Detailed ways

In order to make the purpose, technical solutions, and advantages of the present application clearer, the following further describes the present application in detail with reference to the drawings and embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative work fall within the protection scope of this application.

Related public cloud platforms generally provide physical hosting services for virtual network environments in two ways:

One is to deploy a set of independent physical host clusters to connect to the virtual private cloud (VPC, Virtual Private Cloud) of cloud hosts in the public cloud environment through a dedicated line or VPN (Virtual Private Network) to achieve network connectivity The physical host can communicate with the cloud host in the virtual network.

The other is to plan a virtual private cloud VPC with an independent physical host cluster, and treat the physical host as a cloud host computing node to manage the corresponding functions of the virtual network. Cloud hosting can be understood as virtual hosting.

Both of the above methods have defects:

The first method can ensure that all computing resources in the public cloud environment are reachable to each other, but the physical host cluster is not really in the virtual private cloud VPC, and many VPC features cannot be realized, such as binding elastic IP addresses and configuring security groups Wait. In the second method, although the physical host can have the characteristics of a virtual private cloud VPC, because it is a virtual private cloud independent of the cloud host, its network connectivity is limited.

In addition, physical hosts need to provide flexible, secure, and reliable public cloud services like cloud hosts, and they also need to interact with modules such as resource deployment, security protection, and monitoring services to form automated, convenient and configurable services for users.

In order to solve the defects in the above related technologies, embodiments of the present application provide a method, device, cloud platform, and readable storage medium for renting a physical host.

As shown in Fig. 1a, it is a schematic diagram of a physical host leasing system 1 provided by an embodiment of the present application. The physical host leasing system 1 includes a physical host 10, a cloud platform 20, a router 30, a switch 40, and a PDN gateway (PGW, PDN GateWay, PDN: Packet Data Network; packet data network gateway) 50. For example, in one case, the functions of the router 30 and the switch 40 can be realized through the same device, such as a TOR (Top of Rack, top of rack switch), and the specific device is not limited.

The physical host 10 communicates with the cloud platform 20, and the cloud platform 20 receives user operations.

The PDN gateway 50 is used to access the virtual private cloud VPC. The physical host 10 is connected to the PDN gateway 50 via the router 30 and the switch 40. The physical host 10 can be added to the virtual private cloud by setting the network of the router 30, the switch 40 and the PDN gateway 50 VPC.

As shown in FIG. 2, it is a schematic block diagram of the cloud platform 20 provided by an embodiment of the present application. The cloud platform 20 includes a rental device 210 of a physical host, a memory 220, a processor 230, and a communication unit 240.

The memory 220, the processor 230, and the communication unit 240 may be directly or indirectly electrically connected to each other to realize data transmission or interaction. The rental device 210 of the physical host includes at least one computer program or software function module that can be stored in the memory 220 in the form of software or firmware, and the processor 230 is used to execute the executable module stored in the memory 220 For example, the leasing device 210 of the physical host stored in the storage 220 can execute the leasing method of the physical host in the embodiment of the present invention. The communication unit 240 is used to establish a communication connection between the physical host 10 and the cloud platform 20 and other devices through the network, and is used to receive and send data through the network.

It should be understood that the cloud platform 20 may also include more or less components than those shown in FIG. 2, and may also have a completely different configuration from that shown in FIG. 2, which is not limited in this embodiment. The components shown in FIG. 2 can be implemented by software, hardware or a combination thereof. Correspondingly, the cloud platform 20 can also be implemented by hardware and/or software.

As shown in FIG. 3, it is a schematic flowchart of a method for renting a physical host that can be applied to the cloud platform 20 in FIG. 1a provided by an embodiment of the present application. The specific process and steps of the method are described in detail below.

Step S310: Receive the lease request of the user's physical host.

Referring to FIG. 4, in the embodiment of the present application, the method before step S310 further includes:

In step S309, the user is provided with information about the physical host that can be sold in the inventory.

Before the user selects the physical host 10 on the cloud platform 20, the user can query the information of the physical host 10 through the cloud platform 20, and obtain the physical host information that can be used for sale from the inventory, and the physical host information that can be used for sale It is displayed on the cloud platform 20 to facilitate the user to select physical hosts that can be sold to generate a lease request for the physical host.

In this embodiment, inventory refers to a database used to record the status of a physical host, where the status of the physical host 10 includes an unsellable status and a sellable status. Wherein, the inventory can be saved to the cloud platform 20, or can be saved by other cloud devices, and the cloud platform 20 obtains inventory information by accessing the cloud device.

Please refer to FIG. 4 again. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 4, after step S310, the method may further include:

Step S311: Freeze the physical host information available for sale in the inventory, and generate an order for the requested physical host.

