Huawei Achieves Leadership Position in Gartner Magic Quadrant for Container Management 2025
On August 6, 2025, Gartner published its latest report on the Magic Quadrant for Container Management, recognizing Huawei as a leader in this critical technology space. This position highlights Huawei's significant advancements and investments in cloud-native technologies, particularly under its Huawei Cloud division.
Huawei Cloud has introduced a variety of innovative products in the container management realm, such as CCE Turbo, CCE Autopilot, Cloud Container Instance (CCI), and Ubiquitous Cloud-Native Service (UCS). These products are designed to optimize infrastructure for managing large-scale, scalable container workloads across various environments including public, distributed, hybrid, and edge cloud settings.
One of the standout features of Huawei Cloud is its proficiency in supporting newly developed cloud-native applications and the containerization of existing applications, including AI-related workloads. The platform's extensive capabilities allow it to cater to a diverse range of usage scenarios while maintaining a robust competitive edge, particularly evident in the field of AI containers.
As an active contributor to open-source initiatives, Huawei Cloud continues to play a pivotal role within the cloud technology ecosystem. The company has been involved with 82 CNCF projects and holds leadership positions with over 20 project maintainer seats, making it the only Chinese cloud provider to serve as vice-chair in the CNCF Technical Oversight Committee. This involvement underscores Huawei Cloud’s commitment to the advancement of cloud technologies.
The scale and reach of Huawei Cloud's container product matrix are unparalleled in the industry today. One notable success story includes the Middle Eastern OTT platform Starzplay, which transitioned to a serverless architecture using Huawei Cloud's CCI. This move enabled the service to effectively handle millions of access requests during the 2024 Cricket World Cup while simultaneously reducing resource costs by 20%.
In another case, Ninja Van, a leading logistics provider in Singapore, leveraged Huawei Cloud's CCE for uninterrupted service delivery during peak hours, enhancing order processing efficiency by 40%. Similarly, Chilquinta Energía, one of Chile's three major energy companies, upgraded its big data platform to a cloud-based architecture using Huawei Cloud's CCE Turbo, resulting in an impressive 90% performance improvement.
The e-commerce platform Konga in Nigeria has also benefited significantly from transitioning to a fully cloud-based architecture with CCE Turbo, allowing them to provide millions of active users with a seamless shopping experience every month. Furthermore, visual creation platform Meitu in China uses Huawei's CCE and Ascend cloud services to support the deployment and extraction of various models and algorithms, thus expediting large-scale training iterations and enabling users to share significant moments in their lives in real time.
Huawei Cloud is committed to fostering partnerships with global operators to continue driving cloud-based technology innovations and sharing their successes. This recognition from Gartner is a testament to Huawei’s dedication to meeting the evolving needs of businesses across numerous sectors, utilizing advanced container management strategies to enhance operational efficiency.
The Gartner Magic Quadrant is a renowned and influential research publication that rates vendors based on their ability to execute and completeness of vision. The findings in their reports do not affirm any specific vendor, product, or service and should not be used as a sole basis for technology selection. Instead, it serves as a critical evaluation tool for businesses seeking the best solutions for their needs in the dynamic field of container management.
