146、cloud services.We have made every effort to improve the quality of our products and services over time covering their entire life cycle,from“the quality of Kingsoft Cloud service platform”to“carrying customer service security”.We implement standardized,systematic,and comprehensive measures to ensure
147、 business continuity and stability.Quality ManagementWe continuously strive to enhance the management system of our products and services.This year,on the basis of the technology center coordinating the product and service-related business of each department,we integrate the business operation and m
148、aintenance teams of each product line into the Technical Assurance Department.This move aims to improve communication and collaboration efficiency between the different business lines and the Technical Assurance Department,leading to the platform-based development and efficiency improvement.We ensur
149、e the delivery of high-quality cloud products by establishing and improving quality management systems and technical specifications,as well as optimizing quality control processes from the source.This year,we have issued technical specifications such as Kingsoft Cloud Software Product Quality Standa
150、rd 1.0 and Kingsoft Cloud Extranet Portal Carrier Connection Access Specification v1.2 to strengthen standardized management of product quality.In addition,we adhere to policies such as Kingsoft Cloud Data Center Access Technical Specifications and Kingsoft Cloud Server Hardware Introduction Specifi
151、cations to ensure the stability of the cloud platform by strictly controlling the quality of upstream product quality.The Company had no operational interruption this year.In terms of product safety management,we successfully met the third-party Service Organization Control(SOC)system assurance audi
152、t standards and verified the effectiveness of Kingsoft Cloud safety control within the audit scope.22KINGSOFT CLOUDEnvironmental,Social,and Governance Report 2022 Stability AssuranceManagement Specifications and Awareness Promotion&Implementation To ensure the stability and continuity of our busines
153、s operations,we have developed the Kingsoft Cloud Operation Management Specifications for Operation and Maintenance Authorization and revised the Kingsoft Cloud Security Management Specifications for Operation and Maintenance.We aim to avoid security risks and online failures due to employees lack o
154、f security awareness and operation violations by standardizing control online operation and maintenance,login,and operation permissions.To implement the above management standards,we organize knowledge learning and assessments,supervise employees to understand the relevant content,test their learnin
155、g outcomes,and ensure a 100%pass rate for frontline operations and maintenance personnel.Product Quality Monitoring We have developed the Kingsoft Cloud Service Monitoring Comprehensiveness Review Checklist to ensure comprehensive and effective monitoring of our cloud services.For cloud services not
156、 yet launched,we designate our key technical employees to conduct a monitoring coverage review against the checklist.For cloud services that are launched,we regularly conduct checklist reviews and inspection to ensure that the cloud services that have been launched continuously meet the checklist re
157、quirements during the maintenance and change process,thus guaranteeing a relatively complete monitoring capability.This year,we organized all relevant departments to conduct a full chain,systematic risk and potential danger mapping against the checklist and the software architecture diagram.As a res
158、ult,we identified and eliminated 65 hidden risks of P0 and P1 levels.To provide a complete and reliable checklist,we have sorted and improved over 180 monitoring items based on various components and product lines.The basic indicator coverage rate of checklist monitoring has been increased from 57%t
159、o 99%,forming a 6-layer monitoring model that encompasses the physical,operating system,network,application,service,and user layers.This approach has significantly improved the monitoring discovery rate.Change Operation Management In order to securely manage changes in our products and services,impr
160、ove the stability of IT services,and reduce the operational risk of changes,we have formulated the Change Management Specifications,and built the Aoge Cloud platform for unified operation and maintenance change operations.This platform offers a range of functions such as change workflow arrangement,
161、process control,and policy control,which enables us to make change operations online,standardized,and seamless.With the assistance of Aoge Cloud platform,we were able to achieve zero change in failures this year.Automated Processing To improve the efficiency of failure detection,location,and recover
162、y,we have developed the Kingsoft Cloud Service Failure Emergency Command Standards and automated failure management using the Bianque system.We integrate 24 troubleshooting scenarios from the computing and storage product line into the system,sort out frequent and repetitive problems and their solut
163、ions,and input them into the system.The platform automates the execution of root cause location and repair,thereby improving the efficiency and accuracy of failure resolution.This approach has led to improvements in the automation alarm level,reduced failure score6,and the number of major failures a
164、t P0 and P1 levels.Additionally,it has shortened the average time required for detecting,locating,and recovering faults while achieving a failure repair compliance rate of 82%.Accurate and Standard Processing To respond to different failures in a timely and accurate manner,we have classified the pro
165、duct failures at level P&S in the view of the product and the customer,to objectively evaluate the level of product and service failures7.To standardize the handling process after a failure occurs,we have developed the Kingsoft Cloud Service Failure Emergency Command Platform(ksc-warroom).This year,
166、we have further refined the management structure of the platform,designating leaders for cross product line failures.We also coordinated the progress and feedback information of product line failure management,ensuring transparent failure information for each product line while improving the failure
167、 handling efficiency.In addition,by thoroughly understanding our customers business structure,we associate product failures to specific business lines and achieve precise failure localization through visualized business structure diagrams.This narrows the impact scope of failures to individual custo
168、mer business lines,enhancing efficiency and effectiveness in addressing issues.6 Failure score:a comprehensive measurement indicator that reflects the impact of a failure.7 Level of failure classification method:Different P levels are classified from the proportion of total services provided by the
169、affected platform,the length of impact and the degree of impact;S levels are classified based on the assessment of the impact to customers.2323KINGSOFT CLOUDEnvironmental,Social,and Governance Report 2022 Service Quality AssuranceKingsoft Cloud is committed to providing customers with satisfactory s
