<h2>Challenge</h2>
China Unicom is one of the top three telecom operators in China, and to serve its 300 million users, the company runs several data centers with thousands of servers in each, using <a href="https://www.docker.com/">Docker</a> containerization and <a href="https://www.vmware.com/">VMWare</a> and <a href="https://www.openstack.org/">OpenStack</a> infrastructure since 2016. Unfortunately, "the resource utilization rate was relatively low," says Chengyu Zhang, Group Leader of Platform Technology R&D, "and we didnt have a cloud platform to accommodate our hundreds of applications." Formerly an entirely state-owned company, China Unicom has in recent years taken private investment from BAT (Baidu, Alibaba, Tencent) and JD.com, and is now focusing on internal development using open source technology, rather than commercial products. As such, Zhangs China Unicom Lab team began looking for open source orchestration for its cloud infrastructure.
<br><br>
<h2>Solution</h2>
Because of its rapid growth and mature open source community, Kubernetes was a natural choice for China Unicom. The companys Kubernetes-enabled cloud platform now hosts 50 microservices and all new development going forward. "Kubernetes has improved our experience using cloud infrastructure," says Zhang. "There is currently no alternative technology that can replace it." China Unicom also uses <a href="https://istio.io/">Istio</a> for its microservice framework, <a href="https://www.envoyproxy.io/">Envoy</a>, <a href="https://coredns.io/">CoreDNS</a>, and <a href="https://www.fluentd.org/">Fluentd</a>.

-->
<h2>解决方案</h2>
<p>Kubernetes 凭借其快速增长和成熟的开源社区,成为中国联通的自然选择。
中国联通启用 Kubernetes 的云平台现在托管着 50 个微服务,采用这种全新的开发模式向前推进。
“Kubernetes 改善了我们使用云基础设施的体验,”张承宇说。“目前没有其他技术可以替代它。”
中国联通还使用 <a href="https://istio.io/">Istio</a> 作为其微服务框架,
另外还使用了 <a href="https://www.envoyproxy.io/">Envoy</a><a href="https://coredns.io/">CoreDNS</a>
<a href="https://www.fluentd.org/">Fluentd</a></p>

<h2>Impact</h2>
At China Unicom, Kubernetes has improved both operational and development efficiency. Resource utilization has increased by 20-50%, lowering IT infrastructure costs, and deployment time has gone from a couple of hours to 5-10 minutes. "This is mainly because of the self-healing and scalability, so we can increase our efficiency in operation and maintenance," Zhang says. "For example, we currently have only five people maintaining our multiple systems. We could never imagine we can achieve this scalability in such a short time."
