Abstract

All kinds of service operations in a cloud system are composed of complicated resource configuration settings and user behaviors, wherein operations of provision and account modules requires a flexible order design to be correctly performed. The present invention is to divide an order module into a three layers architecture. Upper and lower layers are respectively configured to be a cluster and a component order management for constructing order content related to user and component services. A flow control module in the middle is responsible for integrating a sequence corresponding relationship between the two layers. Accordingly, a designarchitecture with more flexibility can be provided to response to all kinds of customized requirements for cloud service.

Description

Order management system and method for multi-type service specifications

The invention relates to an integration mechanism between a product specification and an order structure, and uses various services provided in the resource environment as a basic component, and can quickly plan a diversified demand through the arrangement of the process sequence and the configuration of the supply parameters. The product package combination is a software design method that is very suitable for application in a cluster order system.

In recent years, with the development of cloud services, in order to meet the diversified needs of users, the self-service platform system has become mainstream. However, due to the establishment of virtualization services, there are rules and restrictions of its own resources and environment. The traditional shopping cart mechanism is not fully applicable. In view of this, many improved shopping cart mechanisms have emerged, but the main processing methods are to adopt the pre-filtering method to judge the products selected into the shopping cart through multi-level business logic. Whether it meets the limitations of the system (refer to the case of the Republic of China invention patent 201239794 "Online shopping cart processing system and method for product relevance judgment"), although this method can effectively ensure that the customer's purchase content will not be The follow-up process is awkward, but when faced with the diversified customization requirements of the cloud environment, it will not only make the logic judgment rules complicated and difficult to maintain, but also may lead to performance issues. The provision of products, the packaging of relevant rules logic, and the traditional shopping cart model, to complete the batch processing of subsequent purchases, will help provide a compromise to solve the above issues.

In view of this, there are also patents previously (the Republic of China invention patent M453204 "integration The model of product definition and operation items is designed. The design of the customized elastic structure for product specifications is mainly to design a higher level of specification according to the classification of attributes of various types of products, so as to reduce the new The degree of customization when adding products. Although this method can provide a relatively flexible data model, in fact, the construction steps of the cloud basic component service are diverse and complicated. In addition to the integration of the specification surface, the organization process of the component also needs to be coordinated, once the flexibility is lacking. Process architecture design, whenever a new integrated virtual environment is built, will face the challenge of customization and greatly increase the opportunities for heavy industry.

In view of the problems arising from the above-mentioned conventional methods, the inventors of the present invention have improved and innovated, and after years of painstaking research, they finally succeeded in research and development of the order management system and method that can cope with multiple types of service specifications.

In order to achieve the above objective, the order management system and method of the multi-type service specification of the present invention realizes the control of the association of the upper and lower orders through the configuration template of the intermediate layer flow control module, wherein the upper cluster order can be regarded as a kind The concept of product collection, such as AutoScaling, is a single service subscription behavior from the user's point of view, but actually covers the combination of virtual machine, network address, firewall and load balancing. And these The service corresponding to the underlying physical resource is the organization member of the lower component order. By designing the operation of the model, not only the user and resource oriented order information can be completely constructed, but also according to various special resource environments and service characteristics. Quickly complete the setting of the middle layer configuration template to achieve the goal of high system compatibility.

1 is a schematic diagram of a case of the present invention; FIG. 2 is an architectural diagram of an order management system for a plurality of types of service specifications according to the present invention; FIG. 3 is a sequential flow chart of an order management method for a plurality of types of service specifications according to the present invention; Order structure diagram.

Referring to FIG. 2, the order management system of the multi-type service specification of the present invention is mainly divided into three layers, and the uppermost clustered order module is responsible for collecting the order information of the cluster service 4, and the process control module is controlled by the process control engine 5 and the product. The parameter corresponding template 6 is composed of the template 7 corresponding to the supply parameter, and the processing program is driven by the flow control engine 5, and the execution status fed back by the synchronous message transmission mechanism 8 is used as the basis for the rule judgment to complete the underlying basis. Order information and association of component service 9 is established.

When providing a cloud service, you must first establish the structure of its product to produce a corresponding order. As shown in Figure 1, the basic automatic extension service needs to be composed of virtual machines, firewalls, and load balancing components. The system needs to generate at least four orders and establish associations, so as to fully present the actual situation, and the tasks involved in order generation and related parameters are all completed by the process control module of the middle layer.

The process control module in the design architecture is mainly divided into three parts. First, the process control Engine 5: mainly used to manage the order of execution of each component order, taking the component order layer in Figure 1 as an example, the order of creation is virtual machine (Element Servicel), firewall (Element Service2) and load balancing (Element Service3), also That is to say, when the virtual machine has not been correctly established, the subsequent components will not continue to be generated. Otherwise, if the last load balancing establishment is completed, it can indicate that the automatic expansion service applied by the customer has been completed. Second, the product parameters corresponding to the template 6: Responsible for the product specifications of the order parameters set, take Figure 1 environment 2 as an example, different resource environments may be combined with different component specifications (virtual machine VM), the function of this part is The corresponding product specification parameters are automatically brought in when the component order is generated, thereby completing the process of establishing the associated sub-sheet. Third, the supply parameters corresponding to the template 7: responsible for processing the configuration information of the various service components, can be automatically loaded into the installation process by the user input or the system intercepts the preset value, the firewall and load of the environment two Balanced services are the way to achieve a customized environment in this way.

Referring to FIG. 3, the sequential flow chart of the order management method for the multi-type service specification of the present invention takes the user's application for the integrated service as an example, and the program flow mainly goes through the following steps of the labeling process:

S10: After receiving the user rent information, the RESTful API calls the process control module for processing.

S11: After being judged by the flow process control engine, an internal order interface call is made for the component element a.

S12: The order processing program drives the service supply module according to the parameters of the supply parameter and the incoming configuration settings, and organizes relevant information.

S13: After the service installation module completes the application of component a, a status report is performed.

S14: The basic component order module returns the order establishment status of the component a to the process engine.

S15: After receiving the message that the component a is completed, the process control module starts the application behavior of the component b.

S16: After the basic component order module completes the product specification analysis of the component b and the configuration configuration, the assembly module interface is called again. S17: The service supply module completes the construction of the component b, and returns the status.

S18: The basic component order module returns the order establishment status of the component b to the process control engine.

S19: After the process control engine is completely completed, the user rents the result.

Figure 4 is the order structure diagram of the present invention: After completing the application of the integrated service, the complete database order structure will cover multiple basic component orders 20, 21, 22 and integrated service orders 23, through the basic component order 20 The foreign key field of 21, 22, and the primary key value of the integrated service order 23, can completely establish the correspondence between the two.

The order management system and method of the multi-type service specification of the invention has the following characteristics and effects when compared with other operation mechanisms:

1. When establishing a multi-layer master-slave order structure, the process control module template can be set to generate sub-orders and relevance in sequence, which can effectively reduce the frequency of the program using the recursive construction order level to greatly improve the performance.

2. Provide a more flexible approach to extend the composite components of cluster services to support both Cloud Platform (PAAS) and Infrastructure (IAAS) service order specifications.

3. The virtual environment and the basic components can be completely built. The billing information can be completely defined from top to bottom, which not only provides diversified billing services, but also can more accurately represent the cost of resources.

4. The completed component service order process can be reused in the construction process of various cluster services, which can effectively reduce the situation of heavy industry.

5. The online service that has been applied for can still be expanded or disengaged for the basic component service to which it belongs. This is different from the traditional batch-type retreat and will provide users with more flexible ways of changing. .
