How China’s Telecom Leaders Accelerate DevOps & AIOps Standards for Faster Delivery

2024–2027 Information Standard Construction Action Plan

On May 29, 2024, the Central Cyberspace Administration, the State Administration for Market Regulation and the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology issued the plan, emphasizing the internationalization of IT standards, participation in ISO, IEC, ITU and alignment of domestic and international standards.

DevOps International Standard Assessment

China Academy of Information and Communications Technology (CAICT) launched a synchronized assessment based on ITU DevOps international standards and domestic standards, upgrading assessment scope, certificates and reports to implement the plan’s requirement for standard internationalization.

Latest DevOps / AIOps Assessment Results

More than 20 industries and over 100 enterprises have passed the domestic DevOps/AIOps assessments. In the telecom sector, the following projects were highlighted:

Zhejiang Mobile – OSS 4.0 Capability Center

OSS 4.0 builds a centralized performance center with unified data, modeling and computation, supporting business analytics and decoupled application development. The “4321” DevOps model (four layers, three teams, two lines, one integration) drives continuous optimization.

Beijing Mobile – E‑commerce System & Centralized Performance Management

The e‑commerce system uses the self‑developed AiDo platform for visual metrics, pipeline orchestration and layered automated testing, improving development efficiency and delivery quality. The performance management system adopts micro‑service decoupling, container deployment and a “thick middle‑platform, thin application” architecture.

Jiangsu Mobile – Alading Marketing Enablement Project

After the Level‑3 continuous delivery assessment, the project reduced requirement delivery cycle by 45 %, pre‑change time by 50 %, change failure rate below 5 %, average build time to ~5 minutes, and achieved 100 % automated test coverage.

China Telecom Integration – Biyi Collaborative Development Platform

The platform integrates Jenkins, Nexus, Harbor, SonarQube and other DevOps tools on a cloud‑native architecture, covering the full software lifecycle from requirement to release.

Other Notable Projects

China Unicom Group Resource Center – One‑Card Recharge (standardized interfaces across 31 provinces).

Inner Mongolia Mobile – 4A Unified Security Access System (account, authentication, authorization, audit).

Zhejiang Mobile – Honeycloud Energy Efficiency Platform (custom CI/CD pipeline).

Mobile Cloud – Cloud Service Provider AIOps General Capability Level‑3 assessment.

Migu Interactive Entertainment – AIOps observability Level‑3 assessment for gaming services.

System Reliability & Continuity (SRE) Assessments

Beijing Mobile’s CRM Order Center achieved Level‑3 SRE assessment, cutting fault incidents by 77 % and fault duration by 54 % year‑over‑year. Inner Mongolia Mobile’s Order Center reduced average fault recovery time by 60 % and fault count by 70 %.

Artificial Intelligence Operations (AIOps) Assessments

Mobile Cloud’s CC‑OPS platform passed the Level‑3 AIOps general capability assessment, delivering anomaly detection, alarm convergence and dynamic baselines. Migu’s fast‑gaming observability project also achieved Level‑3 evaluation.

Standard Introductions

The ITU‑DevOps international standard (ITU‑T Y.3525) was approved in 2018, defining requirements for cloud service development and operation. The domestic DevOps maturity model, jointly developed by CAICT, industry alliances and leading enterprises, has been adopted by many telecom and internet companies.
