Referring to fig. 2, a trial method of a cloud service provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure is described. The method comprises steps S202-208.
The method may be implemented by the cloud service platform 101 in fig. 1. It should be noted that the method may be implemented by an API gateway corresponding to the cloud service, may also be implemented by the API gateway and a service operation background together, and may also be implemented by a service console and a service operation background together.
S202, acquiring a trial threshold and a trial type of the cloud service by the user, wherein the trial threshold is the free calling times of the user to the API of the cloud service.
In this embodiment, the cloud service platform may provide trial services of a plurality of cloud service products to the user. The trial services of different cloud service products are provided with corresponding trial threshold values. A trial threshold value is set for each cloud service, so that the user can be guided to trial and experience a plurality of functions of the cloud service. The trial threshold may be used to define an amount or number of times that the user uses the cloud service product free of charge. The trial threshold may be, for example, a free number of calls made by the user to an API of the cloud service. That is to say, when the user uses the trial service provided by the cloud service platform, if the number of times of calling the API of the cloud service by the user reaches the trial threshold of the cloud service, the trial service is stopped.
In this embodiment, the cloud service platform may further set a trial threshold according to historical trial data of the cloud service. For example, the cloud service platform can set a trial threshold for a customer in a certain industry according to historical trial data of the cloud service for the trial of the customer in the industry, so that the setting of the trial threshold is more reasonable, actual requirements of the user are better met, and trial experience of the user is improved.
In this embodiment, the trial service of each cloud service product may include multiple trial types to meet the needs of different users.
Illustratively, for some users, it is customary to automatically start formal billing usage after free trial cloud services. For other users, for example, users with a large cloud service usage amount, after the trial cloud service is finished, the users need to communicate with the cloud service provider further to implement charging rules, and then start formal charging for usage. Based on this, the trial type may include a first type and a second type. For the first type, after the number of times that the user calls the API reaches a trial threshold, the user is prohibited from continuing to use the cloud service. For the second type, after the number of times that the user calls the API reaches the trial threshold, the user can charge according to the number of times that the user calls the API when continuing to call the API.
In this embodiment, the user may select the trial type of the cloud service according to actual needs. In particular implementation, the cloud service platform may provide a trial configuration page to the user for the user to configure a trial type of the cloud service. For example, the cloud service platform at least comprises a service console, and the service console is used for providing a trial configuration page for a user, and the user can configure trial types of the cloud service through the service console.
In a more specific example, before obtaining the trial threshold and trial type of the cloud service by the user, the trial method of the cloud service may further include: s302-304.
S302, providing a trial configuration page for the user, wherein the trial configuration page contains a trial threshold, an API payment calling charging rule and a trial type configuration item which can be configured by the user.
The API payment calling charging rule is a charging rule which is set for the cloud service in advance by the cloud service platform. The API payment calling charging rules may be charged according to the number of times the user calls the API, for example, the unit price for calling the API once. The API pay call charging rule may also be a monthly payment, e.g., comprising 200 times per month.
The trial type configuration item is used for configuring trial types of the cloud service by the user. For example, the trial configuration page includes an interaction control labeled with a first type and an interaction control labeled with a second type.
The trial threshold is displayed on the trial configuration page, so that the user can be helped to know the maximum use amount of the cloud service, which can be tried out freely. The method has the advantages that the API payment calling charging rule is displayed on the trial configuration page, so that the user can be helped to know the charging rule of the cloud service, and the trial type of the cloud service can be selected according to the requirement under the condition that the user knows the API payment calling charging rule of the cloud service.
S304, determining the trial type of the user according to the configuration result of the user on the trial type configuration item.
The embodiment may determine the trial type of the user according to the configuration result of the user on the trial type configuration item, and after determining the trial type of the user, further may provide a corresponding trial service for the user according to the trial type of the user.
According to the embodiment of the disclosure, the trial configuration page is provided for the user, so that the user can select the trial type of the cloud service according to actual needs, the trial scheme is more flexible, and different user requirements can be met.
And S204, monitoring whether the times of calling the API by the user reach a trial threshold value.
In this embodiment, the number of times that the user calls the API may be monitored to determine whether the number of times that the user calls the API reaches the trial threshold, so as to determine whether the trial service is ended.
In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the step of monitoring whether the number of times that the user calls the API reaches a trial threshold may further include: s402-404.
S402, when the user calls the API, the number of the remaining free calls of the user is deducted, and the initial value of the number of the remaining free calls is a trial threshold value.
S404, when the number of the remaining free calling times is zero, determining that the number of times of calling the API by the user reaches a trial threshold value.
It is understood that, when the user does not start the trial service, the remaining free call number is the free call number of the user to the API of the cloud service. After the user starts the trial service, the user deducts 1 time from the remaining free calling times of the user every time the user calls the API. When the number of the remaining free calls is reduced to zero, the number of times that the user calls the API reaches a trial threshold value, and the user is determined to finish the trial service.
According to the embodiment of the disclosure, the number of times that the user calls the API is monitored in real time, whether the number of times that the user calls the API reaches the trial threshold is judged, whether the trial service is finished is determined, the user can be prohibited from continuing to use the corresponding cloud service when the number of times that the user calls the API reaches the trial threshold, a large amount of resources can be avoided being consumed, and the operation cost can be reduced while the trial service is provided for the user.
S206, under the condition that the trial type is the first type, after the number of times that the user calls the API reaches the trial threshold value, the user is prohibited from continuously using the cloud service.
In one embodiment of the disclosure, prohibiting the user from continuing to use the cloud service may be prohibiting the user from calling an API.
