Zhiyun Lite released

Tencent Zhiyun automatic operation and maintenance system has maintained nearly 10,000 business modules and more than 200,000 nodes after 10 years of technical accumulation. In view of the voices of friends in the industry, we abstracted the core functions of Zhiyun independently, condensed it into Zhiyun Lite, and released it at the GOPS2018 Global Operation and Maintenance Conference-Tencent Operation and Maintenance System on April 14.

Zhiyun Lite is a lightweight service management platform that focuses on Zhiyun core capability package management, provides standardized application packaging operations, can be connected to continuous integration systems, completes online program distribution, and easily realizes process management. Committed to providing unified specifications and constraints, and promoting the concept of 'standardization' through the operation and maintenance team, to achieve agile and reliable operation and maintenance goals.

Zhiyun Lite & Zhiyun

So what is the difference between the enterprise version of Zhiyun Lite and the community version of Zhiyun Lite?

package management

What exactly is package management that everyone has repeatedly mentioned?

Standardization is the cornerstone of improving O&M efficiency, "reducing O&M objects" is the goal and criterion for efficient O&M, and Zhiyun's "package" is the best practice to achieve efficient O&M methodology. So, what exactly is a package in package management?

A package is a collection of files needed to accomplish a specific function. The "specific function" here can refer to:

1. Configuration distribution: unified management of configuration files like nginx.conf

2. Service deployment: upload a file (such as sample.jar) and run it.

3. Process monitoring: When the business process exits unexpectedly, it will be pulled up in time.

4. Other operation and maintenance tasks that require centralized management.

Collect these one or more files for specific functions together, specify the installation directory, and give this collection a name, even if a package is defined.

Packaged earnings

Simple answer: reduce management objects and improve maintenance efficiency.

Multiple files are multiple managed objects, and one package is one managed object. If multiple files are grouped into a package, the management object becomes one. Reducing the operation and maintenance management objects is the eternal law of operation and maintenance optimization.
After the object becomes one, many attributes derived from the object can be managed uniformly. Such as author, version number, version description, permission settings, cleaning policy, etc.
The most important thing is that the deployment and operation changes to the existing network are very simple and one-click. Simple and efficient.
