Description

Virtual network function network element arranging and scheduling method, device and system
Technical Field
The present disclosure relates to the field of container technologies in the field of cloud computing, and in particular, to a method, an apparatus, and a system for scheduling virtualized network function network elements.
Background
Network Function Virtualization (NFV), 5G Network element micro-service design, and containerized deployment have been trends, and each VNF (Virtual Network Function) Network element in a container service supply chain has a certain dependency relationship, and in order to ensure efficient Network transmission performance in a service scene with large concurrency and low delay, it is often necessary to schedule the VNF affinity of the container having the dependency relationship to the same cluster, the same node, or even the same Pod (container instance).
In the related art, one approach is VNF cluster-level affinity scheduling. That is, each VNF that is interdependent is scheduled to a different node in the same cluster, resulting in unstable network function performance. For VNFs with high response speed requirements, cross-node independent deployment still cannot meet low-latency scenarios, performance loss exists in cross-node communication between VNFs through a network stack, and network services are difficult to guarantee basic user experience.
One approach is VNF node level affinity scheduling. The VNFs that are mutually dependent are scheduled to the same node of the same cluster, which results in resource waste, some cluster nodes are too idle, some cluster nodes are too tight, and even the VNF of the whole service chain container cannot be scheduled under the conditions of user traffic surge and resource shortage. Kernel loopback communication needs to be carried out between container VNFs in the same node, and certain performance loss still exists.
Another approach is Tag-based VNF container group-level affinity scheduling. That is, the same Pod label is manually marked on the strongly dependent container VNF, and the strongly dependent container VNF is scheduled to run on the same Pod, which causes great difficulty in operation and maintenance. When the service needs to be upgraded and rolled back, only the Pod level can be operated in a unified way, and independent life cycle management cannot be performed on different container VNFs in the same Pod.

The invention provides a virtualized network function network element scheduling method, device and system, aiming at the problems of resource waste and network function performance loss after scheduling of a container VNF.
Fig. 1 is a flowchart illustrating some embodiments of a virtualized network function network element orchestration scheduling method according to the present disclosure.
In step 110, the dependency relationship between the VNF network elements in the container service chain and the network stack type of each VNF network element are obtained.
If the network delay tolerance of two previous and next VNF network elements in one container service chain is smaller than the threshold, it indicates that the two VNF network elements have a dependency relationship.
In some embodiments, the network stack type of the VNF network element includes: and a direct communication type and a local loop communication type of a user mode memory interface are supported.
Compared to a conventional VNF network element, the VNF network element in this embodiment is a finer-grained one-container microservice VNF that can be containerized, where one container carries one VNF.
In step 120, the resource occupation of each node in each cluster is obtained.
In some embodiments, a monitoring client is arranged in each node, the monitoring client is used for monitoring the resource occupation condition of each node and feeding back the resource occupation condition to the monitoring server at regular time, and the monitoring server collects the resource occupation condition of each node uploaded by the monitoring client.
In step 130, each VNF network element is scheduled according to the dependency relationship between the VNF network elements, the network stack type of each VNF network element, and the resource occupation condition of each node.
In the above embodiment, each VNF network element is scheduled according to the dependency relationship among the VNF network elements, the network stack type of each VNF network element, and the resource occupation condition of each node, and on the premise that the service response time requirement is met, the container resource overhead is minimized, the network quality can be guaranteed to the maximum extent, and the resource utilization rate of the bottom layer device is improved.
Fig. 2 is a flowchart illustrating a virtualized network function network element scheduling method according to another embodiment of the present disclosure.
In step 210, the dependency relationship between the VNF network elements in the container service chain and the network stack type of each VNF network element are obtained.
In step 220, the resource occupation of each node in each cluster is obtained.
In step 230, it is determined whether a node can meet the requirement of the VNF network element having the dependency relationship according to the resource occupation of the node, if so, step 240 is executed, otherwise, step 270 is executed.
In some embodiments, it is further determined whether a node can meet the requirements of multiple VNF networks by calculating network performance requirements and resource overheads between VNF network elements in a container service chain.
In step 240, it is determined whether each VNF network element having a dependency relationship supports direct communication of the user mode memory interface according to the network stack type of each VNF network element, if so, step 250 is executed, otherwise, step 260 is executed.
In step 250, VNF network element choreographies with dependencies are scheduled into the same container instance of the same node. I.e. multiple VNF network element choreographies are scheduled into the same Pod of the same node, one Pod encapsulating one or more containers.
