With the development of cloud computing technology, infrastructure as a service (IaaS) services have gradually matured in business models and technologies. In IaaS services, cloud service providers provide users with virtual infrastructure services such as computing resources, storage resources, and network resources. Through cloud services, users can obtain freely scalable cloud resources with almost unlimited resources, and users can pay for usage after the resources are used.

The Cloud Infrastructure Management Interface (CIMI) interface defined by the Distributed Management Task Force (DMTF) is an Open Standard Application Programming Interface (API). Manage the cloud infrastructure. CIMI's goal is to help users manage their cloud infrastructure in a common, simple way, enabling interoperable cloud infrastructure management between cloud service providers and consumers and developers through standardized interactions in the cloud environment. CIMI version 1.1 has been accepted by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and has become an international standard.

FIG. 1 is a network architecture of a cloud service provider of a CIMI model in the related art. Among them, 101 cloud service consumers and 102 cloud service providers A and 103 cloud service providers B respectively interact with the management and instructions of the cloud service through the CIMI interface. 102 cloud service provider A may include a cloud manager responsible for managing and allocating various resources, and interacting with the cloud service consumer through the CIMI interface to obtain consumer requirements and return corresponding results, wherein the cloud manager can manage the service.
