The Beijing Winter Olympics chose Alibaba Cloud instead of the American Cloud, foreigners questioned continuously, and Bach told the truth in one sentence! Some time ago, the Beijing Winter Olympics announced that the core system has achieved 100% full cloud. After the news came out, the foreigners were boiling. Some people questioned why the Beijing Winter Olympics chose Alibaba Cloud, which has the third largest global market share, instead of the higher-ranked Microsoft Amazon. In fact, Bach told the truth as early as last year's Tokyo Olympics. "Thanks to China's cloud computing, technology is vital to the Olympics," Bach said. "In the final analysis, Alibaba Cloud has become a cooperation cloud for the Beijing Winter Olympics, and as an official Olympic partner, it is not the amount of market share, but hard power. Previously, the international authoritative organization Gartner conducted an overall assessment of global cloud computing manufacturers, and the result was that Alibaba Cloud won four firsts, achieving a technological overtaking of Microsoft Amazon. In this Olympic Games, Alibaba Cloud's role is even more indispensable. The Beijing Winter Olympics were broadcast to the world through Alibaba Cloud, providing more than 6,000 hours of 4K HD events to billions of viewers. Most critically, the use of cloud broadcasting can also greatly reduce the complexity of the broadcast process, and significantly reduce the cost of manpower and space. For example, after the Beijing Olympic Games went to the cloud, there was no longer a need to build a one-time computer room, and the control of all systems was completed directly on the cloud. In this way, human resources can be more invested in content innovation. 360-degree slow-motion playback, holographic projection communication, the audience can also selectively watch the game, even if it is the preliminary round that was rarely broadcast before, it can be broadcast through cloud computing. The Olympic Games plus cloud computing, digital transformation has brought a new look to the centennial Olympic Games.