The VNF network elements in the same Pod of the same node are scheduled and directly communicated through a user mode memory interface, and compared with a node level affinity scheduling scheme, the VNF network elements in multiple pods are communicated through local loops, network paths and resource expenses among the VNF network elements can be reduced, performance is enhanced, and network service quality is improved.
In some embodiments, multiple VNFs are scheduled in the same Pod, and each Pod has its own independent namespace, and multiple containers in one Pod share the same namespace IPC of the isolated process, which means that the multiple containers can communicate with each other using standard inter-process communication methods, such as SystemV semaphores and POSIX sharing memory, without kernel-mode loopback communication. In addition, containers in the same Pod use one directory on the host as a shared volume (shared volume), and share data among a plurality of containers, that is, the plurality of containers multiplex memory page resources, and the container resource overhead is reduced.
In some embodiments, VNF network elements with dependency relationships may be scheduled to the same Pod in a tagging manner, and an operation and maintenance person may perform lifecycle management on any container in the Pod, thereby simplifying operation and maintenance, and scheduling VNF affinity of strongly dependent containers to the same Pod without changing an existing deployment habit.
In the related art, each VNF network element with a requirement needs to be manually tagged, and the VNF network elements with the same tag are scheduled to the same Pod, and in an actual application scenario, one VNF is usually deployed in batch or reused in multiple service chains.
In step 260, the VNF network elements supporting the direct communication of the user mode memory interface and the VNF network elements not supporting the direct communication of the user mode memory interface are respectively scheduled and dispatched to different container instances of the same node.
In some embodiments, VNF network elements in different container instances scheduled to the same node are orchestrated to communicate over a local loopback.
In step 270, VNF network element orchestrations with dependencies are scheduled into different nodes of the same cluster.
In some embodiments, the orchestration is via cross-host communication between VNF network elements scheduled to different nodes.
When a plurality of VNF network elements are dispatched to the same container instance, the VNF network elements directly communicate by using a user mode memory interface, the network performance of communication between the VNF network elements is highest, and the resource overhead to the node is also minimum; when a plurality of VNF network elements are respectively dispatched to different container instances of the same node, the VNF network elements use local loop communication to achieve secondary high performance; when multiple VNF network elements are respectively scheduled to different nodes, cross-host communication is required among the multiple VNF network elements, and network performance is the worst.
In the above embodiment, the scheduling manner in the container instance is preferentially selected according to the dependency relationship between the VNF network elements, the network stack type of each VNF network element, and the resource occupation condition of each node, so that the container resource overhead is minimized on the premise of satisfying the service response time requirement.
In other embodiments of the present disclosure, when the host resources are sufficient, if there is no dependency relationship between two VNF network elements before and after the container service chain and the communication network delay between two nodes cannot satisfy the maximum value of the network delay tolerance between the two VNF network elements, the two VNF network elements are scheduled to different container instances of the same node.
In some embodiments, if there is no dependency between two VNF network elements before and after the container service chain, and one node cannot meet the requirements of the two VNF network elements, the two VNF network elements are scheduled into different nodes.
In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 3. The container service chain SFC1 includes a VNF1 network element, a VNF2 network element, a VNF3 network element, and a VNF4 network element, where the VNF1 network element and the VNF2 network element have a dependency relationship therebetween. Node A includes Pod1 and Pod2, and node B includes Pod3 and other pods. The monitoring client A monitors the resource occupation condition of the node A, and the monitoring client B monitors the resource occupation condition of the node B, wherein the monitoring client A and the monitoring client B respectively send the monitored resource occupation condition of the node to the monitoring server. And the scheduling decision module is used for collecting the dependency relationship of the VNF network elements and the node resource use condition analyzed by the monitoring server side, and scheduling the VNF network elements to appropriate nodes or pods according to the requirements. For example, VNF1 network elements and VNF2 network elements are orchestrated into Pod1 of node a, VNF3 network elements are orchestrated into Pod2 of node a, and VNF4 network elements are orchestrated into Pod3 of node B. The VNF1 network element and the VNF2 network element communicate directly through a user mode memory interface, and the VNF1 network element and the VNF3 network element communicate through a local loopback.
In the embodiment, the network service quality can be guaranteed, the basic user experience is met, the resource utilization rate can be improved by minimizing the container resource overhead, and the reasonable arrangement and scheduling of the VNF of the container service chain are realized.
