Huawei Cloud CAE Brings Vitality to Türkiye's Digital Innovation
Dec 12, 2024
Recentl, Huawei Cloud Application Engine (CAE) is being launched in the TR-Istanbul region. It provides an efficient, reliable, and easy-to-use environment to develop and run applications. CAE is expected to help with local digitalization and innovation for Türkiye enterprises and partners.
When enterprises want to modernize their applications for the cloud native era, they face many challenges, such as:
· High thresholds for development/deployment: It takes a lot of skills to create Docker images. DevOps engineering capabilities also take time to cultivate. There are many components and the technologies are always changing.
· High O&M costs: Enterprises that deploy applications on virtual machines (VMs) or containers need to maintain their systems, runtime versions, and patches by themselves. As services grow, there is an increasing number of IT systems, but there is no dedicated personnel to maintain them.
· Low resource utilization: Resources cannot be flexibly scheduled during traffic peaks and troughs, so covering these peaks leaves resources idle during the troughs.
· Unstable applications: Enterprises face frequent service interruptions, but their systems are insufficiently observable, so it takes too much time to locate faults. Even so, they have high requirements on application availability.
CAE is an application-oriented serverless hosting service. It provides a fully hosted application running environment and supports automated deployment, auto scaling, and one-stop observability, without the need to maintain infrastructure. With CAE, developers can quickly build and run applications on the cloud.
CAE has the following advantages:
· Efficient development and maintenance: CAE provides a fully hosted application running environment. It enables automatic resource management and application deployment, and eliminates the need for infrastructure O&M. CAE also provides observability, and automatic metric/event reporting and log collection. It makes it easy for enterprises to search for events and logs on the UI, which means faster troubleshooting. In addition, the automation provided by CAE improves development and maintenance efficiency by 30%.
· Resource cost optimization: CAE provides multiple policies, such as auto scaling based on metrics, scheduled auto scaling, and automatically optimized allocation for different scenarios. These techniques reduce costs by improving resource utilization by 10% to 30%.
· Stable and reliable services: CAE has preset dual-AZ HA and supports blue-green releases for more stable applications. It also comes with Data Encryption Workshop (DEW) built in to host keys, which improves application security.
CAE has been widely used in multiple sectors:
· In the cloud native sector, enterprises need to migrate their services to the cloud but usually do not have dedicated personnel to maintain their services or infrastructure. To solve this problem, CAE provides a fully hosted environment, which eliminates the need for infrastructure O&M and provides integrated observability. It provides one-stop service hosting and improves development and maintenance efficiency by 30%.
· In the real estate sector, some enterprises who build and operate their own SaaS systems find it hard to manage and maintain them. For example, tenant provisioning may involve 10+ cloud services and 30+ APIs, metrics, alarms, and logs need to be looked for by component, and high availability (HA) deployment and maintenance are expensive. With CAE, tenant applications can be deployed and rolled out with just three APIs. O&M efficiency is improved by 50% through observability, and single-AZ deployments can be converted into dual-AZ deployments for HA with zero code changes required.
· In the government sector, vendors who manage and maintain applications on VMs often have to deal with low resource utilization and complex deployment and maintenance. By migrating applications to CAE, these vendors can easily manage and optimize their resources. As CAE offers one-stop application hosting, applications developed using standard frameworks can be containerized and made more observable. With CAE, government systems can be quickly upgraded and hosted on the cloud. In addition to improving resource utilization by 20%, CAE greatly reduces management workloads, shortens the time needed to deploy applications by 2/3, and enhances O&M efficiency by 30%.
· In the Internet sector, there are traffic peaks and troughs and workloads need to be started and stopped on demand. Enterprises often struggle to scale their resources properly, so resources get wasted. CAE provides many policies for automatic resource scheduling optimization, improving resource utilization by 10% to 30%.
CAE has been deployed in many places around the world. With the digital economy booming, Türkiye has been taking every possible measure to accelerate its digital transformation. CAE is a tool that provides simple, efficient, and reliable services and solutions for Türkiye enterprises, helping them quickly innovate on the cloud, explore more opportunities, and create more value.
Huawei plans to continue working on integrating AI and other technologies to enable a better experience for local enterprises in Türkiye.
