Shulou(Shulou.com)06/02 Report--

With the gradual deepening of informatization, the dependence of enterprise business operation activities on IT is getting higher and higher. The traditional local, extensive and fragmented IT operation and maintenance management mode has been unable to meet the actual needs of safe production. IT operation and maintenance must change to automation, comprehensiveness and flow mode, and the construction of enterprise container PaaS platform has become the strategic rigid requirement of enterprise IT architecture upgrade and digital transformation.

Compared with other industries, the financial industry has higher requirements for the reliability, stability and maturity of technology because of the network environment, complex system software, high degree of resource integration, high level of system data security, complex rights management and so on.

Outstanding brands in the field of asset management

The asset management organization of a large central enterprise is one of the first nine insurance asset management companies in China. At present, the company's assets under management have exceeded 500 billion yuan, and its investment performance continues to be in the forefront of the industry. It has gradually developed into a comprehensive asset management organization with the use of insurance funds as the main body, investment banks and third-party wealth management as the two wings. The company always adheres to the professional, value and sound investment concept, and provides all-round excellent asset management services for customers both inside and outside the group and around the world.

According to the company's digital development strategy, the company will resonate with the times in the future planning cycle, build its own digital ecology, and build an outstanding brand in the field of asset management in China and even the world.

Problems and challenges in the process of digitization

But the reality is that with the increasing number of IT products, the company still has a series of problems and challenges in the process of developing operation and project management.

The network environment and system software are more complex. At present, all the system coding work is dominated by manufacturers, the coding process is relatively rough, and the testing standardization and completeness are lack.

The code version management is scattered and chaotic, there is no version control, the integration of the project is difficult, and the communication cost is high.

Most of the system applications are deployed in the traditional mode, and the release process is tedious, difficult to operate, prone to operational errors and inefficient.

The flexibility of the system is insufficient, and there is basically no micro-service governance ability. at present, each platform developed has a high degree of system coupling.

There is no special image management, and it is deployed directly after the development is completed. There is an urgent need to build an application-oriented lifecycle automation management platform to achieve efficient management of applications.

The system has a high level of data security and complex rights management.

In order to solve the above problems, the asset management organization joined hands with cloud per hour, according to the overall needs of enterprise digital development, using Docker, kubernetes, ServiceMesh and other application resource management technologies to create an innovative, practical and sustainable automatic management platform.

Create a new enterprise container PaaS platform

Cloud per hour is one of the earliest container technology manufacturers in China and a benchmark enterprise in the field of container cloud computing. Its business covers container PaaS platform, DevOps, micro-service governance, AIOps and other fields. It has many large enterprises and top 500 customers in finance, energy, operators, manufacturing, radio and television, automotive and other fields.

In view of the problems faced by the asset management organization, hourly Cloud has created a new generation of container cloud PaaS platform for enterprises based on Docker and kubernetes technology. Through containers, micro services, CI/CD, DevOps processes, etc., the development, testing and operation and maintenance are closely linked, thus accelerating the iteration of business products and functions. Build once, run everywhere, and independently manage each link of application delivery.

The PaaS platform construction plan provided by Speed Cloud for the asset management organization includes the following points:

Unified development, operation and maintenance control. Using the advanced and mature DevOps products of Fast Cloud per hour, the workflow of testing operation and maintenance is replanned and designed, and the daily tedious and repetitive work is automatically completed by the platform, including source code management, automatic construction, automated testing, continuous integration, continuous deployment, etc., which significantly improve the iterative efficiency of application development.

Standardize the launch of the application system. After the development of the application system is completed, a rolling upgrade will be carried out in the quasi-production environment, and then it will be released to the production environment in grayscale after the final test is confirmed by the testers. In the production environment, the new and old versions of the system will be upgraded to the new version of the system after running online for a period of time to help customers quickly launch new products and expand their business in time, while reducing risks.

Efficient operation and maintenance support platform. After the deployment of the application system, not only the omni-directional monitoring of the application container and the monitoring status of the underlying computing nodes can be realized, but also more fine-grained monitoring of business traffic and HTTP protocols can be realized. in addition, the unified collection, centralized storage and fast retrieval of application logs greatly reduce the work pressure of operation and maintenance, and completely liberate the operation and maintenance personnel. The complexity and cost of daily operation and maintenance are reduced.

Enterprise App Store. Provide catalog function, by packaging the deployed applications on the shelf, build a private enterprise application store, achieve one-click deployment of applications, and improve work efficiency.

Intelligent service governance. Based on the core support capability of Kubernetes, it realizes a variety of governance methods for application services, such as grayscale release, rolling upgrade, elastic scaling, fault self-healing, service configuration, high service availability and so on, which can greatly reduce the IT cost of enterprises.

Comprehensive security protection. With the help of the fine authority management system of the platform, the appropriate roles are assigned to each user, department and project, and combined with the quota management of resources, so that each platform user can cooperate with each other and perform their own duties without losing control and offside; the network isolation function provided by the platform ensures that service access is manageable and controllable at the application service level. From the user level and application level, a two-pronged approach to build a solid firewall of enterprise network security.

Overall architecture diagram of the platform

The hourly cloud enterprise container PaaS platform features automatic scaling, high availability, load balancing, system monitoring, rapid development, and easy maintenance, which greatly reduces operation and maintenance costs, as well as high-definition permission management, covering project, user, role and other dimensions, ensuring system data security, and supporting online upgrades between new and old versions.

With advanced micro-service architecture, large-scale container cluster, complete DevOps tool chain, diversified platform services, and stable infrastructure, the excellent technical strength of the cloud per hour provides a strong technical guarantee for the asset management organization to build a new container cluster management platform. At present, Fast Cloud has successfully delivered container cloud PaaS platform and related products for State Grid, ENN Group, Daimler Mercedes-Benz, Huasu Media, Platinum Tao and many other well-known enterprises, and has rich practical experience.

Since then, hourly Cloud will continue to improve its products and services, create an enterprise-class container PaaS platform with high quality, high efficiency and high scalability for enterprises, help enterprises build a digital ecology and help enterprises with digital transformation.
