Detailed Description

In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more apparent, the present invention will be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

Fig. 1 is a schematic flow diagram of an automated deployment method according to an embodiment of the present invention, and as shown in fig. 1, the automated deployment method implemented in this embodiment mainly includes:

step 101, a deployment server obtains system environment information of each device to be deployed.

The method comprises the following steps of acquiring system environment information from each device to be deployed so as to create an automatic deployment task based on the system environment information of each device to be deployed in the subsequent steps.

Specifically, the device to be deployed may be a virtual machine or an entity device.

In practical applications, the deployment server may obtain system environment information (including network addresses, ports, hardware, software system environment information, and the like of the devices) of the devices to be deployed through an auto discovery mechanism.

102, receiving an installation configuration command of a user, determining an installation configuration module required to be used for current deployment according to the installation configuration command, displaying a corresponding configuration template, and generating a configuration file of the installation configuration module according to configuration parameters input by the user in the configuration template.

In this step, the user may specify the installation configuration module that needs to be used for the current deployment by using the installation configuration command (specifically, the installation configuration module may be input through a web interface), so that the deployment server may learn the installation configuration module that needs to be used for the current deployment based on the installation configuration command input by the user, and may generate a corresponding configuration file for each installation configuration module based on the parameters input by the user, so as to create an automated deployment task based on the configuration files in the subsequent steps.

Here, the installation configuration modules and the configuration templates corresponding to each installation configuration module may be set by those skilled in the art according to the deployment requirement of the actual application scenario, and may be stored in a preset configuration management library. The configuration template includes information such as initialization version and configuration parameters. The user can select the installation configuration module to be used through the web interface. The configuration template can be used for generating the configuration file in a standardized way, so that the accuracy and the efficiency of generating the configuration file can be improved, and the overall deployment efficiency and the success rate of the service application can be further improved.

In an embodiment, the installation configuration module may specifically include three major types, namely a service type, a platform type, and an infrastructure type.

Wherein, the service type comprises: the integrated virtual network (IVPN), the decline incoming call, the telecommunication anti-fraud (IMSFZ), the co-vibration and other business modules;

the platform types include: a service control point (SCF), a Service Management Point (SMP), a signaling acquisition module and the like;

the infrastructure module comprises: MYSQL, INFORMIX, NGINX, REDIS, DOCKER and other database middleware modules.

The installation configuration module is only used for illustration and is not limited in practical application.

In this step, the template and the parameters input by the user in the template are combined to obtain the corresponding configuration file.

103, according to the configuration files of all the installation configuration modules and the system environment information, creating an automatic deployment task by using a preset deployment tool, and generating a corresponding simulation deployment script and a corresponding actual deployment script.

In this step, an automated deployment task may be created by using an existing deployment tool, and specifically, an anchor automated operation and maintenance tool may be used to create a task, but is not limited thereto.

In this step, two sets of scripts, namely a simulated deployment script and an actual deployment script, need to be generated based on the automated deployment task, where the simulated deployment script is used to screen out effective devices that can be deployed, so as to improve the effectiveness of deployment.

The specific method for generating the script based on the automated deployment task is known to those skilled in the art, and is not described herein again.

And 104, selecting effective deployment equipment from the equipment to be deployed by adopting a simulated deployment mode based on the connectivity of the equipment to be deployed and the deployment server and the simulated deployment script.

In order to ensure the effectiveness of actual deployment in this step, it is necessary to select an effective deployment device by executing a simulation deployment script before actual deployment.

In an embodiment, the following method may be specifically adopted to select an effective deployment device from the devices to be deployed:

step 1041, for each of the devices to be deployed, testing whether the deployment server is connected to the device to be deployed.

Here, considering that the actual execution time span from step 101 to step 104 is large, during which the connectivity state between the deployment server and each device to be deployed may change, for this reason, it is necessary to determine the connectivity between the deployment server and each device to be deployed before executing the simulated deployment script, so as to ensure the effectiveness of deployment.

Step 1042, for each device to be deployed communicated with the deployment server, simulating deployment of corresponding application software for the device to be deployed in the deployment server by using the simulated deployment script.

By utilizing the steps, the equipment which can not deploy the corresponding service and is caused by the reasons of mismatching of the system environment and the deployment task configuration requirement and the like can be screened out.

Step 1043, regarding the device to be deployed successfully deployed in the simulation as the effective deployment device.

And 105, executing the actual deployment script, and deploying the corresponding application software to the effective deployment equipment.

In one embodiment, in order to facilitate a user to grasp a deployment situation and process an abnormal situation at any time, the user may obtain a current deployment situation and an abnormal situation through a deployment query instruction on a web interface, which is specifically as follows:

In one embodiment, after the execution of the actual deployment script is finished, the following steps may be adopted to test the connectivity and stability of the service call after the application software is integrally deployed:

step x1, after the actual deployment script is executed, the deployment server triggers the effective deployment device to modify the link address of the application software into the address of the preset test environment.

In particular, the link address includes a database address and a call link address.

And step x2, the effective deployment equipment simulates and executes a call flow according to the modified link address, and determines whether the service system of the application software in the effective deployment equipment is available according to a simulation execution result.

Based on the scheme, the embodiment of the method can effectively reduce the labor cost, the time cost, the deployment accuracy and the success rate. The above technical effects are further described with reference to the implementation of the above embodiments in a specific application scenario.

Taking the cloud project of the declining incoming call equipment of a telecommunication intelligent network as an example, the project host computer is distributed over seven large areas, and the number of the virtual machines is up to 2000, and the implementation period can be reduced from the original 2 months to 2 weeks by the deployment based on the method embodiment, thereby greatly improving the efficiency.

In the planning stage, the number of virtual machines, network planning, and the IP addresses and ports of network elements of a core network need to be determined, 2000 virtual machines (configured with 4core CPUs, 8G memories, and 100G hard disks) are used in the project, and deployment can be started after the virtual machines are allocated in the IAAS layer.
