On October 27th, the Chinese computer Society (CCF) announced the results of the "CCF Science and Technology Achievement Award", the most authoritative science and technology award in China's computer science and technology field. A total of 41 projects won the CCF Science and Technology Achievement Award. "key Technologies and applications of Cloud Native Runtime system for Internet Services" jointly developed by Lenovo Group and Shanghai Jiaotong University won the first prize of CCF Science and Technology Achievement Award.

The CCF Science and Technology Achievement Award aims to encourage outstanding achievements that have important discoveries, inventions, original innovations in computer science, technology or engineering, and have some international influence in related fields. Lenovo has won the CCF Science and Technology Achievement Award many times for its outstanding technological innovation.

The award won by Lenovo in cooperation with Shanghai Jiaotong University represents that its outstanding contribution to cloud native technology has been greatly recognized by the industry. The container orchestration and other cloud native technologies involved in the project promote the development of key technologies of the cloud native runtime system in the Internet and enterprise IT services, and solve the problem of high resource overhead faced by large-scale cloud native business.

AI is introduced into container resource management to realize intelligent scheduling of micro services.

In recent years, with the continuous development and maturity of cloud computing technology, driven by development concepts such as container technology and micro-services, the demand for native cloud of enterprise Internet services is increasing, along with the rapid growth of enterprise container business scale. the industry pays more and more attention to the consumption of container resources.

In the process of cloud native architecture transformation, large-scale Internet services decouple functional components into micro-services, encapsulate them, and run user requests in a server-agnostic way. The manual configuration of OPS mode by large-scale personnel cannot configure resources flexibly and finely in actual complex scenarios, which can not maximize the flexibility of container technology. At the same time, with the scale of container business, frequent rolling upgrades will also generate a lot of temporary resource overhead. How to solve the problem of container scheduling and resource waste in large-scale container rolling upgrade more efficiently and intelligently has become a common business pain point faced by enterprises in the practice of cloud native technology.

Based on Lenovo's strong IT infrastructure and large-scale containerized application development experience, the Lenovo xCloud Lenovo hybrid cloud native team actively explores the fine-grained management and optimization of container resources, and has always had technical advantages in container management and micro-service scheduling. In the development of the project "key Technologies and applications of Cloud Native Runtime system", they worked closely with the team of Shanghai Jiaotong University to design and develop a set of container runtime intelligent scheduling system.

The system includes measurement, prediction and scheduling management modules. The measurement module is responsible for multi-dimensional index collection and aggregation processing, while the prediction module carries out cleaning screening and feature extraction of the data set output by the measurement module, and predicts the resource consumption of different time spans through the AI model that accurately predicts the actual consumption of container resources. According to the instructions of the prediction module, the scheduling management module realizes the hot update of container instance resource quota, which effectively reduces the resource overhead caused by frequent start and stop of container service in large-scale and complex business, and further reduces the resource occupation of container operation. The application of this technology improves the utilization rate of IT resources, brings significant IT cost savings for enterprises, and makes a certain contribution to the academic field of intelligent container scheduling technology.

Create a new win-win paradigm for scientific research between universities and enterprises

The "key Technologies and applications of Cloud Native Runtime system for Internet Services" is also a very representative project under the current industry-university-research policy. The award of the project not only reflects the excellent work of the team of Professor Chen Quan of Shanghai Jiaotong University and the original team of Lenovo, but also shows a successful example of school-enterprise cooperation, and promotes the cooperation between industry and academia. It has effectively promoted the development of cloud native technology. The story behind this is also a vivid example of technological innovation and industrial development that complement each other.

The transformation of scientific and technological achievements has always been an old problem faced by universities and enterprises. many researchers have been staying in "desks" and "laboratories". University researchers urgently need to "go out". Only by industrializing scientific and technological achievements can we achieve a win-win situation between enterprises and schools and promote high-quality economic development. Lenovo xCloud Lenovo hybrid cloud business team took the opportunity of strategic and scientific research cooperation between Lenovo Group and Shanghai Jiaotong University to share and communicate practical industrial problems with university scientific research teams many times, in which the intelligent scheduling problem of container operation aroused the high interest of Professor Chen Quan's team of Shanghai Jiaotong University. after many two-way technical understanding and discussion, the two sides agreed on the research direction.

At the same time, Lenovo xCloud Lenovo hybrid cloud and cloud native team started and completed some modules of container operation intelligent scheduling technology before working with the team of Shanghai Jiaotong University to collect and process a large number of business data in real scenes and output them to the university team for model training, optimization and other scientific research work, which laid a solid foundation for the follow-up technical research.

For the results produced in stages in the project, the Lenovo hybrid original team continues to verify, debug and optimize the research results in the actual scene, and implement the scientific research results into the actual production through close industry-university-research cooperation to achieve the transformation of scientific and technological achievements.

Lenovo xCloud Lenovo hybrid cloud business team focused on the actual technical problems of cloud native technology in the business, conducted in-depth industry-university-research cooperation with the team of Shanghai Jiaotong University in the new computing field, and enabled each other in terms of container runtime performance optimization and enterprise container choreography and scheduling system cost optimization. Relying on the accumulation of actual data and experience of Lenovo xCloud Lenovo hybrid cloud business, the team of Shanghai Jiaotong University can understand the technical problems that enterprises can only encounter in the actual business, and complete their own technical and academic research according to the actual business data, and finally jointly invent enterprise-level cloud native intelligent scheduling system and technology with Lenovo team, which is integrated on Lenovo xCloud Lenovo hybrid cloud native container cloud platform. Served a group of leading customers in the industry.
