Under Ali cloud storage container and team cooperation, using the accelerator DADI support mirrored read on demand and P2P distribution to achieve 3.01 seconds to start 10,000 containers, the perfect container to prevent long wait several minutes cold start, and massively parallel distribution warehouse mirror scene network congestion.
The year is approaching, a variety of New Year's Day, spike merchandise, live countdown is about to pour. Common to these services are instant traffic surge, must immediately preparations for the large number of servers, and to undertake the expansion of container traffic in a very short time line, to avoid system crashes. In addition to the rapid expansion of the cluster nodes, but also put forward higher requirements for application deployment.
Start fast deployment is often considered one of the core strengths of the container: Time instances into local mirroring container is very short, the "hot start"; and in the case of a local non-mirroring "cold start", need to start download Mirror Mirror warehouse after the container and unzip to pull the affected network and disk performance is large, take a few minutes; mass quantities of cold start and may even lead Registry due to network congestion and unresponsive.
Pain points for cold start, Ali cloud launch a new storage engine DA
