Huawei Named Leader in Gartner Magic Quadrant for Container Management

13 Aug 2025 CW Team

Huawei Cloud competes strongly in all evaluated use cases, including new cloud-native applications, containerising existing applications, AI containers, edge applications, and hybrid cloud deployments, with particular strength in AI containers.

A key contributor to open-source innovation, Huawei Cloud has participated in 82 Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) projects, holds over 20 maintainer seats, and is the only Chinese cloud provider with a vice-chair role on the CNCF Technical Oversight Committee. Its contributions include donating projects such as KubeEdge, Karmada, Volcano, and Kuasar, and introducing benchmark projects like Kmesh, openGemini, and Sermant in 2024.

Huawei Cloud offers a comprehensive container product portfolio spanning public, distributed, hybrid, and edge clouds, with adoption across industries including Internet, finance, manufacturing, transportation, electricity, and automotive. Its services are deployed globally, enabling customers to achieve business goals through cloud-native computing.

Case studies include Starzplay, which used Huawei Cloud CCI to transition to serverless architecture, handling millions of requests during the 2024 Cricket World Cup while cutting resource costs by 20 per cent. Ninja Van in Singapore containerised all services with CCE, improving order processing efficiency by 40 per cent and ensuring zero service interruptions. Chilquinta Energía in Chile upgraded its big data platform with CCE Turbo, achieving a 90 per cent boost in performance. Konga in Nigeria transitioned fully to cloud-native architecture with CCE Turbo to support millions of monthly users. Meitu in China uses CCE and Ascend cloud services to manage AI computing resources, supporting rapid iteration of models for 200 million monthly users.

In AI-native cloud infrastructure, CCE AI clusters power CloudMatrix384 supernodes, delivering topology-aware scheduling, AI-specific auto-scaling, and ultra-fast container startups for improved AI training and inference efficiency. Huawei Cloud’s CCE Doer integrates AI agents for intelligent Q&A, recommendations, and diagnostics, achieving over 80 per cent accuracy in root cause analysis for critical exceptions.

Huawei Cloud’s serverless offerings, CCE Autopilot and CCI, enable businesses to focus on application development and innovation. Newly launched general-computing-lite and Kunpeng serverless containers improve computing cost-effectiveness by up to 40 per cent, ideal for scaling during significant traffic surges.

“Huawei Cloud will continue to partner with global operators to advance cloud-native technology innovations and share its successes. This collaboration will drive unprecedented industry transformation, opening up new opportunities for a more inclusive, accessible, and resilient digital society,” the company stated.

On 6 August, Gartner released the Magic Quadrant for Container Management 2025, positioning Huawei in the Leaders quadrant. This recognition highlights Huawei Cloud’s expertise and investments in Cloud Native 2.0. The company has introduced products such as CCE Turbo, CCE Autopilot, Cloud Container Instance (CCI), and the distributed cloud-native service UCS, delivering infrastructure for managing large-scale workloads across public, distributed, hybrid, and edge cloud environments.
