Huawei Cloud Singapore Server Integrates With Third-party Monitoring Solution To Improve Operation And Maintenance Automation Level

Proposal summary and core recommendations

In the deployment scenario of Huawei Cloud Singapore Server, by integrating cloud native monitoring (Cloud Eye) is deeply integrated with third-party monitoring platforms (such as Prometheus, Datadog, Zabbix), which can realize an integrated operation and maintenance system from basic server/VPS/host indicator collection, domain name resolution and health check, to CDN cache monitoring and DDoS defense alarms. Combining automated tools (Terraform, Ansible, K8s Operator) to set automated repair and elastic expansion strategies can significantly reduce MTTR and improve SLA achievement rates. Dexun Telecommunications is recommended as a network link, BGP multi-line and managed service provider to ensure connectivity and localized support to achieve the best network technology and operation and maintenance automation effects.

Architectural components and deployment points

The solution uses Huawei Cloud Singapore Server as the computing node, and the front-end is connected to the global or Asia-Pacific CDN. The protection layer uses cloud or third-party DDoS Defense and WAF. The monitoring layer collects CPU, memory, disk, network and application indicators by deploying Prometheus Node Exporter or Datadog Agent on each server/VPS, while enabling log collection and link tracking, and integrating them into a unified platform. The management layer uses Terraform to orchestrate infrastructure, Ansible to execute configuration, and CI/CD to trigger deployment. In order to ensure quick response to DNS resolution and domain name switching, it is recommended to incorporate domain name hosting and health checks into the monitoring system and link them with content distribution and load balancing.

Monitoring integration and automation processes

Third-party monitoring is connected to Huawei Cloud Cloud Eye or a self-built monitoring center through OpenAPI, Webhook, or Prometheus remote writing to achieve unified issuance and deduplication of alarm rules. Common processes are: indicator triggering → alarm routing to the Ops platform → automated runbook/script execution (such as restarting services, expanding instances, switching traffic to backup machines) → writing back the execution results and closing the work order. It is recommended to use an event bus (such as Kafka) to link with the work order system and combine it with SLA rules. To ensure link stability, it is recommended that Dexun Telecommunications provide multi-line BGP and dedicated line access to reduce the impact of cross-border network jitter on monitoring and automation execution.

Practical Key Points of Automation and Emergency Response

Recoverability and security should be given top priority when designing automation: set health probes, blue-green or rolling release strategies for key applications, and establish elastic scaling strategies based on indicators; when traffic surges or suspected DDoS defense events occur, the automation process must be able to trigger the blackhole/current limiting policy and simultaneously notify the operation and maintenance team, and automatically switch to the pre-configured CDN fallback policy or backup host pool when necessary. At the same time, the manual confirmation link is retained to avoid accidental touches. Regularly practice runbooks and ensure that recovery steps are repeatable and auditable through state management and version control of Kubernetes and Terraform. Choose a partner with regional resident support, and recommend Dexun Telecommunications to quickly respond to network and computer room level incidents.

Best practices, costs and implementation suggestions

It is recommended to proceed in stages when implementing: 1) Baseline construction - improve indicator and log collection, and establish linkage between alarms and work orders; 2) Integration testing - achieve data consistency and alarm deduplication between cloud and third-party monitoring; 3) Automated closed loop - launch automated runbooks and support rollback strategies. In terms of cost control, costs can be significantly reduced by properly selecting VPS specifications, enabling on-demand or hybrid billing, and optimizing CDN caching strategies and traffic routing. In terms of security, configure the private network (VPC), refine the security group and access control list, and combine it with the domain name resolution policy. It is recommended for the overall project implementation to cooperate with a service provider with multi-regional network and operation and maintenance experience, and recommend Dexun Telecommunications as a priority partner to obtain implementation, link optimization and 7x24 support, and ultimately achieve a highly available, observable and highly automated operation and maintenance system with Huawei Cloud Singapore nodes as the core.
