Detailed Description
In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described through embodiments with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are some, but not all, embodiments of the present invention. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention. In the following embodiments, optional features and examples are provided in each embodiment, and various features described in the embodiments may be combined to form a plurality of alternatives, and each numbered embodiment should not be regarded as only one technical solution.
Example one
Fig. 1 is a flowchart of a cloud resource charging method according to an embodiment of the present invention, which is applicable to a situation in which a cloud resource provider charges cloud resources used by cloud resource users, specifically a situation in which a cloud resource service item charged according to a long usage amount is charged. The method can be executed by the cloud resource charging device provided by the embodiment of the invention, and the cloud resource charging device can be configured in the electronic equipment provided by the embodiment of the invention.
Referring to fig. 1, the cloud resource charging method specifically includes the following steps:
and S110, receiving a charging instruction, and determining service items deployed by a cloud resource user, charging time periods of the service items and initial unit prices according to the charging instruction, wherein the service items are service items charged according to usage.
The electronic device implementing the cloud resource charging method provided by the embodiment of the invention can be, for example, a server of a cloud resource provider. The charging instruction received by the server may be a charging instruction triggered by the server per se according to a charging period, or may be a charging instruction sent by a cloud resource user. The charging period may be day, month, quarter or year, and the value of the specific day, month, quarter or year may be preset by the server of the cloud resource provider according to the actual application scenario. The service items deployed by the cloud resource user are cloud resource service items which are applied by the cloud resource user to the cloud resource provider and are charged according to the usage amount, and may include computing resources, storage resources, network resources, various software services, and the like. The charging time interval of the service item is a time interval in which charges are generated in the use process after the service item is configured, namely an effective charging time interval, namely, if no charges are generated in the use process after the service item is configured, the use time interval is not used as the charging time interval. The initial unit prices of the different service items can be different or the same, and the initial unit prices of the service items can be preset by a server of a cloud resource provider according to an actual application scene and can be stored in a preset space.
When receiving a charging instruction triggered by the server per se according to a charging cycle, the server of the cloud resource provider can sequentially query service items which are deployed by each cloud resource user and are charged according to the usage amount according to the charging instruction, determine a charging period of the service items deployed by each cloud resource user, and obtain an initial unit price of the service items deployed by each cloud resource user, which is set in advance, from a preset storage space. When receiving a charging instruction sent by a certain cloud resource user, a server of a cloud resource provider can query service items which are deployed by the cloud resource user and are charged according to the usage amount according to the charging instruction, determine a charging period of the service items deployed by the cloud resource user, and obtain an initial unit price of the service items deployed by the cloud resource user, which is set in advance, from a preset storage space.
Optionally, determining a charging period of the service item deployed by the cloud resource user according to the charging instruction includes: acquiring a first time period carried in a charging instruction, a deployment time period of a service item deployed by a cloud resource user and a price configuration time period of the service item; and solving the intersection of the first time interval, the deployment time interval and the price configuration time interval to obtain the charging time interval of the service item.
When the charging instruction received by the server is a charging instruction triggered by the server according to the charging period, the first period can be the charging period to be charged currently; when the charging instruction received by the server is a charging instruction sent by a certain cloud resource user, the first time period may be a time period defined by the cloud resource user, for example, a time period from n month m days to n +1 month m days. The deployment time period of the cloud resource user deployment server is a time period from a deployment starting time point to a deployment ending time point, and if the deployment ending time point is not available when the cloud resource cost is determined, the time point from the deployment starting time point to the current charging time point can be used as the deployment time period. The price configuration time period of the service item is a time period from a configuration price starting time point to a configuration price ending time point, and if the configuration price ending time point is not available when the cloud resource cost is determined, the time point from the configuration price starting time point to the current charging time can be used as the price configuration time period. It can be understood that the tariff of the service item is 0 before the configuration price starting time point and after the configuration price ending time point; and in the time period from the configuration price starting time point to the configuration price ending time point, the charge of the service item is not 0.
When receiving a charging instruction triggered by the server according to the charging cycle, the server of the cloud resource provider can obtain an intersection of the charging cycle to be charged currently, the deployment time period of the service item deployed by each cloud resource user and the price configuration time period, so as to obtain the charging time period of each cloud resource user. When receiving a charging instruction sent by a certain cloud resource user, a server of a cloud resource provider can obtain an intersection of a self-defined first time period carried in the charging instruction, a deployment time period of a service item deployed by the cloud resource user and a price configuration time period, so as to obtain the charging time period of the cloud resource user.
