Huawei Cloud UCS Advantages

Huawei Cloud UCS helps you manage cloud native services across clouds and regions while providing consistent experience. It extends cloud native to wherever your services run, which eases your journey to digital upgrade.

  • Consistent experience

    Distributed Kubernetes clusters that can be connected to Huawei Cloud UCS include those running on Huawei Cloud (central region, IEC, and CloudPond), on-premises infrastructure, and third-party clouds. You can centrally manage the configuration policies of these clusters for the permissions management of tenants in enterprise projects and the refined management of IAM users' permissions for accessing Kubernetes resources. You can audit the service compliance of your clouds and clusters, as UCS centrally manages security policies and resource access restrictions of each cluster.

  • Collaborative compute scheduling

    Huawei Cloud UCS runs on Karmada, a multi-cloud container orchestration project contributed by Huawei Cloud to CNCF. With multi-cloud capabilities, UCS can connect to thousands of Kubernetes clusters across clouds and regions and schedule applications by coordinating millions of nodes. Your applications can scale across clouds and clusters, migrate upon failures, and run in the best condition based on global resource distribution, service characteristics, geographical locations, network QoS, and resource balancing. With UCS, compute is at your fingertips anytime, anywhere.

  • Intelligent traffic distribution

    There are container network orchestration and service discovery for flattened interconnection across clouds and clusters. This brings consistent service experience and makes communications secure and reliable. Huawei Cloud UCS distributes requests to the nearest, best-fit cluster to reduce the latency based on different policies such as visitor's CIDR blocks, regions, and carriers. It works with service meshes for unified service governance. Scheduling can be implemented based on network QoS. Geographical affinity, automated grayscale release, visualized service topology, and service tracing are also available. All these allow you to manage access traffic globally in real time and on demand.

  • Data migration with applications

    UCS automates cross-cloud data replication for the storage infrastructure, container clusters, and middleware. Data goes wherever your applications run. You can scale your applications on the distributed infrastructure with ease. During scaling, data scanning and rebuild are automated and application-centric. Integrated migration, scaling, and disaster recovery are completed for the entire service.

Huawei Cloud UCS vs. Traditional Cloud Native Products

Item

Traditional Cloud Native Products

Huawei Cloud UCS

Experience

There are vendor lock-ins due to customizations on cloud native technologies. You may have inconsistent experience when managing clusters in different regions, and you need to spend some time mastering related skills.

Consistent experience

Huawei Cloud UCS connects your clusters running on different clouds across central areas, hotspot areas, on-premises data centers, and business locations, providing consistent cloud native experience.

Scalability

Compute resources cannot be scheduled across clouds.

Collaborative compute scheduling

Running on Karmada, Huawei Cloud UCS centrally schedules multi-cloud resources and bursts on-premises applications to Huawei Cloud. UCS also provides multiple types of distributed deployment policies, so your applications can run in the best condition based on global resource distribution, service characteristics, geographical locations, network QoS, and resource balancing.

Application management

In most cases, traditional cloud native products manage applications in a single region, demanding little on application migration.

When scaling applications across clouds, O&M personnel need to clone and migrate application data manually, which is inefficient and requires heavy workload.

Data migration with applications

Huawei Cloud UCS supports synchronous data replication across clouds for you to scale your applications on the distributed infrastructure. Application disaster recovery, scaling, and migration become much easier.

Traffic management

Traffic management is decoupled from services. Requests are not distributed on demand. Access latency is high if requests are from a different region or carrier network.

Global traffic management

Huawei Cloud UCS distributes requests to the nearest, best-fit cluster to reduce the latency based on different policies such as visitor's CIDR blocks, regions, and carriers.

Efficiency

Applications need to be manually deployed in each cluster across clouds, a labor-intensive process.

Ready-to-use services

Huawei Cloud UCS allows you to batch deliver service configurations to each cluster in different regions through edge-cloud synergy. Service deployment becomes much faster, and there are no repetitive configurations.

O&M

Services scattered in the central region, in the on-premises data center, and at the edge need to be monitored separately, which results in a heavy O&M burden.

Multi-dimensional monitoring

Huawei Cloud UCS supports multi-dimensional monitoring on your resources in all regions and is compatible with open source Prometheus and OpenTelemetry ecosystems.