When the physical host inventory is frozen, other users cannot conduct physical host transactions to prevent transaction conflicts. Optionally, the entire inventory may be frozen, or only the physical host 10 that needs to be paid in the inventory may be frozen.

In step S312, if it is detected that the user has completed the payment of the order, release and update the inventory of the physical host information that can be sold.

After completing the payment of the order, release and update the state information of the sellable physical host in the inventory after the payment.

Step S320: Acquire installed resources of the physical host and perform installation processing on the physical host based on the installed resources.

In the embodiment shown in FIG. 4, the selected physical host 10 can be automatically installed. The user can set the network status of the physical host 10 through the Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) on the cloud platform 20, so that the physical host 10 can obtain data (such as installed resources) through the network.

Taking the network as the operation and maintenance management network as an example, after the network startup status of the physical host 10 is set, the physical host 10 can send a DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) request to obtain from the operation and maintenance management network The IP address (Internet Protocol, Internet Protocol) address of the operation and maintenance management network, based on the IP address, obtains the installation configuration information from the operation and maintenance management network, and pulls the mirror data according to the installation configuration information to start the installation. During the installation process, the installation status of the physical host 10 needs to be monitored. Specifically, it is possible to determine whether the installation status of the physical host 10 is updated by monitoring the installation identification in the physical host 10. In an implementation manner, optionally, the installation completion status of the physical host 10 can be queried by polling. For example, the physical host 10 can be queried every preset time period whether the physical host 10 has completed the installation. If it is completed, stop the query. The preset time period can be set according to the actual situation, and the specific value is not limited. In the case that the installation of the physical host is completed by polling, step S330 is entered.

Step S330: After the installation process is completed, the physical host is added to the designated virtual private cloud VPC.

After adding a physical host to a designated VPC, users can use the resources of the physical host.

In an implementation manner, step S330 may be implemented through the following steps:

First, the binding relationship between the physical host 10 and the designated VPC is established.

Next, determine the switch configuration information corresponding to the physical host 10, and deliver the switch configuration information to the switch device corresponding to the physical host 10 in the VPC, so that the switch device performs network configuration based on the switch configuration information.

Finally, the physical host 10 is restarted, so that the restarted physical host 10 can obtain the private IP address of the designated VPC through the switch device after the network configuration. The physical host 10 can join the VPC after acquiring the private IP address of the VPC.

For example, the switch device may include a PDN gateway and a top of rack switch TOR (Top of Rack), and the TOR may correspond to the router 30 and the switch 40 in FIG. 1a. The configuration information of TOR includes physical interfaces, tunnels and virtual routers. The configuration information of the PDN gateway includes DHCP configuration information and VPC configuration information. The DHCP configuration information is used to obtain the private IP address of the VPC. The VPC configuration information is similar to the TOR configuration information. Before adding the physical host 10 to the virtual private cloud VPC, it is necessary to configure the access network devices that access the virtual private cloud VPC, that is, configure the TOR and the PDN gateway. The specific configuration can be as follows:

The administrator can input data related to TOR and the physical host 10 in the background to complete the registration of the resources of the physical host 10 on the cloud platform.

Incoming parameters:

#1TOR management ip/Uplink switch management IP address, used to automatically configure and check TOR/;

#2TOR datapath ip/Uplink switch data communication IP address, mainly for communication with other TOR and PGW/;

#3TOR index range (subscript range)/The range of the port identification number of the uplink switch, the identification number range will be different for different device models/;

#4enabled(0or 1)/ is used to identify whether you have joined the virtual private cloud VPC, 1 means joining, 0 means not joining/.

Register the physical host on TOR

Incoming parameters:

#1TOR mgt ip/Uplink switch management IP address, used to automatically configure and check TOR/;

#2TOR index number (one-to-one relationship with #3Downlink Physical host MAC)/The port identification number of the uplink switch, the identification id description of different types of equipment is different, and is limited to the value of the index range of the equipment/;

#3TOR Downlink Physical host MAC (one-to-one relationship with #2index number)/MAC address of the physical host/

After the cloud platform administrator is initialized, the computing resources of the registered physical host 10 can be leased and used normally. The user's use of the physical host 10 is similar to the user's use of the virtual host. The user selects the VPC created by himself in the cloud platform 20 to create a physical host 10 and configure network resources. When registering the physical host 10, the user can register the physical host through the aforementioned incoming parameters.

For example, the following network configuration can be performed on the TOR and PDN gateways to provide services after high-performance physical hosts are connected.

