    Service Content

    Architecture stability

    Identifies problems and provides optimization recommendations based on the analysis of services, application architecture, and technical architecture. Problems identified and optimization will cover:

    1. Service performance and scalability, including dynamic and static separation, traffic distribution, isolation and decoupling, traffic limiting, and downgrading
    2. Data access speed, including cache and database optimization
    3. Single point of failure (SPOF) and no data backup

    Capacity

    1. Provides capacity optimization recommendations based on customer service analysis and the expected peak traffic.
    2. Provides support in adjusting the number of clusters deployed and the specifications of cloud services.

    Security

    Conducts security assessment and provides optimization recommendations from four dimensions (access security, application security, data storage security, and management security) based on customer services.

    Monitoring and alerts

    Checks the alarms, resource load, and health status of Huawei Cloud services, analyzes service architecture, scenarios, and historical faults, and provides monitoring optimization recommendations based on Huawei Cloud monitoring configuration best practices.

    High availability

    Assesses the fault impact and recoverability and balances key metrics, including RTO, RPO and TCO to provide recommendations for AZ-level high availability deployment.

    Switchover drill

    Performs switchover drills for the cloud environment, system architecture, system performance, and emergency plans through active/standby switchovers, cluster HA, and backup and recovery, to verify the stability of service systems, identify risks in advance, and provide optimization recommendations.

    Performance

    Performs concurrency testing for various web application scenarios, including login, overview, and query, to identify customer system bottlenecks and provides optimization recommendations based on metrics in the CPTS report, such as the number of concurrent requests, transaction success rate, and response latency.

    Note: This service item applies only to stress tests supported by CPTS and does not include the fees (for VUM packages, test clusters, bandwidth, and EIP) generated by using CPTS during tests.

Prerequisites

  1. Customers shall apply for the Health Check Service 10 working days in advance so Huawei Cloud can assess the service feasibility.
  2. Customers shall authorize Huawei Cloud to monitor and analyze their cloud resources.
  3. Customers need to purchase resources for pressure tests.
  4. Customers shall not deny the recommendations or solutions confirmed by both parties without justified reasons.
  5. Customers take on major responsibilities for the O&M and need to perform related work.

Service Scope

  1. Service Items covered

    Huawei Cloud provides the consultation, usage, and configuration best practices on the cloud architecture, capacity, security, and monitoring.

  2. Service Items not covered
    1. Designing and O&M of application systems, including but not limited to customer application development, test, deployment, migration, and fault diagnosis
    2. Installation, configuration, patch update, test, fault diagnosis, and optimization of third-party software
    3. Internet Data Center (IDC) and hardware maintenance, including inspections, replacements, and diagnosis of network devices, servers, and storage devices

Service Process

"N" indicates the time when the service application is submitted. "Day" indicates a working day.

Both Huawei Cloud and customers should participate in the requirement confirmation. The two parties shall clarify service contents and results. If the two parties cannot reach an agreement, the service cannot be provided.

Service Deliverables

Improvement Proposal

Responsibilities

  1. Shared responsibilities
    1. Negotiate and confirm the service content and objectives.
    2. Sign the contract.
  2. Huawei responsibilities
    1. Huawei Cloud shall appoint a dedicated project owner. If there is a personnel change due to special reasons, Huawei Cloud shall notify customers three working days in advance.
    2. Huawei Cloud can only use the authorized data for the Stability Improvement Service and shall not use the data for any other purposes.
  3. Customer responsibilities
    1. Customers appoint a project owner to assist Huawei Cloud in implementing, coordinating, managing, reviewing, and accepting the services provided.
    2. Customers provide system information, including but not limited to the application architecture, deployment architecture, and resource information.
    3. Customers provide necessary authorization for Huawei Cloud.

Acceptance Criteria

When Huawei Cloud has provided the Improvement Proposal and the customer has signed and sealed the Acceptance Report, or has completed online acceptance on the console, the service is accepted.
