In the existing technology, all hardware devices and resources in the service node are generally used in the edge computing or cloud computing process. This will lead to the exclusive monopoly of the performance resources of the hardware device, and the control of the device is completely handed over to the cloud computing or edge computing business. On the user side, it is not conducive to the deployment of the hardware equipment owner's own business, and the sharing aspect is relatively poor.

Therefore, this application provides an edge computing node deployment method. First, an edge computing virtual machine is created in the host machine according to the node configuration file corresponding to the host machine, and then the edge computing virtual machine is registered to the edge through a unique identifier assigned by the server. In the computing platform, instead of registering the entire host machine into the edge computing platform, the edge computing business program will finally be deployed to the edge computing virtual machine, so that the edge computing virtual machine has the function of an edge computing node, that is, all Part of the hardware of the host machine is deployed as an edge computing node. It can be seen that an edge computing node is deployed in the host machine through a virtual machine to implement edge computing. The node and the host machine are isolated from each other and will not invade the virtual machine. Hardware resources avoid monopolizing all hardware resources of the host machine, and the virtual machine can be adjusted independently regardless of the host machine, which improves the management and control efficiency of the node and connects the edge nodes to the edge more safely, conveniently and efficiently in computing networks.

Specifically, an edge computing node deployment method provided by this application is described below through an embodiment.

Referring to Figure 1, Figure 1 is a schematic flow chart of the first embodiment of the present invention.

In a first embodiment, the method may include:

S101, the host creates an edge computing virtual machine based on the obtained node configuration file;

In this embodiment, for convenience of description, the host computer is simply called the host machine. Among them, in this step, the node configuration file can be obtained through user input. Specifically, after obtaining the configuration information input by the user through the web management system in the host machine, the configuration information is saved into the node configuration file, and then the edge computing virtual machine is created based on the node configuration file. Among them, the configuration file includes but is not limited to memory, CPU, storage path, and storage size.

The configuration of the edge computing virtual machine is controlled by the node configuration file. The configuration information in the node configuration file can be determined by the default configuration of the web management system, or can be determined by the web management system based on the preset ratio and host configuration, or can also be determined by the information input by the user to the web management system. This node configuration file will affect the performance of the edge computing virtual machine, but generally speaking, the edge computing virtual machine is virtualized in the host. The hardware performance of the edge computing virtual machine is independent, and the data is isolated from the host. They do not affect each other and can ensure the independent operation of the host machine and the virtual machine.

The node configuration file can include the number of cores of the host's CPU used by the virtual machine and the size of the storage space used by the virtual machine. For example, a PC has an 8-core processor and a 1TB memory storage space. When using a PC as the host, you can set the CPU used by the virtual machine to 4 cores in the setting information, and the available storage space is 500GB. In this way, after the virtual machine is running, only the corresponding hardware resources set in the setting information are used, and the host machine with other resources can run other applications or programs.

It is conceivable that in this embodiment, the performance resources and configuration of the edge computing virtual machine can be adjusted and controlled through the node configuration file, so as to form a good cooperation between the virtual machine and the host machine.

S102, register the edge computing virtual machine to the edge computing platform according to the unique identifier received from the server;

Based on S101, this step requires registering the edge computing virtual machine with the edge computing platform instead of registering the entire host device with the edge computing platform. It should be noted that the process of registering the edge computing virtual machine to the edge computing platform in this step is similar to activating the edge computing virtual machine in the edge computing platform. The edge computing virtual machine is recorded in the edge computing platform through a unique identifier. In the edge computing platform, the edge computing platform uses the unique identifier or other identifier to operate the edge computing virtual machine.

Specifically, the unique identifier in this step is sent by the server to the host. It may be that after the host computer completes the creation of the edge computing virtual machine, it sends a unique identification request to the server, and then the server sends the unique identification request to the host computer. It can also be that when the host machine sends a unique identification request to the server during the creation of the edge computing virtual machine, the server then sends the unique identification to the host machine. It is also possible to send the unique identification request to the server before creating the edge computing virtual machine, so that the server sends the unique identification to the host. The unique identification request is sent before creating the edge computing virtual machine. Specifically, the unique identification request may be sent while obtaining the node configuration file, or the unique identification request may be sent when downloading the virtual machine. It can be seen that the method of obtaining the unique identifier in this step is not unique, and the corresponding obtaining method can be selected according to the actual situation. As long as the edge computing virtual machine is successfully registered to the edge computing platform, the unique identifier acquisition solution can be used as the acquisition solution in this embodiment, and will not be described again here.

