Understand Alibaba cloud's secret weapon "dragon architecture" in the article "science popularization talent"

In a computer , We put CPU Compared with hard disk, it is a company's processing plant and warehouse , Then the task of the two departments is to process data and store data .

However, due to the large difference between land price and labor price and other factors , The two departments need to be built in different places , This is what happens on the cloud , That is, the processing plant （CPU） And the warehouse （ Storage ） Not in the same machine .

 

And many customers on the cloud , A factory or warehouse cannot meet all the needs , We must build more , Working together , But this way , Skilled workers in factories （CPU） Speed of work , It directly affects the working efficiency of the processing plant . besides , Communication and cooperation between factories will also affect efficiency , This involves the width of the highway , That is, the bandwidth of the network .

 

Alibaba cloud has not changed the equipment of technicians , There is no widening of the highway , But it has greatly improved the efficiency of the factory . So what has Alibaba cloud done ？

01“ Dragon structure ” help “ Alibaba cloud ECS factory ” Efficient work

original , On the cloud , Because we need to provide services to many enterprises , So we need to put the technicians （CPU） Divide into different groups , Rent to different customers , These groups are like small factories in factories , We call this process “ virtualization ”. In this way, the technicians who used to be only responsible for calculation , You have to be a manager .

therefore , There are many technologies transferred to management , But technical experts are technical experts after all , Strong skills , Management is not very good , Instead, it takes up a lot of technicians' time .

Alibaba cloud found this , A special management department has been set up —— Dragon , Management experts are invited , They are better at management and resource coordination , There are management experts who are specially responsible for coordinating the grouping of technicians , Coordination between processing plants and warehouses , So that technicians can concentrate on their work , And the salary of management experts is lower than that of technicians , Let the factory get greater profits .

DPCA has not only designed a more efficient information management mechanism Dragonfly Hypervisor, It means to let the dragon fly ; It also set aside a special office for management experts , So as not to disturb each other with technical students , The office base is also equipped with sensors 、 Automatic communication equipment and other IOT equipment .

Since the birth of DPCA , It has also undergone many upgrades and reforms .

DPCA found , In addition to coordinating the grouping of internal technicians , He is also very good at coordinating between factories 、 Communication and transportation between factory and warehouse , Therefore, a special post was set up in the Department to be responsible for these work , And designed a set of modern intelligent communication system 、 Cargo automatic transit system 、 Acceleration of cargo transportation, etc , It increases the throughput and speed of cargo transportation （ Storage and network IO And delay ）.

To make a long story short , DPCA, the black Technology Department , Undertake a lot CPU This technology Daniel is not good at management and external coordination , Let the technology giant play the greatest role , Many communication and transportation systems inside and outside the factory have also been upgraded .

With “ Alibaba cloud ECS” The division of labor in factories is becoming more refined and modernized , The efficiency is higher than that of other factories in the industry ： Process a product faster than others , The overall capacity of the factory has been improved , The shipment volume is larger , The customer orders in seconds .

Now? , DPCA computing platform has been upgraded to the fourth generation ！ Ali cloud, ECS Also equipped with advanced “ Dragon structure ”, Realize the multi-directional improvement of performance .
