regulation, the Central Cyberspace Administration of China, and the State Administration of Taxation invited 27 representative Internet platforms to hold an administrative guidance meeting on regulating online economic order; on the 10th of the same month, the State Administration for Market Regulation The "Guidelines on Anti-monopoly in the Field of Platform Economy (Draft for Comment)" were issued to the public.
Is the Internet really still the era of open information?
The Pain of Internet Monopoly: Big Data Killing
According to recent news reports, Ms. Han from Beijing accidentally used another account to check out while shopping on an e-commerce platform on October 16. At the checkout, she was surprised to find that there is a difference of 25 yuan between purchases of the same mobile phone and different accounts.
The same merchant, the same product, why is there a completely different price because of different accounts? According to the person concerned, his common shopping account has been used for 12 years and is a "premium member" of the platform, while the other account is a normal account.
There are many similar incidents. In essence, the second half of the mobile Internet, which represents the Web2.0 era, is a "horse race" market.
In 2012, Cheng Weihe leader Wang Gang set his sights on the car-hailing market. That blizzard during the year created opportunities for the budding Didi. After receiving the financing, Didi quickly defeated the traditional taxi company and started a fierce "subsidy war" with Uber. In that fierce "subsidy war", both passengers and drivers enjoyed rich dividends.
However, after unifying the market, Didi revealed its true colors. It no longer pursues "making travel more convenient", but constantly collects and utilizes users' data and attention, and packages them into an advertising system to sell to customers in order to earn huge profits. At present, a large number of passenger and driver data are tied to Didi, and it is not easy to give up directly.
Internet companies such as Didi and Ali, which are widely used in our "food, clothing, housing, and transportation" have formed the Matthew effect of "the stronger gets stronger". After decades of rapid development, new high-frequency application scenarios in the Internet industry are currently extremely lacking. The current Internet giants rely on their huge user data database to grasp the core voice. The emerging small and medium-sized Internet companies are unable to do so. Attached to the Internet giants.
IPFS VS HTTP: Who are the "trends" in the digital age?
The existing network protocol (HTTP protocol) has many problems, mainly as follows:
Due to the limited period of file retention, some important historical files are often deleted.
Server providers including Intel, Google, Tencent, and Alibaba have millions of servers, but their organization is inefficient and expensive, and once the servers are shut down, they will not be able to access and access content.
At the same time, the HTTP network is easily manipulated due to its centralization, and all information records and storage records can be viewed in the background.
Compared with HTTP, IPFS has many advantages.
First, in the IPFS network, data will be broken down into multiple fragments, and the same piece of data will be copied to nodes, which maximizes the decentralization of data storage, can effectively prevent data damage or loss, and ensure more stable and safe data storage.
Secondly, because files are transferred from the nearest storage node, the IPFS protocol greatly improves efficiency and effectively reduces bandwidth waste.
Finally, as a decentralized cloud storage, IPFS effectively avoids the loss of storage files due to certain changes by centralized service providers.
Crust: How Decentralized Storage Becomes the New Power of Web3.0
In the era of big data, due to the frequent problems of centralized cloud service platforms, distributed storage technology has become an important means to optimize data accidents on centralized platforms.
IPFS has played a new role in the Web3.0 era. On the one hand, IPFS has many advantages in downloading and uploading, which can reduce the cost of transportation and storage to the greatest extent; on the other hand, it greatly improves the security of data and ensures the permanent preservation and non-tampering of data.
IPFS is a very powerful decentralized file protocol (described above), but if there is only an IPFS network, there is no guarantee that user data will not be lost, because most nodes in the network are unconstrained and have no power To provide services.
In order to build a more user-friendly service-oriented network, we need an effective incentive layer. This is the Crust network. The Crust network is based on TEE (Trusted Execution Environment) technology and the Polkadot Ecological Substrate blockchain framework, and is compatible with file protocols such as IPFS and FastDFS.
Based on TEE technology, nodes in the Crust network can efficiently provide storage proof, that is, "who, what is stored"; then based on the Substrate framework development chain, it can fairly provide rewards for nodes that provide storage services, that is, "who has How much benefit".
After the decentralized solution of the problems of "who, what is saved" and "who, how much revenue". The Crust network provides effective incentives to nodes with high-quality services, ensuring the availability of user data and the stability of services.
