President of Huawei Clouds Protests Alibaba Cloud: Emphasizing Autonomous and Controllable Use of Open Source Code

Huawei Cloud President Zheng Yelai Weibo Sina Technology News June 29 evening news, Huawei Cloud President Zheng Yelai today in personal microblogging issued a document about the open source and autonomous control of the cloud computing industry issues. He said that the country's non-specific confidentiality The field should encourage openness rather than encourage the so-called 'autonomous controllable'. 'If you emphasize self-control, you should bravely declare that you do not support the OpenStack interface and do not use open source code.

Zheng Yelai's statement of this time is suspected to be propagating Alibaba Cloud. However, Huawei Cloud said that the comment is not specific to a specific company.

In April of this year, Li Jin, vice president of Alibaba Cloud, stated at the Yunqi conference: 'China has only two kinds of clouds, one is a cloud of adventurism, and the other is an autonomous and controllable flying cloud. Yuan Jin. “China’s current cloud computing presents two development paths: One is independent research and development from the underlying operating system, such as the flying of Ali Cloud; the other is based on third-party software such as OpenStack, such as Tencent Cloud and Huawei Cloud. However, the recent Sino-U.S. dispute has sounded the alarm to all companies. It is the independent control of the underlying technology that holds back the long-term development of the company.

Li Jin’s remarks triggered another Chinese cloud computing company Qingyun’s shelling. The company issued a document on the official WeChat public number, asking Alibaba Cloud to withdraw its “two cloud” remarks and apologize to cloud computing companies including Qingyun. .

Zheng Yelai also stated in the article that the so-called open source and autonomous and controllable issues is a problem of 'Chinese tunic suits'. He stated that starting from the application of continuity, the government and companies will use the hybrid cloud solution for quite a long time. The plan is private cloud + public cloud. Nearly half of the global F500 companies have established private clouds based on various OpenStack distributions. The remaining private cloud market is partitioned by VMware, MS, etc. Even so, almost all manufacturers even include Storage and networking products are released based on the Openstack plugin to support access.

'Huawei's public cloud and private cloud are all derived from the same management architecture. It means that we try to comply with OpenStack's native API interface! However, internal implementations are not all the same and will not be fully open source. We will only affect third-party applications. The interface part is open source. On the one hand, it protects the user's existing investment. On the other hand, it insists on an open architecture that prevents our users from being locked in.

In addition, Zheng Yelai also believes that national non-specific confidentiality areas should encourage openness rather than encourage so-called 'autonomy and control', and that only by daring to be open will it be strong, and only by free competition in the international market to gain a relative competitive advantage is worthy of respect. He also shelled and said, 'If it is so self-controllable, it should bravely declare that it does not support the OpenStack interface, do not use open source code, including changes in my sql, Yeah.'

In fact, as two important players in the cloud computing industry, Huawei Cloud and Alibaba Cloud have also been caught in the competition because of competition. At the end of 2017, the State Administration of Taxation openly tendered a public cloud service in the form of three years of public procurement. Huawei won the project for 10.5 million yuan, but Aliyun initiated a complaint, accusing Huawei software of allegedly providing false materials for the bid. The final announcement issued by the Ministry of Finance stated that the evidence was insufficient and the complaints lacked factual basis. Therefore, This complaint was rejected. The announcement also stated that 'part of the certification provided in the Huawei software bidding documents does not meet the requirements of the bidding documents. After deducting the corresponding scores, Huawei software still ranks first, and does not affect the winning bid results. ' (Zhang Jun)

The following is the full text of Zheng Yelai's article:

Internet companies are really good at shifting the focus of conflicts. We will not learn!

The so-called open-source and self-controllable issues do not want to respond to this 'Chinese tunic suit' problem, but considering that many people have been confused, share some of my views:

1. From the perspective of application continuity, governments and companies will use hybrid cloud solutions for quite a long time, namely private cloud + public cloud.

Nearly half of the world's F500 companies have established private clouds based on various OpenStack distributions. The remaining private cloud market is partitioned by VMware and MS. Even so, almost all manufacturers, even storage and networking products, are released based on the Openstack plug-in. Support access.

Huawei has a principle in the use of open source, 'from open source, stronger than open source, open source feedback', no one is directly using open source code for commercial deployment, and people who use open source know that 'only have to control each line of open source code Will be put into the commercial system, otherwise there is a problem who is going to locate ah?'.

According to the following logic, all linux systems including redhat (Red Hat) cannot be used.

2, Huawei's public cloud and private cloud are derived from the same management architecture, which means we try to follow OpenStack's native API interface! But the internal implementation is not the same, and will not be all open source, we will only affect third parties. The application interface part is open source, on the one hand to protect the user's existing investment, and on the other hand is to adhere to an open architecture to prevent our users from being locked in.

3, 'Zhongshan suits and suits', which one is comfortable to wear, I always believe that the country's non-specific secret areas should encourage openness rather than encourage the so-called 'autonomous controllable', only to dare to open will be strong, it can be strong Only in the international market, free competition to gain relative competitive advantage is worthy of respect!

4. If you emphasize 'autonomy and control', you should bravely declare that you don't support the OpenStack interface, do not use open source code, including changing my sql, oh
