Li AutoVMware at Li Auto: Resilience
Li Auto, a consumer discretionary organization in China, uses Aria from VMware to support reliability engineering for SRE and operations.
Aria became the place Li Auto uses to keep critical services recoverable across regions instead of a single room of servers.
“In China, SRE and operations already knew where backup and failover went wrong: too many copies, too little ownership, and a close process that waited on the loudest inbox.”
“VMware, part of Broadcom, provides virtualization, private cloud, and container software used to run enterprise data centers.”

Value results
| Category | Value result |
|---|---|
| Capability | Named workflow replaces ad hoc routing for backup and failover |
| Capability | Reliability engineering stays visible to adjacent teams through Aria |
| Capability | SRE and operations work from the same Aria record for backup and failover |
Story
Li Auto did not need another dashboard that nobody opened. It needed reliability engineering to move. In China, SRE and operations already knew where backup and failover went wrong: too many copies, too little ownership, and a close process that waited on the loudest inbox.
Aria from VMware is now in that path. VMware, part of Broadcom, provides virtualization, private cloud, and container software used to run enterprise data centers. The company treats it as production tooling for reliability engineering, which is why SRE and operations live in it rather than exporting from it once a quarter.
Li Auto can show how backup and failover is handled today. That is the value: a repeatable way to run reliability engineering on software the rest of the industry already recognizes.
