At the cloud native session of the 2021 Tencent Digital Ecology Conference held on November 4th, Tencent Cloud, together with the China Academy of Information and Communications Technology, Yeebang, etc., took the lead in releasing the "Source of Cost Reduction - Cloud Native Cost Management White Paper" (referred to as the white paper) in China. , based on Tencent Cloud's largest Kubernetes practical experience in the industry, systematically presents cloud-native cost optimization methodology and best practice paths.
Zou Hui, general manager of Tencent Cloud Container Products, said: "Kubernetes is the core of the cloud-native technology stack. After years of technology accumulation and many Tencent's internal and external complex business tests, Tencent Cloud Native has entered a very mature stage. TKE currently has the largest scale in China. Kubernetes cluster and the best Kubernetes cost optimization practice in the industry; TKE currently runs 9 million+ Pods and manages tens of millions of CPU cores; at the same time, we have applied cost optimization technology in Tencent's internal core business on a large scale, and the CPU utilization rate The maximum increase is 3 times; outside of Tencent, 80% of Xiaohongshu’s business runs on TKE, and the cost is reduced by 40%.”
Dong Xiaocong, the head of the infrastructure of Jobbang, said that cloud-native technologies such as containers and kubernetes bring enterprises an opportunity to reshape their technologies. Together with Tencent Cloud, we will optimize performance, enhance scheduling, offline co-location, and serverless kubernetes. After a lot of exploration and practice, I finally achieved good results. The benefits of containerization are significant. Before and after containerization of the same business, the cost was reduced by 43%, the stability was improved to 99.995%, and the interface response was improved by 10%. It effectively supports the rapid iteration of the homework help business.
At present, more and more enterprises are beginning to embrace cloud computing, but with the deepening of cloud use, the problem of wasting cloud resources has become more and more obvious. The white paper points out that elasticity on demand is the advantage of cloud-native resource utilization, but unreasonable resource allocation policies may lead to waste of resources. In addition, if the measurement method of cloud-native resource utilization is not flexible enough, it will make it difficult for enterprises to accurately control the cost of cloud use. Therefore, after applying the cloud-native architecture, enterprises need to consider how to manage, optimize and use cloud-native services to further improve the digitalization of business. Transformation effect.
Based on rich experience in massive application services, Tencent Cloud Native has mature resource optimization methodologies both internally and externally. Internally, Tencent Cloud adopts the resource utilization maturity model to containerize the business through four stages, and finally achieve a utilization rate of 60-70%. Externally, Tencent Cloud has launched the container product "Cost Master" to assist enterprises in better cost management from the perspectives of cost insight, cost optimization, and cost operation.
According to reports, Cost Master has full-link cost optimization capabilities, can accurately and intelligently conduct cost insights, discover resource waste in one minute, and provide 8 flexible policy combinations to meet the elastic needs of any scenario, while the full-structure co-location is an industry leader The first cloud-based hybrid product that supports CPU/GPU, covering Tencent's tens of millions of core resources. The core capability qGPU is a GPU virtualization technology with strong isolation. This technology realizes strong isolation of GPU computing power, video memory and faults for the first time in the industry. It supports fine segmentation and sharing of computing power and multi-priority mixing. 230% increase.
"The Source of Cost Reduction - Cloud Native Cost Management White Paper" is a set of systematic cloud native cost optimization methodology and best practice paths proposed by Tencent based on the best practices of internal and external cloud native cost management and combined with industry excellent cases. It aims to help enterprises improve the cost of using cloud and give full play to the performance and value of cloud native.
In addition, in the white paper, Tencent Cloud also learned about the key issues in the actual cost management of enterprises through detailed interviews with dozens of customers, and sorted out the "cost insights" used by enterprises based on the current situation and challenges of resource utilization. , "cost optimization", "cost operation" three-stage cloud native cost management model.
Cost insight means that teams need to define consistent tags and namespaces to improve allocation. Visual analysis of resources and costs based on multiple dimensions (such as cloud products, environments, and business lines) can help teams effectively establish corresponding accountability mechanisms. And quickly formulate optimization plans and measures based on the real-time data obtained.
Cost optimization is the adjustment of cloud resource specifications and quantities, as well as business architecture optimization, and resource utilization improvement through elastic capabilities and resource co-location. The main solutions include: setting appropriate resource requests, solving the problem of resource fragmentation through dynamic scheduling, and improving the packing rate. On-demand use is achieved through elasticity and co-location; for fixed resource pools, online applications and offline applications with load peaks at different time periods are co-located to achieve time-sharing multiplexing; for GPU resources, resource pooling and shared.
Cost operation is to encourage enterprises to build a cost operation system from the aspects of organization, culture, process, etc., and continuously adjust and optimize according to the goals. Specific options include: building a cost optimization team, driving cost optimization awareness, data-driven cost optimization, examining costs in the process, and quantifying the business value delivered by cost optimization.
The white paper focuses on this model and provides best practices for cost management based on the actual implementation of the enterprise, helping enterprises to take into account cost optimization when migrating to the cloud and cloud-native transformation, and assisting digital transformation.
In addition, the white paper also includes more than 10 practical cases of cost reduction in Tencent's internal and external enterprises. It presents the cost challenges and cost reduction practices encountered by enterprises or businesses, including Homeworkbang, Yunji, QQ browser, and Tencent advertising, in an all-round way, providing a detailed reference for other enterprises to reduce the burden of operation and maintenance.
In addition to the "Cloud Native Cost Management White Paper", in response to the security problems of containers, Tencent Cloud Container Service TKE has also released the "Tencent Cloud Container Security White Paper" in conjunction with Tencent Security Cloud Ding Lab. The white paper conducts in-depth research and visits to Tencent Cloud container users, and at the same time combines the long-term container security operation practices to sort out and analyze the security threats and challenges faced by the container environment in detail, and introduces Tencent Cloud's cloud-native container security construction. We hope to jointly promote the development of cloud-native security in this way. This is also the first large-scale analysis and summary of the current situation of container environment security in China.
According to reports, Tencent Cloud has been committed to providing users with more comprehensive, stable and secure cloud-native services in the cloud-native field. At the beginning of the design and implementation of cloud-native products, the design and consideration of security are fully integrated, so that cloud-native systems naturally have security features, making security a basic capability like computing, storage, and networking, and helping users implement application systems. It is cloud-native and continuously guarantees its safe and stable operation.
