From April slightly chilly Denver to Shanghai in November, also as warm as spring, although only a lapse of six months, but OpenStack has taken a landmark step --OpenInfra General Assembly for the first time landing in China, which is a lot of domestic OpenStack practitioners dream of one day. The OpenStack rapid development in China, no doubt for the industry's top open source technology summit can be so fast landing in China, played a decisive role - currently China is the world's second largest market using OpenStack software, and China has become the OpenStack Trian the world's second version of the code contribute to the country, after the United States.
Jonathan Bryce, executive director of OpenStack fund at the summit announced the 451 research institutes forecast in September monitoring report released by the market: the next four years OpenStack market share in the Asia-Pacific region will grow by 36%, while in 2023 the global commercial market share to reach $ 7.7 billion, of which the Asia-Pacific market accounted for about one-third. Therefore, Jonathan said, at this time, it held a summit in China is very much in line with the times of.
Jonathan Bryce said: "The Chinese market actively embrace open source infrastructure to deploy and scale rare in other regions to solve practical problems encountered in the production of Chinese users are combining OpenStack and Kubernetes to solve the problems encountered in the application of open source infrastructures. the big problem, more and more companies and by integrating Airship StarlingX and other projects, the use of infrastructure and opening up can be combined in the Chinese market to meet the needs of its operation and maintenance applications. there are so many large users attended this week Shanghai summit, which in the past, open source infrastructure summit never had, through their face-sharing, community members had a productive session. "
Nearly a decade of hard work OpenStack China has made great achievements
Since OpenStack was born in 2010, in addition to North America, China is one of the most fiery passion OpenStack country, which from recent years, platinum OpenStack Foundation, the proportion of Chinese enterprises in the gold members can glimpse of clues. On the summit, there are a Chinese company Zhuolangkunlun cloud has become a Gold member of OpenStack Foundation, which makes OpenStack Foundation of China Platinum, Gold members came to 13, basically accounted for half of this also from another side It reflects the Chinese market for OpenStack of "heat in hot pursuit."
In the Keynote summit, China Unicom, mobile, telecommunications three operators at the same time the "Platform" OpenStack peak, then fully explained, after nearly a decade of development, OpenStack has already taken root in China, has made great achievements.
In fact, in addition to China Mobile, China Unicom, China Telecom, the three operators, including Baidu, China Railway, China UnionPay, China Post Bank and China's State Grid and other companies are OpenStack users. In the latest version of the OpenStack Train, nearly 3,000 code changes from the upstream contributor to China, ranked second in the contribution of 165 countries, the individual contributors from China, a total of more than 150, also ranked number two.
Meanwhile, in addition to the OpenStack itself, a number of projects under the OpenStack Foundation, Chinese enterprises are also important contributors to either, or the application of practitioners of the project.
For example, the recent relatively hot top OpenStack project Kata Containers, upstream of its contributors including cloud Kyushu, China Mobile, easyJet clouds, flames Communications, Huawei, Tencent, with Fang Youyun and ZTE and other Chinese companies. And one of the world's largest Internet and artificial intelligence (AI) company Baidu, Kata Containers are early adopters. Baidu also recently released a white paper by highlighting its integration of OpenStack, Kubernetes and Kata Containers, detailing the application of AI Kata Containers on Baidu cloud platform.
Also coming to become a top-level project Zuul-- OpenStack drive continuous integration, application delivery and deployment of the system, the focus of the focus gateway routing and automated testing services - the main users from Chinese car company Geely subsidiary of Volvo Car Corporation , which they use to drive Zuul continuous integration (CI) system.
In computing the rising edge applied to the most demanding industrial networking, telecommunications, and other low-latency video transmission procedures used in Example Music item StarlingX application edge, which projects upstream contributors also include Kyushu cloud, China UnionPay and the flames of communications and other Chinese enterprises.
Joined forces committed to cultivating the Chinese market
However, OpenStack Foundation (OSF) for the Chinese market support and attention, not just the OpenInfra for the first time landing in China, in order to better serve the Chinese market, at the summit, OpenStack Foundation also announced heavy, with China Electronics technical Institute of standardization officially entered into a strategic cooperation, in order to constantly improve the OpenStack software technology in the emerging Chinese market, assessment and certification.
Based on this partnership, OSF and CESI will work together to develop standards of production OpenStack cases, test plans and cases in accordance with relevant standards, assessment and certification of interoperability, thereby promoting the orderly development of the open source ecosystem. CESI will develop and maintain interoperability assessment tools, and common focus of research (eg standardization), combining community of tool interoperability and China's production OpenStack environment, participating in OSF community contribution.
According to the development needs of both the organization and marketing of the industry in China, to develop two types of joint certification:
A type certification applies to the development stage, mainly certified for compliance features (such as an interface OpenStack cloud products and services). Type B certification applies to the delivery stage, mainly in the user interface to the consistency of environmental certification on OpenStack cloud products and services.
Such cooperation will undoubtedly further promote broader and deeper development of OpenStack in China.
And it is at the summit, came the news a Chinese company, Baidu smart gains OpenStack cloud superuser Awards, Monkey think, this may continue to be deeply rooted in China's OpenStack has a good chance of it!