Illustratively, when the charging instruction received by the server of the cloud resource provider is a charging instruction triggered by a charging period, and the charging cycle to be charged at present is (2019-09-01, 2019-09-30), the deployment time period of the service item deployed by a certain cloud resource user is (2019-09-14, max), the service item price configuration time period is (2019-01-01, max), the intersection of (2019-09-01, 2019-09-30), (2019-09-14, 2019-09-30) and (2019-01-01, 2019-09-30) can be taken to obtain (2019-09-14, 2019-09-30), and the time period (2019-09-14, 2019-09-30) is used as the charging time period of the service item deployed by the cloud resource user.
S120, determining at least one discount coefficient of the service item in the charging period according to the deployment duration of the service item, and dividing the charging period into at least one first sub-period according to the discount coefficient.
The discount coefficient is negatively correlated with the deployment time of the service item, that is, the longer the deployment time of the service item is, the smaller the discount coefficient can be. In the charging process of the cloud resource service item, under the condition that other calculation factors are the same, the smaller the discount coefficient is, the less the charging is. The discount coefficient and the deployment duration of the service item may be in a piecewise descending relationship, for example, the deployment duration of the service item is within one year, and the discount coefficient may be 1; the deployment duration of the service items is within one year to two years, and the discount coefficient can be 0.75; the deployment duration of the service items is within two to three years, and the discount coefficient can be 0.5; when the service item is deployed for more than three years, the discount coefficient may be 0.35. The deployment duration may be a natural year duration, or may also be an effective use duration of the service item, where a time when the service item generates a use amount may be used as the effective use duration, and is not specifically limited herein. By setting different discount coefficients, different charging strategies can be adopted for cloud resource users with different service item deployment durations, and flexibility of charging modes is improved.
The service item may correspond to one or more discount coefficients in the charging period, and when one discount coefficient corresponds, the charging period is the first sub-period, and when a plurality of discount coefficients correspond, the charging period is divided into a plurality of first sub-periods according to the discount coefficients. Illustratively, when the charging period is (2019-09-01, 2019-09-30), the discount coefficient of the service item corresponding to (2019-09-01, 2019-09-15) is 1, and the discount coefficient corresponding to (2019-09-15, 2019-09-30) is 0.75, the charging period (2019-09-01, 2019-09-30) can be divided into two first sub-periods, namely (2019-09-01, 2019-09-15) and (2019-09-15, 2019-09-30) according to the discount coefficients.
Optionally, determining at least one discount coefficient of the service item in the charging period according to the deployment duration of the service item, and dividing the charging period into at least one first sub-period according to the discount coefficient, including: taking the duration from the deployment starting time of the service item to each preset time point in the charging period as the deployment duration of each preset time point; determining a discount coefficient of each preset time point based on the deployment duration-discount corresponding relation of the preset service items; and taking the time period formed by the time points of the same discount coefficient as a first sub-time period to obtain at least one first sub-time period.
And (4) the deployment starting time of the service item is the time length of each preset time point in the charging period, namely the deployment time length is the natural year time length. Each preset time point in the charging period may be a time point selected at intervals of a first preset period from a starting time point of the charging period, where the first preset period is not greater than the charging period, for example, when the charging period is 1 month, the first preset period may be 1 day. After determining the deployment start time of the service item to the duration of each preset time point in the charging period, the server can determine the discount coefficient corresponding to each duration by inquiring the deployment duration-discount corresponding relation of the preset service item, and can take the period formed by the time points with the same discount coefficient as a first sub-period to obtain at least one first sub-period. The first preset period may be understood as a minimum duration unit for changing the discount coefficient in the deployment duration-discount correspondence, that is, a minimum variation of the charging period.
