This month, the Didi crash incident has been making waves, with various absurd dispatches emerging one after another. The chaos was caused by a malfunctioning cloud at the underlying level. Embarrassingly, this is not the first cloud crash incident; it has been less than a month since the last Alibaba Cloud incident.
For a while, discussions about “cloud” have been rampant: some people envy Musk’s X for saving money by going off-cloud, thinking that since there are risks anyway, it’s better to do it themselves for better control and clarity; others believe that going to the cloud is the future trend, and to maximize the advantages of software, going to the cloud is more appropriate.
So, what do you think —
Is a public cloud crash an inevitable event or a coincidence?
How much reference value does X’s case have? Should you save money by going to the cloud or off-cloud?
Is it safer to build your own cloud, or is the public cloud more reliable?
For ordinary vendors, how should they choose?
This issue, OSCHINA [Open Source Talk] has specially invited 5 representative experts from the industry to discuss live whether we should go to the cloud or off-cloud next.
Live Theme: Going to the Cloud vs. Off-Cloud: Cost Reduction and Joy Increase? Cutting Leeks?
Live Time: December 20, 19:00 - 20:30
Live Platform: “OSC Open Source Community” Video Channel
Organizer: OSCHINA
Live Guests:
Host:
Li He, author of kinitiras and kluster-capacity, contributor to Kubernetes and Karmada communities, former Didi software development engineer. He has been engaged in container-related work since 2016, runs the public account “Cloud Native Scattered Cultivator,” and has a personal blog at https://www.likakuli.com. Currently, he works at Shopee Beijing, focusing on resource utilization optimization.
Proponents:
Zhou Xinyu, co-founder & CTO of AutoMQ, member of the Apache Software Foundation, co-founder & PMC member of Apache RocketMQ. He has nearly ten years of experience in cloud computing and has fully experienced the process of Alibaba Cloud middleware going to the cloud. He is an advocate of the cloud-native concept.
Jiang Ming, former Taobao DBA.
Opponents:
Feng Ruohang, CEO / founder of Panji Cloud Data, author of Pigsty, and open-source technical committee member of the PostgreSQL Chinese community. He runs the public account “Illegal Plus Feng” and is an advocate of off-cloud.
Ma Gong, an Infra engineer in Northern Europe, runs the public account “Swedish Ma Gong.” He believes that cloud computing is the new operating system, and its users are software developers. Simple migration to the cloud is meaningless. He thinks that there are too many makeshift teams among cloud computing vendors, and 80% of the second-party employees do not know how to use their own cloud.
With frequent public cloud crashes, should we still insist on going to the cloud or turn to off-cloud? What do you think? Scan the code to book the live broadcast and join the discussion~ You can also join our OSC technical exchange group to share your thoughts!
