Stable and reliable
Work together to build a stable system
It is the common responsibility of cloud manufacturers and users to build reliable systems on the cloud. Alibaba Cloud is responsible for providing the reliability of cloud platforms (including Alibaba Cloud global networks and data centers), and ensuring that the availability of cloud services provided meets or exceeds Alibaba Cloud service level agreements (SLAs). You need to select appropriate products and services according to business needs, and build a highly available architecture according to the guidance of Alibaba Cloud related documents to ensure the reliability of your applications on the cloud.

Cloud platform stability
Computational stability
As the core IaaS service that provides computing power, ECS carries millions of customers' IT systems. We know that customers' deployment of programs and data on ECS stems from their high trust in ECS. Therefore, ECS regards instance stability as the foundation of the product, invests huge resources in stability capacity building, and provides customers with a stable user experience.

Storage reliability
In today's digital era, data has become one of the most valuable resources. Any loss of data may cause incalculable losses to enterprises. Users use cloud platforms to store their own data, representing the highest trust. Therefore, we are in awe and do our best to ensure that customers' data is not lost, so that users have no worries.

Network stability
Stability is the basis for cloud network to provide products and services, and will also directly affect customers' business continuity, operational fluency and billing accuracy. In order to ensure the stability of the cloud network, we have developed a cloud network stability model from top to bottom, creating a three-dimensional stability system in three dimensions of platform construction, operation process and best practice, to help you build a stable and reliable network architecture based on a rich and flexible cloud network product system and support business development.

Database stability
We believe that the stability of the database is the lifeline of the data business. The core value of the database to customers is to ensure that the data business continues to be online, so that the value of the data continues to expand. Alibaba Cloud Yaochi Database provides a rock solid database experience through multi-dimensional technologies such as automatic elastic scaling, real-time resource monitoring and diagnosis, automatic fault repair, data backup and recovery, high availability disaster tolerance, and database autonomy.

Cloud based stand-alone website architecture

When many customers start to use the cloud, they will simply use the cloud (server) as a common physical server, such as storing application systems, databases and files on the same cloud server. When there are more users, it is not convenient to expand the application capacity. It is also difficult to handle high concurrency requests simply by upgrading the specification. It is recommended to separate computing from storage. The cloud provides customers with more than just servers, but also many other cloud services, so that customers can do cloud architecture on the cloud, and ultimately bring high availability, flexibility and other advantages.

Elastic extension of architecture

Upgrade from a stand-alone manual deployment architecture to a cloud based fully hosted deployment architecture, so that the overall architecture has automatic elastic scalability, and can more flexibly respond to business access loads and high concurrency requests.

High availability of business

The active/standby architecture provided by the highly available form of RDS MySQL can support automatic database failover, with an SLA commitment of up to 99.99%, greatly improving the availability of the overall business and ensuring the continuous availability of the business.

Classic architecture of cloud websites

In entrepreneurial companies or companies operating in the amoeba model, there is greater uncertainty at the initial stage of new project release. Both the future expansion of the project and the operating cost of the project should be considered. The RDS MySQL solution provides customers with low-cost, agile and fast best practices. Typical industries: traditional enterprises, games, retail and other industries.

Cellular deployment

The system can be disassembled into multiple independent small systems for unit deployment according to regional rules, and distributed business nodes can achieve cross zone disaster recovery in different zones to ensure the stability and reliability of the core system.

cost reduction

The highly available ARM architecture of RDS MySQL can significantly reduce the cost of going to the cloud. At the same time, it can also increase the read-only instances of the ARM architecture to achieve read-write separation. It can also flexibly increase or decrease the number of read-only nodes.

Database remote disaster recovery

This architecture is applicable to customer business scenarios that do not meet the requirements of a single region and have higher requirements for data reliability (RPO) and service availability (RTO). They want to prevent machine room failures such as power failure and network disconnection, resist natural disasters such as earthquakes and typhoons, and have the capability of disaster recovery, backup, and recovery in different places.

Real time backup

RPO reaches second level

Long term archiving

Automatically manage the backup lifecycle

Table level recovery

Fault recovery time is greatly shortened

Public Cloud Dual AZ Disaster Recovery Drill

This architecture adopts single region dual zone deployment, and evenly deploys business systems in different zones, realizing zone level disaster recovery capability, thus ensuring business continuity. VPC, switches, load balancing NLB and other infrastructure realize the functions of private network system communication, security protection and application availability; Use cloud native PaaS products such as cloud database RDS, Redis, MongoDB, OSS object storage and other cloud service products to provide dual AZ or triple AZ high availability.

High availability

Ensure business continuity by combining the multi zone high availability of cloud product service level.

safety protection

Security measures such as cross zone security groups ensure the security of ECS.

Fault recovery

Through the deployment of single region and dual zones, the disaster recovery capability at the zone level is realized.

All round monitoring
Through transparent monitoring services and perceivable O&M events, risks and exceptions are identified, diagnosed and tracked to ensure the long-term reliability of the system and optimize the cloud resources of the whole station.