And S208, under the condition that the trial type is the second type, after the number of times that the user calls the API reaches the trial threshold value, starting to charge according to the number of times that the user calls the API.
It should be noted that, after the number of times that the user calls the API reaches the trial threshold, the number of times that the user calls the API is charged according to the API payment call charging rule shown in advance.
In an embodiment of the present disclosure, in a case that the trial type is the second type, after the number of times that the user calls the API reaches the trial threshold, the step of starting to perform charging according to the number of times that the user calls the API may further include: s502-504.
And S502, counting the times of calling the API by the user from zero as the payment calling times after the residual free calling times are zero.
The number of paid calls may be the number of times the user calls the API, charged by the number of times the user calls the API. The initial value of the number of paid invocations is zero.
S504, the payment calling times are sent to a charging system, so that the charging system can charge according to the payment calling times.
After the trial service is finished, namely when the formal charging is started, when the user calls the API once, the charging calling times are increased by 1 time, and the counted charging calling times are sent to the charging system, so that the charging system charges according to the charging calling times.
In one embodiment of the disclosure, a trial effective date may be set for the trial service, and whether the trial service is ended or not may be determined according to the trial effective date.
In a specific example, the trial method of the cloud service may further include: s602-604.
S602, acquiring the effective trial date of the user.
And S604, when the trial effective date arrives, setting the number of the remaining free calls of the user to be zero.
The trial effective date is a trial effective date which is preset for a certain cloud service by the cloud service platform. After the trial validity period, the user should be prohibited from continuing to try the cloud service. For example, the trial effective date of the cloud service is 31 days 10 and 31 months of 2020, after 31 days 10 and 31 days, the trial service of the cloud service is disabled, and the user may not continue to trial the cloud service.
When the trial effective date is reached, the number of the remaining free calls of the user is set to be zero, so that the cloud service platform can prohibit the user from continuously trying a certain cloud service.
According to the embodiment of the disclosure, the trial effective date is set for the trial service, so that the user can be prompted to enjoy the trial service within the trial effective date as soon as possible, and the probability of conversion into the formal charging user can be improved while the trial service is provided for the user.
According to the embodiment of the disclosure, under the condition that the trial type is the first type, after the number of times that the user calls the API reaches the trial threshold value, the user is prohibited from continuing to use the cloud service; and under the condition that the trial type is the second type, after the number of times that the user calls the API reaches the trial threshold value, starting to charge according to the number of times that the user calls the API. Therefore, the trial service can be provided according to the trial type of the cloud service selected by the user, the trial scheme is more flexible, and different user requirements can be met. Meanwhile, a large amount of resources can be avoided from being consumed, and the operation cost can be reduced while the trial service is provided for the user.
The following describes a trial method of the cloud service by using a specific example. Referring to fig. 3, the trial method of the cloud service includes the following steps.
S1001, the terminal receives operation of a user on a trial type configuration item on a trial configuration page, and sends a configuration result to the service console when the user clicks a submit button on the trial configuration page.
S2001, the service console receives the configuration result and sends the configuration result to the service operation background.
S3001, the service operation background receives the configuration result and determines the trial type of the cloud service by the user.
S3002, the service operation background sends the cloud service trial threshold and trial type of the user to the API gateway.
S1002, the terminal sends an API request to the API gateway, and the API gateway receives the API request.
S4001, the API gateway judges whether the number of the remaining free calls of the user is zero.
S4002, when the remaining free calling times of the user are not zero, subtracting 1 time from the remaining free calling times of the user.
S4003, when the number of remaining free calling times of the user is zero, if the trial type of the user is the first type, prohibiting the API from requesting calling the API; if the trial type of the user is the second type, the number of the payment calls is accumulated.
When the number of remaining free calls of the user is zero, if the trial type of the user is the first type, the API gateway may send a notification to the service operation background to prohibit the user from continuing to use the cloud service. And after receiving the notice for prohibiting the user from continuing to use the cloud service, the service operation background sends a prompt for finishing the trial to the user through the service console. When the number of remaining free calls of the user is zero, if the trial type of the user is the second type, the API gateway may send a notification of starting charging to the service operation background, and after receiving the notification of starting charging, the service operation background forwards the notification to the user to remind the user to start charging. After the charging is started, the API gateway may send the payment calling times of the user to the charging system according to a preset period, so that the charging system charges the user according to the payment calling times.
The embodiment of the present disclosure further provides an API gateway, which may be applied to an electronic device, for example, the cloud service platform 101 shown in fig. 1, where the API gateway is configured to receive an API request sent by a user, and send the API request to a corresponding cloud service in the cloud service platform, so as to obtain a corresponding resource or software service and provide the resource or software service to the user. As shown in fig. 4, the API gateway 40 may include a first obtaining module 41, a monitoring module 42, a disabling module 43, and a billing module 44.

And the monitoring module 42 is configured to monitor whether the number of times that the user calls the API reaches a trial threshold.
And the disabling module 43 is configured to prohibit the user from continuing to use the cloud service after the number of times that the user calls the API reaches the trial threshold value, if the trial type is the first type.
And the charging module 44 is configured to, when the trial type is the second type, start charging according to the number of times that the user calls the API after the number of times that the user calls the API reaches the trial threshold.
In one embodiment, in the case that the trial type is the first type, when prohibiting the user from continuing to use the cloud service, the prohibition module 43 may be configured to: and under the condition that the trial type is the first type, forbidding the user to call the API after the number of times that the user calls the API reaches the trial threshold value.
In one embodiment, the monitoring module 42 includes a deduction unit and a determination unit. The deduction unit is used for deducting the residual free calling times of the user when the user calls the API, and the initial value of the residual free calling times is a trial threshold value.