Configure TOR for physical interfaces, connection tunnels, virtual routers, etc. The configuration of DHCP and virtual private cloud VPC for the PDN gateway is similar to the configuration of the TOR for the VPC configuration of the PDN gateway. After the uplink interface corresponding to the physical machine's network card is added to the virtual router, the communication between the uplink interface and the PDN gateway is established through the tunnel established in the virtual router, and the physical host obtains the private cloud of the virtual private cloud VPC through the DHCP Client (client). After the IP address, you can communicate with the virtual host area, the Internet, and the user's private cloud, and you can use services such as load balancing, object and file storage.

Generally speaking, referring to Figure 1b, a VPC usually includes: a router, at least one private network segment, and at least one switch (switch 1, switch 2, ... switch N, N represents a positive integer), the router and each switch To connect, the switch can be connected to ECS (Elastic Compute Service, cloud server), or RDS (Relational Database Service, relational database), or other cloud resources, or can also be connected to a local network. In Figure 1b, the connection between the switch and ECS, RDS, other cloud resources, and the local network is only an example and does not constitute a limitation.

In the above example, the physical host is connected to the TOR, the TOR is connected to the PDN gateway, the PDN gateway is connected to the VPC, and the PDN gateway can be connected to the switch in the VPC. Through the above configured tunnel, the physical host can communicate with ECS, RDS, other cloud resources, local network, etc. A physical host can be added to multiple VPCs. Fig. 1b only shows one VPC, and Fig. 1b is only an exemplary description and does not constitute a limitation.

Optionally, when configuring the PDN gateway, the resources listed in PGW assets (resources) are listed in neutron vpc (neutron is the core component of OpenStack to provide network services, OpenStack is an open source cloud computing management platform project, a series of The combination of software open source projects) can be correlated in related implementations, and the physical host 10 is treated as a virtual host without adding an additional database table (DB table).

When configuring TOR, you can add three tables, such as KscTor, KscTortunnel, and KscPhyHost to ensure data persistence. Ksc means product identifier, Tor means top-of-rack switch, Tortunnel means top-of-rack switch tunnel, and PhyHost means physical host The names of these three tables are just examples and do not constitute a limitation.

When configuring the interface, the cloud platform administrator can create (create), delete (delete) and configure (get) the physical host through the following functional interfaces.

Create_ksctors, delete_ksctors, get_ksctors

The parameters carried in the call to create_ksctor are as described above (register TOR).

Create_phyhosts/delete/get

The parameters that need to be passed in to call create_phyhosts are as described in the above instructions (register Physical Host).

Operations such as creation, deletion, and configuration of the physical host 10 in the virtual network are similar to those of the original virtual host, and the user has no perception.

In this embodiment, the method may further include the step of recycling the physical host 10. Specifically, the step of recycling the physical host 10 may include:

In the case where the user deletes the physical host 10, the deleted physical host 10 is reclaimed; or when the lease term of the physical host 10 expires and the user does not renew the fee, the physical host 10 is reclaimed .

In an implementation manner, the cloud platform may apply for an elastic public network IP address for the physical host, and bind the applied elastic public network IP address with the physical host, so that the physical host can access the public network.

The following takes the process of leasing a specific physical host as an example for description. The leasing process includes a process of creating a physical host and a process of performing network configuration on the created physical host.

First of all, please refer to Figure 5. Figure 5 shows a flow chart of the physical host creation process. The interactive subjects in Figure 5 include: console, physical host OpenAPI (API: Application Programming Interface), Inventory system, order system, transaction payment, physical host IPMI (Intelligent Platform Management Interface) API (application programming interface) and binding resources. The bound resource can be EIP (Enterprise Information Portal, Enterprise Information Portal), or it can be other, and the specifics are not limited. Each interaction subject in FIG. 5 may be a functional module provided by the cloud platform 20, and these functional modules may be distributed in different servers and executed by different servers. The process of creating a physical host is as follows: the user queries the inventory system for the information of the available physical host through the console, and the inventory system feeds back the information of the available physical host that can be found to the console; then, the user submits the creation physical host information through the console to query And freeze the sellable physical host information in the inventory system; then, after the user chooses to sell the physical host 10, the physical host request is sent to the order system through the physical host OpenAPI, and the order system sends the order payment request to the transaction payment system, and the transaction payment The system returns an order payment success response, indicating that the transaction is completed. The order system returns the order information of the physical host that was successfully paid. The inventory system releases and updates the inventory information; then, through the physical host OpenAPI, request the physical host IPMI API to open the physical host 10, the physical host IPMI After the API is successfully activated, it returns a response to successfully activate the physical host 10, and then requests physical host resource binding from the bound resource through the physical host OpenAPI. After returning the resource binding response, the physical host OpenAPI returns the physical host resource information to the console. .

