Deputy director of Tencent cloud technology 、 Expert engineer Qin Guoan , I've shared with you 《 Tencent cloud TCS： Application oriented one stop shop PaaS platform 》 keynote speech .

Challenges facing the VPC

With the digital transformation of industrial Internet , Tencent's proprietary cloud has more opportunities to serve more industry customers , Help customers in different industries to create business value ; meanwhile , Customers also find many pain points in the process of using proprietary cloud products , Challenges the VPC ： How to unify on cloud and off cloud product capabilities 、 How to build a flexible and scalable unified architecture 、 How to build a unified operation and maintenance capability from the underlying infrastructure to the upper application 、 How to complete the management of the entire application life cycle .

▸ There are differences with the public cloud product capabilities ： First, the product capabilities of the public cloud are not completely consistent with the capabilities of the private cloud to output to customers , Such as ： VPC products need to be integrated , The public cloud does not consider this scenario ; Second, differentiated customized products cannot be upgraded and iterated , The scale of public cloud products needs to be considered 、 Performance and uniformity , Customer customization needs are often ignored , However, VPC products need to consider customization requirements for customers .

▸ The threshold is high ： From creation , To use , To operation and maintenance , Both require customers to have strong professional ability . If the customer has no strong professional ability , When there are various problems with the product , Customers can only turn to the VPC manufacturer . If services such as finance 、 Some customers with regulatory needs, such as the government , It is difficult for VPC manufacturers to reach customer infrastructure quickly , The whole problem has a long convergence time .

▸ Operation and maintenance difficulties ： First, how to operate and maintain proprietary cloud products . The second is how customers operate and maintain their own businesses on the VPC . Customers' understanding of the product architecture of the VPC 、 The upstream and downstream scheduling logic is completely unclear , Do not know the impact of the alarm on the product , The customer cannot be like the O & M itself IT The system operates and operates the private cloud . For customers , From the bottom to the top , Or check step by step from the top to the bottom , It is difficult to 、 It is also very slow to solve the problems encountered in daily operation and maintenance .

▸ Unreasonable structure ： All products of the public cloud are oriented to scale and performance . For example, the monitoring design supports tens of thousands of servers and virtual machines , When the size of the customer is small , Monitor whether the scale of the company can be reduced to adapt to the customer's scenarios , Customers are interested in the public cloud 、 VPC architecture requirements differ .

▸ Hardware dependence ： Some products may have to rely heavily on certain models , Yes, there are several physical disks in the system , Even for types SSD、NVME And so on . It is equivalent to the customer purchasing a cloud product software , You must purchase the specified hardware to use the product .

As you can see above , The threshold for the implementation of VPC in the customer scenario is very high , It is also a challenge for our proprietary cloud . Next, take advantage of Tencent's proprietary cloud TCS This product , Let's talk about some thoughts and explorations of Tencent's proprietary cloud team in dealing with these challenges .

Tencent proprietary cloud TCS

Tencent proprietary cloud TCS（Tencent Cloud-native Stack） It is based on the mature products of Tencent cloud 、 Based on cloud native technology 、 Application oriented enterprise agility PaaS platform .

In addressing these challenges , Tencent cloud TCS To do it ： Product capabilities consistent with the public cloud , It covers the whole life cycle management from R & D to operation and maintenance , Operation and maintenance capability from the perspective of infrastructure to application , The flexible and scalable architecture meets the requirements of performance and miniaturization , For heterogeneous hardware 、OS And mainstream IaaS Full compatibility .

First, the top Application orchestration and control layer , In the middle is PaaS service layer , The bottom is Cloud Resource Management , Include IaaS And the infrastructure layer . stay Automatic operation and maintenance in , Tencent cloud TCS Full link operation and maintenance capability , Such as ： Operational audit , Link tracking , Log analysis 、 A series of operation and maintenance capabilities such as monitoring alarms .

among ,PaaS Service is to meet the needs of customers 、 in 、 Small application scenarios , Tencent cloud TCS There are two solutions ： One is to build solutions based on Tencent cloud's mature product system , The other is the customer's response to SLA It's not that demanding , Open source based solutions . Whether the customer is more concerned about scale and performance , Or pay more attention to cost performance and miniaturization , Tencent cloud TCS Can provide corresponding solutions .

in addition , Tencent cloud has a product ：Coding, A product that provides continuous integration and continuous delivery , Help customers get through from R & D code , All the way to the whole process of online operation and maintenance . The whole process can be based on Tencent cloud TCS The platform integrates different products to realize .

Tencent cloud TCS Technical highlights

▸ The framework is unified , No chimney ： Today, many products are combined one by one , Log in to different product accounts 、 password , Including inconsistent login permissions . Tencent cloud TCS We should build a platform product , Realization One API、One SDK、One ID And unified authentication capability .

▸ compatible ： The last thing customers want is to be kidnapped by a manufacturer , I hope it can facilitate the integration of third-party products . Tencent cloud TCS One is to have a variety of IaaS Adaptability , Not only can we build on ourselves IaaS On top of the product , It can also work with open source openstack、VmWare、 Other cloud vendors IaaS The product is smooth and compatible ; Second, a variety of OS Adaptability , Tencent cloud TCS Compatible Tencent OS and CentOS Such as system ; Finally, the hardware adaptation capability , Adapted to sea light 、 Kun Peng 、 Feiteng, etc ARM and X86 Of CPU.

▸ Do operation and maintenance from an application-oriented perspective ： Take application as the first perspective , Support to view the entire link and components in one view , Not the application adaptation platform .

▸ Open the box ： The standard integrates all product capabilities of Tencent public cloud to Tencent cloud TCS platform , User experience 、 Functions and so on , It is completely consistent with the public cloud ; Help users focus on their own business logic development , There is no need to consider the adaptation and operation and maintenance of related middleware products ; Mainstream middleware products WYSIWYG , Open the box .

▸ Enhanced monitoring and logging capabilities ： The public cloud operation and maintenance team is close to the product , If the product fails , It can be handled in time . The VPC product R & D, operation and maintenance team is far away from customers , Therefore, VPC products need to build very good monitoring and logging capabilities , Help customers maintain Tencent's proprietary cloud products more easily . Monitoring ability to achieve ：1:10 Compression capacity , Flexible adaptation to different scales , Second level monitoring capability and full application link perspective ; The compression ratio of log capacity is ES Of 6 More than times , What you see is what you get , It can flexibly adapt to different scales, etc .

Stateful service management

Tencent cloud TCS The service directory is not used to manage all PaaS product , Why? ？ The service directory is controlled by the center 、 Connect all middleware product application instances ; And the interface is very limited , Addition, deletion, modification and query and other operation and maintenance capabilities are not easy to expand .

therefore Tencent cloud TCS Implement the state service independently , And support multiple deployment modes . Not only does it support deployment in containers ; It also supports deployment on physical and virtual machines ; At the same time, it supports all of Tencent cloud PaaS Create and generate unified instances of the product . Tencent cloud TCS Stateful service management realizes the unified management from the upper layer to the lower layer , Calculate resources from application , To apply for middleware resources , Got through the whole link .

Tencent cloud TCS The overall architecture
