On December 15, the Global Distributed Cloud Conference with the theme of “Leading the distributed Cloud Revolution and helping the Bay Area digital Economy” was held in Shenzhen. The conference was co-hosted by Shenzhen Science and Technology Exchange Service Center, Shenzhen Communication Society, Global Distributed Cloud Alliance and Zhongvision Tech. In 2021, distributed cloud has become a hot spot in cloud computing. After a year of exploration and precipitation, distributed cloud began to move from theory to practice. Many cloud computing enterprises consolidated distributed infrastructure construction, optimized distributed resource scheduling and developed distributed applications, laying a solid foundation for the construction of distributed cloud.

Distributed cloud in the morning of December 15, leader in the BBS, ali cloud edge cloud product owner Mr SheJunQuan published “ali cloud edge cloud product innovation and the scene to explore the theme of the speech, to share the exploration and thinking in the field of ali cloud on the edge of the cloud, how to go from product development, technology innovation and application scenario power enterprise value.

Ali Cloud edge cloud product form and product matrix

2021 will be the fourth year of ali Cloud edge cloud commercialization. Ali Cloud Edge cloud is a distributed and miniaturized cloud computing platform close to the customer side based on the technical architecture of Feitian core. Feitian is a large-scale universal computing operating system independently developed by Aliyun that serves the world. It supports various forms, including central Region, local Region, edge cloud node and field computing node, so that customers can share all products on various forms of cloud.

Ali cloud edge cloud is adopting lightweight product technical architecture, provides the calculation/network/storage/security/middleware products ability, on the edge of the this year ali cloud cloud fully upgraded to two kinds of products form: public cloud product shape, one-stop global coverage, flexible delivery, high quality network distributed cloud network services; Hybrid cloud product form provides integrated output of edge cloud hardware and software products & capabilities. Flexible product delivery forms meet the needs of different scenarios and provide customers with rich edge cloud industry solutions to facilitate customers to flexibly carry out business innovation, market expansion and business exploration.

Typical application scenarios and business value of Aliyun Edge cloud

Calculation is the nature of the work force and the organic combination of the data in the cloud and the combination, center cloud with massive force and cloud native data, low cost terminals have private autonomy work force and local sensitive data, edge cloud that form the appearance of the product in order to better meet customer business requirements in a specific scenario, evolution at the edge of the birth and development cannot leave the customer scenarios and iteration, In the past 4 years, Ali Cloud has deposited a number of typical edge cloud usage scenarios:

Content distribution Evolution: CDN on ENS

CDN as the most mature cloud application scenario, the edge of the CDN on ENS integrated edge force resources, the total acceleration, download speed, broadcast live on demand and mobile application scenarios such as greatly improve resource utilization efficiency, through the cloud and collaborative technology to reduce bandwidth costs and resources for the center of pressure, enhance stability at the same time improve the user experience. Such as 618, Double 11, Double 12 and other e-commerce promotion and Spring Festival Gala red envelope activities and other large-scale scenes of training, fully verified aliyun edge cloud can ensure the isolation of different businesses, flexible deployment, to achieve the goal of optimization and efficiency.

Scenario innovation of government-enterprise digital transformation: Cloud-based set-top box

Cloud on the content, streaming transmission to realize the intelligent terminal intelligent, rich content, application and AI intelligent algorithm, to solve the terminal type of radio and television industries are facing more and standard is not unified, the application adapter, upgrade cost is high, the service at the same time, such as the limited ability to spot provides users with more application service, improve the user experience.

Aliyun Edge cloud provides edge cloud resources with low latency, low cost and wide coverage for Tmall Genie to achieve smooth video playback and interactive experience on terminals. At the same time, Aliyun Edge cloud uses the content cloud and streaming transmission technology to deploy content control and operation functions in the center, helping radio and television customers to quickly realize the intellectualization of large-scale stock terminals, significantly shortening the application on-line period, and truly reducing cost, improving efficiency and increasing income of business.

Scenario innovation of government-enterprise digital transformation: Cloud connection node

“Software + Hardware” overall delivery service – edge cloud connection node can help enterprise customers quickly build their local infrastructure, carry out business innovation, market expansion and business exploration based on edge cloud, and help customers’ business transformation. In view of the cost problem concerned by enterprise customers, the biggest characteristic of cloud link node is lightweight, starting from 4 servers on a single node, the product capacity is not compromised on the premise of lightweight; In the case that assets are owned by customers, Ali Cloud is responsible for the whole life cycle management from delivery to operation and maintenance to reduce customers’ costs.

The self-use edge cloud mode provides distributed and miniaturized edge and base for the self-owned business of big B customers in the industry. Meanwhile, it also supports the collaboration with edge cloud public cloud nodes to form edge hybrid cloud. The commercial cloud connection node is to help partners serve locally accessible end users and ultimately achieve the goal of increasing costs and improving efficiency.

Terminal cloud scene innovation: cloud games

For cloud game scenarios, Ali Cloud Edge cloud provides a three-dimensional product portfolio matrix composed of heterogeneous computing infrastructure, edge application hosting and cloud microterminal SDK. Customers can connect to edge cloud services of different levels as required according to the actual situation of cloud game business platform developed by themselves. The game application upload completes the deployment of global edge cloud nodes and processes data requests nearby according to user distribution. Game distribution reaches millisecond level command effect, realizing fast distribution to the edge. Cloud games compute, analyze and issue instructions at the edge, truly achieving rapid business response.

Continue to create customer value innovation and exploration will never stop

In addition to CDN on ENS, cloud set-top box, cloud games and other typical commercial scenes, AliYun Edge cloud is constantly exploring the application of innovative scenes. For example, in 2019, It conducted the MEC pilot of cloud on vehicle terminals with Shouqi Ride-hailing. In 2020, Alibaba Cloud and Youku have made trials of ultra HD fast start broadcasting, 5G all-direction free view live broadcasting, and manufacturing cloud. Alibaba Cloud continues to pay attention to the business progress in related fields and completes product transformation and commercialization at the appropriate time.

Data is everywhere, so computing power will be everywhere, edge cloud will definitely become the digital infrastructure of products in all industries. The process of exploring and landing the innovation scene is full of challenges. Ali Cloud Edge cloud will always adhere to the customer-oriented principle, continue to create value for customers, help customers succeed, and ultimately achieve win-win and multi-win with the industry and customers, and work with everyone to build a bigger and stronger edge cloud industry ecology.