Please refer to FIG. 6, which shows the process of network configuration of the physical host 10. The interactive subjects in Figure 6 include: console, physical host OpenAPI (Open Application Programming Interface, API: Application Programming Interface), automated installation Server (server), IPMI/physical host, VPC API, EIP, and other cloud products. After obtaining the resource information of the physical host 10, submit the information for creating the physical host 10 through the console to request the installation of the physical host 10 from the automated installation server, request the VPC binding of the physical host 10 from the VPC API, and request the EIP for the physical host 10 EIP binding, or request other resources from other cloud products, and feedback the resource information of physical hosts fed back by VPC API, EIP and other cloud products to the console; resource installation IPMI/physical host is performed during the process of starting physical host 10 Initialize RAID (Redundant Arrays of Independent Disks), LOAD Image (load icon, or cursor, or bitmap), system installation, and finally feedback the installation status of physical host 10 to the console, and update the display of the physical host on the console 10 status.

Please refer to Figure 7. Figure 7 shows the large-scale deployment of the cloud platform in this embodiment. The interactive entities in Figure 7 include: open platform (open API), operation and maintenance management network (DHCP&SFTP, DHCP: Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) , Dynamic host configuration protocol; SFTP: SSH File Transfer Protocol, SSH file transfer protocol, SSH: Secure Shell, secure shell protocol), scheduler (scheduler), intelligent platform management interface (IPMI) API, physical host, internal API (inner -API), Status Manager (Status Manager), Virtual Private Cloud (VPC), Software Defined Network/Top of Rack Switch/PDN Gateway (SDN/TOR/PGW; SDN: Software Defined Network, Software Defined Network).

(1) in Figure 7 means: the open platform (open API) receives the creation request and obtains an available physical host from the scheduler (scheduler); (2) means: the open platform uses the Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) API Set the physical host as network startup; (3) means: the physical host initiates a DHCP request to obtain the operation and maintenance management network IP address; (4) means: the physical host obtains the physical host's installed configuration information from the internal API (inner-API); (5) Means: the physical host obtains the mirror data from the operation and maintenance management network and starts installation; (6) Means: updates the installation status of the physical host during the installation process; (7) Means: polls the installation status of the physical host, if the installation is marked When finished, call the relevant interface of the VPC to join the VPC network; (8) means: send switch configuration information; (9) means that the physical host gets the VPC private IP address through the switch after restarting; (10) means: update the final physical host 10 status.

The flow in this deployment situation is described below.

First, the open platform (open API) receives the creation request, obtains an available physical host 10 from the scheduler (scheduler), and the open platform sets the network startup status of the physical host 10 through the intelligent platform management interface (IPMI); Next, the physical host 10 initiates a DHCP request to obtain an IP address from the operation and maintenance management network, and the physical host 10 obtains the installation configuration information of the physical host 10 from an internal API (inner-api). The physical host 10 obtains the mirrored data from the operation and maintenance management network and starts the installation; then, during the installation process, the installation status of the physical host 10 is updated. If the installation status of the physical host 10 is updated, the relevant interface of the VPC is called to join the VPC Network; Finally, the virtual network delivers the configuration information of the switch to the physical host 10. After the physical host 10 restarts, the VPC private IP address is obtained through the switch, and the final state of the physical host 10 is updated.

In the above method, the physical host 10 can access the virtual network environment, and can perform the same virtual network configuration and function joint management with the cloud host, including functions such as elastic IP address, virtual gateway, and security group. In addition, higher network performance is provided between the physical host 10 and the virtual host.

It can be seen that compared with the related technical defects in the above content: 1. The physical host cluster is not really in the virtual private cloud VPC, and many VPC features cannot be realized; 2. Although the physical host can have the characteristics of the virtual private cloud VPC, but Because it is a virtual private cloud independent of the cloud host, its network connectivity has limitations. Applying the embodiment shown in this application, 1. The physical host obtains the private IP address of the VPC, the physical host connects to the TOR, the TOR connects to the PDN gateway, and the PDN gateway connects to the VPC. This realizes that the physical host actually joins the VPC and can realize VPC Features; 2. The physical host has joined the VPC. The VPC includes the physical host and the cloud host. The physical host is not independent of the cloud host and has better network connectivity.

The embodiment of the present application also provides a rental device of a physical host, and the rental device of the physical host is a virtual device corresponding to the foregoing method. It is understandable that the specific functions of each functional module involved in the rental device of the physical host to be described below have been described in detail in the corresponding steps of the above embodiment, and the detailed content of each specific functional module can refer to the above embodiment.