Illustratively, when the charging period is (2019-09-01, 2019-09-30), the first preset period is 1 day, the deployment start time of the service item is 2018-09-15, and the deployment duration of the service item is within one year, the discount coefficient may be 1; when the service item is deployed for a period of time within one to two years, and the discount coefficient may be 0.75, the server determines at least one first sub-period as follows:
the server determines the duration of each day and the deployment starting time 2018-09-15 of the service item in (2019-09-01, 2019-09-30), and obtains that the discount coefficients corresponding to the deployment duration of each day in 2019-09-01 to 2019-09-15 are all 1, and the discount coefficients corresponding to the deployment duration of each day in 2019-09-15 to 2019-09-30 are all 0.75, so that the charging period (2019-09-01, 2019-09-30) can be divided into two first sub-periods, namely (2019-09-01, 2019-09-15) and (2019-09-15, 2019-09-30), according to the discount coefficients.
S130, based on the time-sharing charging rule of the service item, dividing each first sub-period into at least two types of second sub-periods, and determining the period coefficient and the usage amount of each type of second sub-period in each first sub-period.
The time-sharing charging rule of the service item may be a charging rule that repeats every second preset period, where the second preset period is not greater than each first sub-period, and may be equal to the first preset period, for example. The charging rule may be that the time period in each second preset period is divided into at least two types of second sub-time periods, and different time period coefficients are set for the different types of second sub-time periods. Therefore, different fees can be charged for different time periods, for example, the service item can be used in a peak time period, the time period coefficient is higher, the service item can be used in an idle time period, and the time period coefficient is lower, so that the use amount of the service item in the peak time period is weakened, namely the normal operation of the server is ensured, a strategy for reducing the cost is provided for a cloud resource user, and the service experience of the service item can be ensured.
For example, when the second preset period is 1 day, the charging rule may be preset to include a second sub-period of two types of a busy period and an idle period each day, the busy period may be, for example, eight morning hours to eight evening hours each day, the idle period may be, for example, early morning to eight morning hours and eight evening to early morning hours, and a period coefficient of the busy period may be set to 0.8, and a period coefficient of the idle period may be set to 0.2. The duration of the second preset period, the number of the division types of the second preset period, the time period range of each type and the time period coefficient can be preset according to the actual application scene.
S140, determining the cost of the service item charged according to the usage amount according to the initial unit price of the service item, the discount coefficient of at least one first sub-period, and the period coefficient and the usage amount of various second sub-periods in each first sub-period.
The server can calculate the corresponding cost of each second sub-time period in each first sub-time period, and then sum the cost to obtain the cost of the service items according to the usage amount.
Optionally, determining the cost of the service item charged by the usage amount according to the initial unit price of the service item, the discount coefficient of at least one first sub-period, and the period coefficient and the usage amount of each type of second sub-period in each first sub-period, includes: sequentially selecting a current first sub-time period from at least one first sub-time period; aiming at various second sub-periods in the current first sub-period, the product of the initial unit price of the service item, the discount coefficient of the current first sub-period, the period coefficient of various second sub-periods and the usage amount is obtained and used as the first cost corresponding to various second sub-periods in the current first sub-period; summing first fees corresponding to various second sub-periods in the current first sub-period to obtain second fees corresponding to the current first sub-period; and when the second cost of at least one first sub-period is determined, summing the second costs to obtain the cost of the service item charged according to the usage amount.
The first sub-period is selected in sequence, for example, according to the time sequence. After the current first sub-period is selected, the costs of various second sub-periods can be calculated and summed respectively to obtain the cost of the current first sub-period. The formula for calculating the cost of the current first sub-period may be:
AC＝P0*DR*(w1*AU1+w2*AU2+...+wm*AUm)，
where AC represents the cost of the current first sub-period, P0 represents the initial unit price of the service item, DR represents the discount coefficient of the current first sub-period, w1、w2...wmTime interval coefficients, AU, representing second sub-intervals of the first to m-th classes, respectively1、AU2...AUmRespectively represent the usage amounts of the first class to the mth class for the second period.
After the cost of each first sub-period is obtained, the first sub-periods are summed, and the interface obtains the cost of the service items according to the usage amount.
