摘要 / Abstract
 
移动优先（Mobile-First）和云原生（Cloud-Native）已成为企业云架构的基本要求。本讲演结合开源云平台技术的价值的分析以及开放的云计算发展的趋势，特别介绍怎样利用包括 Cloud Foundry 和 Docker 在内的开源技术构建企业级云平台以及其开放的云服务生态系统，包括支持企业级云平台移动优先和云原生架构及实现其开放服务生态系统实现架构和思路，特别是讲演将侧重通过开放开源的技术来实现企业级云计算的基本需求，涉及到：

• 平台技术的融合：为满足企业级云计算服务的灵活性和可用性，怎样实现开放云计算技术的相互渗透和融合，动态地提供多元的计算资源，包括 整合企业的多种云计算模式：1).  IaaS vs. PaaS （基础资源 vs.应用资源）；2) 动态提供和管理多元计算资源：VMs vs. 容器； 3). 简化应用生命周期管理：高效的应用和服务开发、部署和运维。
• 微服务架构和价值：怎样利用灵活和可扩展的微服务架构支持企业云计算，包括新一代可扩展安全的云计算微服务架构，包括怎样通过分布式，隔离，和独立的微服务实现大型的企业级云应用。 

此外，通过本讲演，听众可以更多地了解：

• IaaS，PaaS，SaaS及之间的内在作用和连接。
• PaaS云平台技术的核心要点以及CloudFoundry和Docker架构的开源框架的优势所在。
• 企业对这里技术平台的需求分析和解决方案的呈现。  

Mobile-first and cloud-native become basic requirements of enterprise IT cloud architectures.  As an integral part of enterprise cloud computing solutions, PaaS plays a key role in continuously delivering business values and building sustainable competitive market advantages for enterprises.  In this talk, we will discuss how to leverage open cloud technologies, such as cloud foundry and docker, to build an enterprise cloud platform solution that enables continuous innovation with mobile-first and cloud-native considerations and create an open cloud service ecosystem, including how to design their architectures; in particular, we will cover the following topics:

• The merging of cloud technologies. Integrating and consolidating different open cloud technologies to enable multi-granular resource allocation and management to provide the desirable flexibility and visibility for enterprise IT architectures and meet different business application needs.
• Consolidating various cloud computing models, such as IaaS and PaaS, to offer computing resources ranging from infrastructure to applications.
• Providing multi-granular computing resources, such as VMs and containerized resources of various sizes to meet applications' needs.
• Streamlining app lifecycle management to for the users to effectively manage their app development, deployment, and operations.
• Micro-service architecture. Leveraging micro-service architecture to build a flexible enterprise cloud platform that supports cloud-native enterprise applications.

补充介绍
 
随着云计算服务市场的发展和成熟，特别是移动应用和企业需求的推动，云平台服务（PaaS）作为云基础设施服务（IaaS）和软件服务（SaaS）的桥梁，在云服务生态链中起到越来越关键的作用。而云计算的开放特性需要各云计算企业通过更为紧密、多维度地展开合作，形成良性的协同生态系统，从而有助于更有效地给企业用户交付云计算和大数据的产品与服务的价值。本报告先讨论云平台技术的演化，特别是用户需求的多样性需要开放的云平台提供多元的计算资源，使得云服务的各种形态，特别是PaaS和IaaS，在不断地融合。
 
本演讲者在云计算领域有多年的实战经验， 其所领导的公司Anchora有众多的云平台技术落地项目实例。特别是MoPaaS 是Anchora (安尚云信) 基于开源的技术打造的开放的智能化云平台，以满足中国企业级和开发者用户对云计算平台服务解决方案的需求。MoPaaS具有开放、敏捷、智能和安全的特点，特别是MoPaaS平台架构为目标用户提供满足不同需求的计算资源和调配管理，实现应用生命周期智能化管理，包括应用软件开发管理，连续集成，部署运维，监控管理，弹性扩容等。MoPaaS极大减少应用部署、升级、扩展和运维时间和成本。更重要的是，平台让使用者专注于应用本身和创新。本讲演将基于这些实战经验，详细分析开源云平台技术的价值以及开放的云计算发展的趋势，特别介绍怎样利用包括 Cloud Foundry 和Docker在内的开放开源技术构建企业级云平台以及其开放的云服务生态系统，包括实现企业级云平台及其开放服务生态系统实现架构和思路。将对云计算的落地有重要的指导作用。