Preferably, this step may also include:

Before the host receives the unique identifier, the server calculates the unique identifier based on the overall platform scheduling information and sends the unique identifier to the host.

It can be seen that this alternative mainly explains how the host obtains the unique identifier. Specifically, in this step, the server calculates the overall scheduling information of the platform, obtains a unique identifier, and then sends the unique identifier to the host. Generally, when the server receives the unique identification request sent by the host, it calculates the unique identification based on the overall platform scheduling information.

S103: Deploy the edge computing business program to the edge computing virtual machine, making the virtual machine become a computing node.

Based on S102, this step aims to deploy the edge computing business program to the edge computing virtual machine, that is, to enable the edge computing virtual machine to have the function of performing edge computing.

Generally speaking, realizing corresponding functions requires the cooperation of multiple plug-in modules. Taking the IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service) business function as an example, the edge computing business program can include basic plug-in modules and IaaS business plug-in modules. Among them, the basic plug-in module includes a business management system, which is used for storage isolation, storage management, traffic monitoring, process isolation, network isolation and various security monitoring. The above functional modules can be executed as needed, and the execution method can be selected to be executed in parallel or sequentially. For example, monitor network traffic and isolate processes. Moreover, the business management system in the basic plug-in module can schedule, deploy, and manage IaaS business plug-ins to deploy new IaaS services in edge computing virtual machines, schedule new IaaS services according to needs, and perform existing IaaS services manage. The business management system mainly manages the IaaS business through the IaaS business plug-in module. The IaaS business plug-in module includes various business plug-in programs for executing different IaaS services.

It is conceivable that in this step, other business function programs can also be deployed in order to realize different business functions, and details will not be described here.

Preferably, this step may also include:

Collect data from edge computing business programs and upload the data to the edge computing platform to monitor edge computing nodes.

It can be seen that this optional solution can achieve good monitoring and management of the edge computing node. Among them, the obtained data includes but is not limited to performance data, network data, and data processing status data of edge computing business programs.

At the same time, because the edge computing virtual machine does not exclusively occupy all the hardware resources of the host, there are unused hardware resources in the host. Therefore, edge computing virtual machines can be tuned without considering the hardware usage of the host machine.

In this embodiment, an edge computing virtual machine is first created in the host machine according to the configuration file, and then the edge computing virtual machine is registered to the edge computing platform through a unique identifier assigned by the server, instead of registering the entire host machine to the edge computing platform. In the platform, the edge computing business program will finally be deployed to the edge computing virtual machine, so that the edge computing virtual machine has the function of an edge computing node, instead of deploying all the hardware of the host machine as an edge computing node. It can be seen that through the virtual machine This method deploys an edge computing node in the host machine to implement edge computing, and the data between the node and the host machine are isolated from each other, which will not occupy the hardware resources other than the virtual machine and avoid all the hardware resources of the host machine. It is exclusive and can adjust virtual machines independently without considering the host situation, which improves the management and control efficiency of nodes and connects edge nodes to the edge computing network more safely, conveniently and efficiently.

As a preferred embodiment, please refer to Figure 2, which is a schematic flowchart of creating a virtual machine in the first embodiment of the present invention.

The above process of creating an edge computing virtual machine based on the obtained node configuration file may include:

S201: The host receives the input configuration information through the web management system; the configuration information includes memory, CPU, storage path, and storage size; saves the configuration information as a node configuration file;

This step aims to receive the configuration information input by the user through the web management system, that is, through the web-based management system, and save the configuration information as a node configuration file, that is, the local disk of the server is saved to the corresponding node configuration file. Among them, the configuration information includes memory, CPU, storage path, and storage size.

The input method of the configuration information can be that the user directly inputs through the computer device, or the user can remotely input the configuration information and then send the configuration information to the web management system, or it can also be the configuration information sent from the peer device through the network.

It is conceivable that in this embodiment, the user can also further manage and adjust the edge computing virtual machine in the host machine through the web management system. Therefore, the web management system includes but is not limited to a virtual machine configuration management page, a virtual machine data display page, and a virtual machine control management page.

S202: Send the node configuration file to the virtual machine management program through the preset interface;

Based on S201, this step aims to send the node configuration file from the web management system to the virtual machine management program in the host through a preset interface. Among them, the preset interface may be an API (Application Programming Interface) interface, which is an API interface opened in the form of a server after the host creates a virtual machine management program.

S203. Control the virtual machine management program to perform a virtual machine creation operation according to the configuration information in the node configuration file to obtain an edge computing virtual machine.