Illustratively, suppose that the cost of the I/O throughput needs to be calculated, wherein the initial unit price of the I/O throughput is 10 yuan/million, the charging period is equal to the first sub-period (2019-09-01, 2019-09-30), and the discount coefficient is 0.75; the charging rule includes a busy period (eight morning hours to eight evening hours) and an idle period (morning hours to eight morning hours and eight evening hours to morning hours) each day, and the period coefficient of the busy period is 0.8, and the period coefficient of the idle period is 0.2. In this case, the cost of the I/O throughput can be found as follows:
the server divides the (2019-09-01, 2019-09-30) time period into at least two types of second sub-time periods according to the charging rule, namely divides the eight morning hours to the eight evening hours of each day in the (2019-09-01, 2019-09-30) time period into a first type of second sub-time period (namely a busy time period), and divides the morning hours to the eight morning hours and the eight evening hours to the early morning hours of each day in the (2019-09-01, 2019-09-30) time period into a second type of second sub-time period (namely an idle time period). The server respectively counts the usage amount of the first-type second sub-period and the second-type second sub-period to be 900 million and 100 million, and the cost of the I/O throughput in the (2019-09-01, 2019-09-30) period is as follows: 10 × 0.75 ═ 0.8 × 900+0.2 × 100 ═ 5550.
Optionally, the service item deployed by the cloud resource user is at least one service item. When the service item is one item, the cost of the service item can be calculated according to the method, namely the cost of the cloud resource service item; when the service items are more than two, the cost of each item can be calculated according to the method, and then the total cost of the cloud resource service items can be obtained by summing the cost of each item.
Optionally, when the charging instruction is a charging instruction sent by a cloud resource user, after determining the cost of the cloud resource user, the method further includes: and feeding back the cost to the cloud resource user. When the charging instruction is sent by the cloud resource user, the first time period carried in the charging instruction is a user-defined time period. After the charging time interval in the user-defined time interval is obtained, the cost of at least one service item in the charging time interval can be determined. After determining the service item cost of the cloud resource user in the custom period, the server can feed back the service item cost to the cloud resource user, so that the cloud resource user can conveniently count the service item cost condition in the custom period, and the cloud resource user can conveniently and reasonably plan the resource use cost.
Optionally, the cloud resource charging method further includes: determining service items which are deployed by a cloud resource user and are charged according to the charging instruction, the charging time period of the service items which are charged according to times, and the using times of the service items which are charged according to times in the charging time period; obtaining a third fee according to the initial unit price and the using times of the service items charged according to times; accordingly, the sum of the third fee and the fee of the service item charged by the usage amount is used as the fee of the cloud resource using party.
When the service item also comprises a service item charged according to times, the first time period carried in the charging instruction and the price configuration time period of the service item can be obtained, the intersection of the first time period and the price configuration time period can be used as the charging time period of the service item charged according to times, and the using times in the charging time period can be counted; multiplying the initial unit price of the service items charged by times by the using times to obtain the charge charged by times, namely a third charge; correspondingly, the fee charged by time and the fee of the service items charged by the usage amount are summed, and the fee of the cloud resource user can be obtained. The charging requirement of the service items charged according to the usage amount and the usage times is realized.
In addition, a discount coefficient of the pay-per-use service item may be set, and the discount coefficient may be inversely related to the historical number of uses and/or the historical use fee. Accordingly, the third fee may be obtained according to the discount coefficient of the pay-per-view service item, the initial unit price and the number of times of use of the pay-per-view service item. By setting different discount coefficients, different charging strategies can be adopted for cloud resource users with different service item use times or use fees, and the flexibility of the charging mode is improved.
In the cloud resource charging method provided by this embodiment, for the service items charged by the usage amount, the server of the cloud resource provider may determine the service items deployed by the cloud resource user, the charging period of the service items, and the initial unit price according to the received charging instruction; determining at least one discount coefficient of the service item in the charging period according to the deployment duration of the service item, and dividing the charging period into at least one first sub-period according to the discount coefficient; dividing each first sub-period into at least two types of second sub-periods based on the time-sharing charging rule of the service item, and determining the period coefficient and the usage amount of each type of second sub-period in each first sub-period; and determining the cost of the service item charged according to the usage amount according to the initial unit price of the service item, the discount coefficient of at least one first sub-period, and the period coefficient and the usage amount of various second sub-periods in each first sub-period.
The discount coefficient is determined according to the service item deployment time length of the cloud resource user, the time period coefficient of various time periods is determined according to the time-sharing charging rule of the service items, the initial unit price, the discount coefficient, the time period coefficient and the usage amount of the service items are integrated, and the cost of the service items charged according to the usage amount is obtained, so that the service items with different deployment time lengths and/or the usage amounts of the service items in different time periods can be charged in a differentiated mode, the charging mode is enriched, and the flexibility of cloud resource charging is improved.
