To accomplish modernisation in the Chinese style, the 20th National Congress of China emphasised the significance of developing new growth engines and establishing a digital industrial cluster. Cloud computing has emerged as an essential technical foundation for the digital economy, fostering innovation and reshaping the global competitive landscape.
As a prominent authority in domestic cloud computing, Trusted Cloud has played a crucial role in the development of China’s cloud computing industry. The 2023 Trusted Cloud Best Practice Collection Activity was launched by the China Academy of Information and Communications Technology (CAICT) and the Cloud Computing Open-Source Industry Alliance to further promote technological innovation and improve industry service levels.
The Trusted Cloud Best Practice Collection Activity invites service providers and user companies who have undergone or are undertaking the Trusted Cloud evaluation to participate. Up to four options can be submitted by companies in various categories, divided into technology best practices, industry service best practices, and user case best practices. This all-encompassing strategy promotes innovation, knowledge exchange, and collaboration in the cloud computing industry.
The activity’s technology best practices are geared toward improving cloud services offered by service providers. It includes six categories: fundamental services, cloud-native solutions, hybrid and private clouds, software engineering, cloud management and optimisation, and security.
By emphasising best practices in these areas, Trusted Cloud intends to foster continuous improvement and provide cloud computing solutions that are dependable and secure.
Trusted Cloud also puts best practices for industry services at the top of its list. It focuses on cloud service providers in areas like government affairs, banking, transportation, energy, industry, automobiles, new retail, agriculture, entertainment, and education.
By making solutions fit the needs of certain industries, Trusted Cloud makes it possible for service providers to offer efficient cloud services that meet the specific needs of each field.
The user case best practice area shows how cloud computing has been used successfully in the past. For a cloud computing service or product to qualify, at least one of them must pass the Trusted Cloud Evaluation.
This requirement makes sure that the use cases that are shown off meet the highest standards of trustworthiness, security, and speed. This encourages others to use cloud computing technologies in the same way.
The applicant units are responsible for making sure that their application materials are real and correct. If they give false information, they will be disqualified and face other penalties. The application materials should be filled out exactly as the sponsor’s template says to, with no mistakes or gaps. Writing the materials in an official and standard way makes them clearer and more professional.
The Trusted Cloud Best Practice Collection Activity is a place for China to try new things with cloud computing. It helps Chinese-style modernisation move forward by encouraging people to work together, spreading best practices, and showing successful use cases.
The CAICT and the Cloud Computing Open-Source Industry Alliance have the final say on how this activity should be interpreted. This highlights the importance of the Trusted Cloud as a driving force in shaping the future of the cloud computing industry.
Innovation in cloud computing is essential for Chinese-style modernisation. It drives digital transformation, boosts economic growth, increases global competitiveness, facilitates technological advancements, improves government services, bolsters resilience and security, supports sustainable development, and fosters collaboration.
China can unleash the full potential of the digital age and create a prosperous, inclusive, and technologically advanced society by prioritising cloud computing innovation.