Based on S202, this step aims to control the virtual machine hypervisor to perform a virtual machine creation operation based on the configuration information in the node configuration file to obtain an edge computing virtual machine. That is, in this step, the edge computing virtual machine is mainly created through the operation of the virtual machine hypervisor. Among them, the virtual machine hypervisor can be any virtual machine hypervisor provided by the existing technology, and is not specifically limited here.

Preferably, this step may include:

Step 1: The host determines whether there is a virtual machine program locally; if so, perform step 2; if not, perform step 3;

Step 2: Control the hypervisor to create an edge computing virtual machine based on the node configuration file;

Step 3: Download the target virtual machine program; control the virtual machine management program to create an edge computing virtual machine based on the target virtual machine program and node configuration file.

It can be seen that this optional solution mainly determines whether a virtual machine program already exists in the host machine. The virtual machine programs include but are not limited to vitrualbox, vmware, hyper-v. If it exists, you can directly use it to create the edge computing virtual machine. If it does not exist, you need to download the corresponding target virtual machine, and finally control the virtual machine management program to create an edge computing virtual machine based on the target virtual machine program and node configuration file.

It can be seen that this embodiment ensures that the edge computing node is deployed to the edge computing virtual machine by first creating an edge computing virtual machine in the host according to the node configuration file corresponding to the host, so as to ensure that the connection between the host and the edge computing node is isolation and security.

Based on the above embodiments, the present invention provides a more specific edge computing node deployment method.

Referring to Figure 3, Figure 3 is a schematic flow chart of a second embodiment of the present invention.

In the second embodiment, the specific application scenarios of this solution include host machines, virtual machine hypervisors, virtual machines, edge computing business programs, and web management systems.

Among them, the host machine, that is, the node that currently needs to be accessed, includes personal PCs, idle servers, professional mining machines and other equipment. Through virtualization technology, it can be used as a shared node to access the edge computing web management system to provide users with virtual machine operations. The portal includes starting and stopping virtual machines, entering configuration settings, viewing revenue, etc.; the virtual machine management program downloads and installs different virtual machines and virtual machine images according to different host operating systems, and completes the creation and startup of virtual machines. Stop, speed limit, disk management and other operations; virtual machine module, virtual machines include virtualbox, vmware, hyper-v and other virtualization solutions, and supporting virtual machine image packages.

Among them, the edge computing business program includes basic plug-in modules and IaaS business plug-in modules. The basic plug-in module includes business management system, storage isolation and storage management, traffic monitoring, process isolation, network isolation, and various security monitoring; the IaaS business plug-in module includes various business plug-in programs and the business management system in the basic module plug-in Can schedule, deploy, and manage IaaS business plug-ins.

On this basis, the method in this embodiment may include:

S301: The host receives the configuration information input by the user through the web management system; the configuration information includes memory, CPU, storage path, and storage size; and saves the configuration information as a node configuration file;

S302, the web management system automatically downloads and installs the virtual machine management program, and guides the user to start the virtual machine management program;

S303, after the virtual machine management program is started, the preset interface will be opened to the outside world in the form of a server, and the web management system will send the saved node configuration file to the virtual machine management program;

S304, after the virtual machine management program accepts the node configuration file, it automatically downloads the virtual machine, and then creates and starts the edge computing virtual machine according to the virtual machine configuration information;

S305, input the device activation code through the web management system, and the virtual machine management program calls the activation interface provided by the edge computing virtual machine to activate the edge computing virtual machine, so that the edge computing virtual machine becomes a uniquely identified edge computing node;

S306: After the edge computing virtual machine is started, deploy and start the basic plug-in module for the edge computing;

S307: After the basic plug-in module is started, schedule and deploy the IaaS business program from the server side, and collect various IaaS business plug-in data at the same time.

It can be seen that this embodiment first creates an edge computing virtual machine in the host machine according to the node configuration file corresponding to the host machine, and then registers the edge computing virtual machine into the edge computing platform through the unique identifier assigned by the server, instead of registering the edge computing virtual machine with the host machine. The host is registered as a whole into the edge computing platform, and finally the edge computing business program is deployed to the edge computing virtual machine, so that the edge computing virtual machine has the function of an edge computing node, instead of deploying all the hardware of the host machine as an edge computing node. It can be seen that an edge computing node is deployed in the host machine through the virtual machine to implement edge computing, and the node and the host machine are isolated from each other and will not occupy hardware resources other than the virtual machine and avoid all hardware resources of the host machine. Exclusively, and the virtual machine can be adjusted independently without considering the host situation, which improves the efficiency of node management and control, and connects edge nodes to the edge computing network more safely, conveniently and efficiently.
