In an interview, a senior engineer from China Merchants Bank explains why the bank embraced the open‑source KubeVela platform, how it fits their stringent financial‑industry requirements, and the practical steps they took to integrate and contribute to the cloud‑native ecosystem.
This article explains the evolution of cloud‑native technologies, the need for an application management platform, the challenges it must address, and how KubeVela’s OAM‑based design principles provide a unified, workflow‑driven, extensible solution for multi‑cluster environments.
The article explains how application and user location maps illustrate the geographic distribution of software usage, development, and hosting, outlines their purposes for capacity planning and support, describes typical user interactions, and introduces UML/BPMN EAP and Archimate profiles for modeling these relationships in enterprise architecture.
This article explains how to construct a Kubernetes platform that puts applications first by using the Open Application Model (OAM), covering the required architectural layers, core concepts such as Components, Traits, ApplicationConfiguration, Definition objects, and the practical benefits for platform engineers.
This article explains the motivations behind OAM, outlines its eight core values—including cloud‑native declarative definitions, platform‑agnostic deployment, infrastructure‑as‑code, architecture‑focused design, integrated operations, transparent integration, role separation, scalability, and modular collaboration—while providing concrete YAML examples and AWS ECS CLI principles.
This article explains how the Open Application Model (OAM), announced by Alibaba Cloud and Microsoft, aims to simplify cloud‑native application delivery by providing a standardized, declarative model that separates application description from operational traits, addressing the complexity of cloud app management.
This article presents Autohome's journey from fragmented application deployment to the unified A-One platform, outlining its design rationale, cloud-native architecture, implementation outcomes, and roadmap to boost developer productivity and system reliability across the organization.
