Description

A heterogeneous cloud management system and method suitable for cloud computing

technical field

The present invention relates to the technical field of cloud computing, in particular to a heterogeneous cloud management system and method suitable for cloud computing.

Background technique

With the rapid development of cloud computing, there are more and more domestic cloud platform manufacturers. Sometimes in the same data center, due to business inconsistency, different cloud platforms will be deployed. And because each cloud platform is developed by different manufacturers, there are certain differences in the management and secondary development interfaces provided, resulting in the cloud platform itself is becoming a "chimney" development; therefore, a unified heterogeneous cloud management platform has become an emerging trends. At present, for the management of heterogeneous clouds, the common practice is to customize according to the inconsistency of the interface of each cloud manufacturer. This method has the following disadvantages:

(1) The development is complicated, and needs to be customized for each cloud platform interface calling method. It is necessary to understand the business logic managed by each cloud platform manufacturer, which requires high requirements for developers.

(2) The scalability is weak, and it is usually customized according to the different cloud manufacturers of each data center. If a new cloud manufacturer needs to be included, the development cycle will become longer, and it may not be compatible with the existing multi-cloud management. frame.

Another way is to connect all heterogeneous clouds through resource adaptation to form a unified resource pool for management. This method will shield the characteristics of all heterogeneous clouds, and there is no way for users to choose what they need according to application needs. Deploy applications on cloud platforms; for example, some applications are suitable for deployment on cloud platforms with relatively high security, and some applications are suitable for deployment on cloud platforms with relatively high IO read and write. meet this requirement.

The method of the present invention has strong scalability, and because a unified standard adaptation layer interface is adopted, if a new cloud platform needs to be expanded and accessed later, it can be included only by adding the adaptation to the cloud platform interface; the method of the present invention retains all different While building platform features, it also supports unified management and interface scheduling, allowing users to choose the required cloud platform deployment according to application needs.

Description of drawings

Below in conjunction with accompanying drawing, the present invention is further described:

Fig. 1 is a flowchart of the present invention;

Fig. 2 is the implementation frame diagram of the present invention

Detailed ways

In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention clearer, the following will further explain in detail in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and actual implementation cases, as shown in Figures 1 and 2, the specific implementation process is as follows:

The adaptation layer of this implementation case adopts the Spring Boot development framework, and can also be implemented by other suitable development frameworks.

1. Connect to heterogeneous cloud vendors, and match the method names and parameters of the external management interface provided by the cloud vendor with the unified standard adaptation layer interface one by one to form a configuration table.

In this implementation case, Alibaba Cloud, vMware, and OpenStack are selected as the heterogeneous cloud vendors. In order to achieve unified management of the three heterogeneous clouds, the first thing to do is to use the external management APIs of the three cloud vendors. Sort out the interfaces needed for unified management. Here we sort out several common function APIs, which can be expanded later as needed. The functional interfaces are as follows:

And name the API methods and parameters to ensure that all heterogeneous cloud operations go through a unified API interface.

Each interface has a corresponding configuration table, which converts the standard interface name and corresponding parameters into the Ali, vMware, OpenStack native interface name and parameters to be called.

2. The unified platform calls the unified adaptation layer interface according to user operations, and the passed parameters include the type of the specified heterogeneous cloud manufacturer.

For example, create a virtual machine interface

The configuration table is injected into the properties file in the Spring environment. Each interface corresponds to a properties file, such as creating a virtual machine interface, file CreateInstance.Properties, and some parameters:

InstanceId = aliyun.InId; G-Cloud.InstanceId

InstanceIdName=aliyun.InName; G-Cloud.InstanceName

Code explanation: The first parameter is the standard API virtual machine id, which corresponds to the virtual machine ID name of Alibaba Cloud aliyun.InId, and corresponds to the virtual machine id of Guoyun G-Cloud.

3. The adaptation layer converts the standard API method and related parameters called into the interface of the corresponding cloud manufacturer type according to the specified heterogeneous cloud manufacturer type.

Part of the code:

4. The cloud vendor returns parameters to the adaptation layer according to the interface called, and the adaptation layer encapsulates the returned parameters into standard output results, and returns the results to the unified management platform for display.

Uniformly return JSON results:
