Since the Alibaba Cloud service caused a huge disruption, Jeff Zhang Jianfeng is forced to step down as chief of the cloud service. According to South China Morning Post, the CEO of Alibaba Group Holding, Daniel Zhang Yong, took over the management himself.
Because of the disruption in Hong Kong and Macau, critical cloud resources became lost for nearly 30 hours. This is the biggest failure in the last 10 years of the Alibaba cloud. Alibaba Cloud is the largest cloud service in China that is widely known today, and is widely used here by numerous US and European companies. While AWS entered the local market for a few days now, its capabilities are still incomparable.
Daniel Zhang Yong, chairman of Alibaba, now serves as interim president of Google Cloud Intelligence and the enterprise communications platform DingTalk. Seeing the employee’s letter, he said that Alibaba Cloud cannot afford losing customer trust. The decision to control the cloud service with the permission of a person does not matter the entire thing. Since Alibaba is offering goods and services to customers, it does not require additional services, but also to Alibaba sites like Taobao and Tmall, payment and logistics systems.

As such, the cloud segment becomes increasingly important for Alibaba, the company’s e-commerce platforms recently faced an increased competition from other players. He remains an important figure in Alibaba’s business even if the service, led by Zhang Jianfen, is obvious failure. In particular, he maintains the post of director of the consultancy firm Damo Academy. He also heads the development of chips in the AI department, to which Alibaba plans to transfer a fifth of its capacity by 2025, and for the projects related to the Internet of things.
Zhou Jingren, who was Deputy Director of Damo Academy, became the CTO of Alibaba Cloud, another important reshuffle Wu Zeming took over the role of CTO of Alibaba without losing any other positions. All new appointments are effective immediately after they have been announced. To the same time, Chinese-speaking (Ling Li), the former CTO of Alibaba in 2005, who joined Alipay in 2005 and became unpopular in the local hierarchy, will be restricted to the role of a consultant.
