On July 23rd, the 2024 Trusted Cloud Conference, hosted by the China Communications Standards Association and organized by the China Academy of Information and Communications Technology (CAICT), was held in Beijing. The conference, with the theme of "Cloud opens up a new era of intelligence, trustworthy future, and common progress", released the top ten keywords of cloud computing in 2024, interpreted the "Cloud Computing White Paper (2024)", launched demonstration projects for software and hardware collaboration in the intelligent computing ecosystem, AI Cloud MSP technology service laboratory, etc., and announced the latest evaluation results and best practices of trustworthy cloud in 2024. Dai Xiaohui, Vice Chairman and Secretary General of the China Communications Standards Association, stated that cloud computing, as a key foundation of the digital information world, plays a crucial role in promoting the deep integration of new generation information technologies such as big data and artificial intelligence with the real economy, and has become an important lever for industrial transformation and upgrading, as well as the construction of digital ecosystems. With the support and promotion of national policies, the integration and innovation of cloud computing standard system and new technologies are gradually strengthening, and the influence of standards is steadily increasing. Regarding the future standardization work in the field of cloud computing, Dai Xiaohui put forward three suggestions: firstly, implement relevant national policies and actively lead enterprises to transform from good cloud to deep cloud use. The second is to seize the opportunities of advanced technology and develop standards related to the new generation of cloud technology and applications. The third is to promote effective integration between supply and demand, and to leverage the platform role of the Promotion Committee. Wei Liang, Vice President of the China Academy of Information and Communications Technology, stated that cloud computing is the core infrastructure of the digital age. Currently, the overall development of China's cloud computing industry is becoming increasingly mature, and a series of new demands, technologies, and formats represented by artificial intelligence are accelerating iteration, bringing new development opportunities and challenges to the cloud computing industry. To this end, Wei Liang put forward three suggestions: firstly, vigorously promote enterprises to use cloud computing and enrich cloud computing products and services for various industries. The second is to continuously optimize the cloud computing industry ecosystem and fully leverage the role of the intelligent foundation of cloud computing. The third is to continuously strengthen the construction of a security system and improve the key technology, service, and application standard system of cloud computing. The conference released the results of the trusted cloud evaluation for the first half of 2024. After more than a decade of development, Trusted Cloud has formed a comprehensive monitoring and evaluation system that covers pre -, during -, and post events. It has established a comprehensive evaluation system that includes cloud infrastructure services and software, cloud native, cloud network edge, one cloud multi-core, hybrid cloud, dedicated cloud, cloud management, cloud optimization governance, cloud security, zero trust, software engineering, system stability, intelligent computing services, computing power services, computing power interconnection, industry cloud, open source governance, enterprise digitization, etc. It has become an important reference for government support, industry standards, and user selection. The conference also released the best practices for trustworthy cloud. The best practices for trustworthy cloud in 2024 are divided into three categories: technical best practices, industry service best practices, and user case best practices. This is to recognize cloud service enterprises that have made outstanding achievements in cloud technology, cloud services, cloud practices, and other aspects in the past year, and to showcase industry representative cases and achievements in a more comprehensive, systematic, and professional manner. At the meeting, the Cloud University Institute of the Chinese Academy of Information and Communications signed business cooperation agreements with Baidu AI Cloud, Zhongkeyushu and Xingyun Zhilian respectively, which will carry out technical standard formulation and industrial development research around cloud computing, open source, digital transformation and other fields, jointly enable industrial upgrading, improve the level of public services, and create a new chapter in the digital economy era. He Baohong, Director of the Institute of Cloud Computing and Big Data at the China Academy of Information and Communications Technology, interpreted the "Top Ten Keywords of Cloud Computing in 2024". Based on long-term research and observation of the industry, the China Academy of Information and Communications Technology has extracted the top ten keywords for cloud computing in 2024: application modernization, large model cloud services, intelligent cloud integration, one cloud multi X, distributed cloud, cloud optimization governance, "cloud+application" operation security, cloud native security, industry cloud platforms, and central state-owned enterprise cloud deployment. Through the top ten keywords of this year, it can be seen that cloud computing has become the digital foundation for building flexible and efficient IT infrastructure, as well as the cornerstone for accelerating enterprise business innovation and intelligent upgrading. He Baohong stated that in the future, the China Academy of Information and Communications Technology will closely follow the development trend and industry pain points of cloud computing, promote the landing and application of innovative cloud computing technologies, and facilitate the sharing and circulation of cloud computing knowledge. At the meeting, multiple research achievements were also released and research projects were launched, including the release of the "Guidelines for Cloud based Intelligence Practice of Central State owned Enterprises (2024)", the "Research Report on Multi converged Intelligent Computing Technology", the "White Paper on the Development of Intelligent Computing Network Applications under Cloud Network Integration - SRv6 Application Practice Based on DPU", the "Research Report on AIGC Driven DevOps Intelligent Application", the "Guidelines for Observability Capability Construction (2024)", the "Guidelines for Cloud Security Practice in the Industrial Sector", the "Research Report on Low altitude Economic Cloud Development", the "Research Report on Large Model Intelligent Computing Services", the first issue of "Top 20 Leading Enterprises in Cloud Computing in 2024" keywords and selected enterprises, and the "Computing Service Industry". Atlas (2024), Supply Capability Matrix for Cloud Service Providers of State owned Enterprises, Comprehensive Technical Capability Requirements for One Cloud and Multiple Computing The AI Cloud MSP (for intelligent scenarios) standard and the "Measurement Model for the Modernization of Securities Core Trading Systems" standard have been launched, including the demonstration project of intelligent computing ecosystem software and hardware collaboration, the co construction plan of one cloud and multiple computing ecosystems, the "Building Cloud Industry Clusters with Industry Cloud Platforms" deep cloud model room project for central state-owned enterprises, the AI Cloud MSP technology service laboratory, and the establishment of the Stability Guarantee Laboratory Insurance Industry Working Group, ToB Cloud Application and Service Promotion Matrix, and Application Modernization Promotion Center Securities Industry Working Group. This year's "2024 Trusted Cloud Conference" lasted for two days. In addition to the main forum, there were ten sub forums including Enterprise Cloud Application and Service Forum, Stability Guarantee and Automotive Cloud Forum, Industry Cloud Platform and Diversity Computing Platform Forum, Hybrid Cloud and Private Cloud Forum, Cloud Security Forum, Cloud Native and Large Model Cloud Service Forum, Intelligent Computing Cloud Service Forum, Central State owned Enterprise Cloud, Government Cloud, Transportation Cloud Forum, Computing Power Service Forum, Cloud Edge Collaboration Forum, etc. In the future, China Academy of Information and Communications Technology will continue to strive to grasp the latest developments and industry demands in cloud computing, promote the practical application of cutting-edge technologies, build an open communication platform, and accelerate the exchange and popularization of cloud computing knowledge.
