These products provide the optimal cloud-native infrastructure for managing large-scale, scalable containerized workloads across public clouds, distributed clouds, hybrid clouds, and edge environments. Huawei Cloud is competitive in all studied use cases, including new cloud-native applications, containerization of existing applications, AI containers, edge applications, and hybrid cloud applications, especially in the AI container domain. Huawei Cloud is an active open-source contributor and a leader in the cloud-native technology ecosystem. As a long-standing contributor to the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF), Huawei Cloud has participated in 82 CNCF projects, holds over 20 project maintainer seats, and is the only Chinese cloud provider holding a vice-chair position on the CNCF Technical Oversight Committee (TOC). Huawei Cloud has donated several projects to CNCF, including KubeEdge, Karmada, Volcano, and Kuasar, and contributed benchmark projects such as Kmesh, openGemini, and Sermant in 2024.

The rapid growth of cloud-native compute power is widely acknowledged by global users and continually supports customers in achieving business success. Starzplay, an OTT platform in the Middle East and Central Asia, leveraged Huawei Cloud CCI to transition to a serverless architecture.

CCE Doer integrates AI agents throughout the container usage process, providing intelligent Q&A, recommendations, and diagnostics. It can diagnose over 200 critical exception scenarios with a root cause accuracy rate exceeding 80%, enabling automated and intelligent container cluster management. 3) Cloud native is rapidly evolving toward serverless.
