Best Practices

Deploy a containerized application on a Kubernetes cluster and set up auto scaling to automatically adjust the compute capacity of the cluster in response to workload changes.

Alibaba Cloud makes it easy for SMEs to transform a single-server deployment and take advantage of cloud computing such as component isolation, reverse proxy load balancing, and auto scaling.

Compare network performances of Kubernetes clusters based on metrics including latency, throughput, and packet forwarding rate.

Alibaba Cloud provides various services to facilitate migrating on-premises Kubernetes deployments to Container Service for Kubernetes.

Alibaba Cloud allows you to easily deploy Spring Cloud applications on Alibaba Cloud Container Service for Kubernetes service with the help of tools such as kompose and Helm.

You can host Red Hat OpenShift clusters on Alibaba Cloud to reduce operational overheads associated with container orchestration.

Alibaba Cloud database backup and recovery solutions allow you to set up backup schedules to automatically create cold backups in a region away from your production data, ensuring disaster tolerance.

Launch a new business online in an efficient, economical, highly scalable, and flexible manner with high performance.

Centralize logs from third-party cloud service providers and on-premises data centers. Continuously monitor logs, search logs for specific patterns, and visualize log data through charts and graphs.

Enable your employees to log on to the Alibaba Cloud console by using your corporate credentials. Establish mappings between Resource Access Management (RAM) users or roles and AD users.

Implement database performance tests based on commonly used benchmarks, including the Transaction Processing Performance Council (TPC) and sysbench benchmarks.

Set up a multiregional system and connect your regional networks, and set up replication between regional databases.

Migrate your workloads from on-premises data center or a third-party cloud virtual machine to an Alibaba Cloud Elastic Compute Service (ECS) instance.

Migrate your self-built Apache Hive data warehouse systems to Alibaba Cloud E-MapReduce (EMR) for better scalability and reduced storage costs.

Deploy your application on an auto scaling architecture, which automatically adjusts the compute capacity in response to traffic fluctuations.

Use an API, SDK, or command-line interface (CLI) to easily manage Alibaba Cloud services.
