Alibaba Cloud Serverless Application Engine SAE2.0 is officially open for public testing! The fully upgraded SAE2.0 has three major advantages: minimalist experience, open standards, and extreme flexibility. Application cold start is fully improved, and applications can be created and released in seconds, reducing application costs by more than 40%.
In addition, Alibaba Cloud has also brought new upgrades to many products such as Container Service Serverless version, Function Compute, eighth-generation high-frequency computing instances, and office security platform SASE, further lowering the threshold for enterprises to migrate to and use the cloud, and making application development more convenient. Simple.
Ding Yu, head of Alibaba Cloud's cloud native application platform, said that cost is one of the core concerns for enterprises to migrate to the cloud. Alibaba Cloud will further release technological dividends, continue to promote serverless full-stack products, and use technology and innovation to benefit more small and medium-sized enterprises and developers. , reduce innovation costs.
Serverless App Engine (SAE for short) is an application hosting platform that applies zero-code modification, is extremely easy to use, and is adaptive and flexible.
On SAE, users no longer need to care about complex infrastructure. They only need to upload code packages or container images to complete full online business hosting. SAE will automatically run applications and scaling instances, and provide supporting capabilities such as network, load balancing, and monitoring.
This SAE2.0 upgrade brings three new capabilities:
- The product is easier to use, the application goes online with zero modification, and there is zero learning cost. Applications can be created and released in seconds. At the same time, you pay according to actual usage, and application costs are reduced by more than 40%;
- Secondly, the standard is more open. It is built based on container standards and the core capabilities are open source, providing rich platform engineering capabilities and helping to improve R&D and operation efficiency by 50%;
- Continuing to enhance its elasticity capabilities, SAE2.0 achieves hundreds of milliseconds elastic scaling, adaptively adjusts resource usage according to traffic, applies cold start to improve efficiency, supports shrinking to 0, and does not need to pay if there is no business traffic, which is very important for emerging Business and some innovative and entrepreneurial companies are more friendly.
At the same time, Alibaba Cloud has also brought a new container service Serverless version, which has made a lot of optimizations for K8s, improved elasticity, supports dynamic capacity planning, and fully manages K8s core system components.
At the same time, the intelligent elasticity prediction AHPA has been upgraded. Compared with manual configuration, the accuracy rate is increased by 80%; based on inventory-aware scheduling and availability zone fragmentation scheduling, it improves the certainty of elasticity and the high availability of applications, allowing thousands of enterprises and developers to Use the cloud more conveniently and flexibly.
In response to the currently very popular AIGC field, Alibaba Cloud has also upgraded Function Compute FC, which is highly integrated with the large model framework. Developers can easily deploy models from open source ecosystems and communities such as ModelScope and HuggingFace on Function Compute. Currently, Function Compute is the application center. More than 10 popular AI application templates have been added to it, such as Stable Diffusion, Tongyi Qianwen, and Tongyi Wanxiang, which greatly reduces the application development threshold for large models.
In addition to the new upgrade of Serverless products, Alibaba Cloud also brings a new eighth-generation high-frequency computing instance hfg8i.
Based on Alibaba Cloud's "Feitian+CIPU" computing architecture, it adopts China's first fourth-generation Xeon SPR processor, with a full-core turbo frequency of up to 3.9Ghz. The single-core performance is 60% higher than the previous generation, and it fully supports eRDMA capabilities. The network latency is as low as 8 microseconds, which brings an all-round improvement in computing power and helps enterprises easily cope with computing power-intensive scenarios such as multiplayer online games, industrial simulations, and live video broadcasts.
In addition, the office security platform SASE zero-trust VPN version is mainly aimed at the lightweight use of large enterprises and the use needs of small and medium-sized enterprises, meeting the four major scenarios of zero-trust remote office, office data protection, office network access, and global office networking. . Compared with the standard version, the Zero Trust VPN version mainly reduces the number of VPCs that can be connected, limits concurrent bandwidth, and reduces the price by 90%, which can meet the business travel and remote access needs of teams with less than 500 people.
At present, Alibaba Cloud has attracted more than 10 million developers, served 600 universities and 3 million innovative and entrepreneurial enterprises, and provided a wealth of atomic services through Serverless technology, with full hosting, operation and maintenance-free, high flexibility, and pay-as-you-go services. Advantages, greatly reducing the complexity of using the cloud.
Serverless makes the cloud the best platform for application construction, helping more companies to cross the technology gap, obtain technology dividends, and gain competitive advantages.
