Description
Technical Field
The present invention relates to Network Function Virtualization (NFV) technologies, and in particular, to a method, an apparatus, a device, and a storage medium for deploying a Virtual Network Function (VNF).
Background
Network Function Virtualization (NFV) refers to a software process that carries many functions by using general purpose hardware and virtualization technologies. The NFV can decouple software and hardware and abstract functions, so that the functions of network equipment do not depend on special hardware any more, resources can be shared fully and flexibly, rapid development and deployment of new services are realized, and automatic deployment, elastic expansion, fault isolation, self-healing and the like are carried out based on actual service requirements.
In the related art, the NFV management and orchestration system mainly includes: network Function Virtualization Orchestrators (NFVOs), Virtual Network Function Managers (VNFMs), and Virtual Infrastructure Managers (VIMs). The NFVO is responsible for arranging and managing global resources, managing the life cycle of network services and the like; the VNFM is responsible for lifecycle management of the VNF, such as parsing and processing of VNFD (Virtual Network Function Descriptor), initialization of VNF instance, and scaling of VNF; the VIM is responsible for scheduling and managing hardware resources and virtualized resources, and provides a virtualized resource pool to the upper layer.

Detailed Description
The present invention will be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples.
Unless defined otherwise, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention belongs. The terminology used in the description of the invention herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention.
An embodiment of the present invention provides a VNF deployment method, which is applied to NFVO, and as shown in fig. 1, the method includes:
In the embodiment of the present invention, the NFVO may determine at least two resource pools based on the VDU in the VNFD information, and may deploy, in the instantiation process of the VNF, a plurality of VNFCs under the VDU to the at least two resource pools, thereby implementing cross-resource-pool deployment of the VNF, enabling resources of each resource pool to be reasonably utilized, and facilitating reduction of duplicate deployment of the VNF.
In practical application, there may be a plurality of VDUs in the VNFD information, and there are VDUs corresponding to at least two resource pools in the plurality of VDUs, that is, some or all of the VDUs in the plurality of VDUs correspond to the plurality of resource pools, so that the VDUs with the plurality of resource pools can be deployed across the resource pools by the VNFC.
In some embodiments, before the determining at least two resource pools corresponding to VDUs in the VNFD information, the method further includes:
registering the VNFD information for instantiating the VNF, wherein a VDU in the VNFD information carries the resource pool identifications of the at least two resource pools or trigger information for indicating that the resource pool identifications of the at least two resource pools are externally input.
It can be understood that, in the embodiment of the present invention, in the process of designing and registering VNFD information by a user, resource pool identifiers of multiple resource pools or trigger information for indicating resource pool identifiers of multiple resource pools input externally is introduced into a VDU. Here, the resource pool identification (vimid) may be information such as a name, a category, an identity of the resource pool, and the like. In practical applications, VNFD information may be registered in the form of a VNF packet registered on the NFVO, that is, VNFD information is carried in the VNF packet.
Illustratively, when the DEMO _ VDU1 is instantiated, 5 VNFCs need to be deployed, and two resource pools are specified in vimid and can be used for selection during instantiation, and specific examples are as follows:
illustratively, when the DEMO _ VDU2 is instantiated, 3 VNFCs need to be deployed, and the resource pool identifier is specified to be obtained from the input parameter in vimid, which is specifically exemplified as follows:
DEMO_VDU2:
…
properties:
vimid:{get_input:vimid}
initial_number_of_instances:3
…
in this way, after acquiring VNFD information of the instantiated VNF, the NFVO may acquire, based on the description information of each VDU, a plurality of resource pools that each VDU corresponds to for instantiation.
In some embodiments, the NFVO determining, based on VNFD information of instantiated VNFs, at least two resource pools corresponding to VDUs in the VNFD information, including:
analyzing the VDU in the VNFD information, and determining the at least two resource pools based on resource pool identifications carried by the VDU; alternatively, the first and second electrodes may be,
analyzing the VDU in the VNFD information, receiving an externally input resource pool identifier based on trigger information carried by the VDU, and determining the at least two resource pools.
For example, for the aforementioned DEMO _ VDU1, NFVO may determine that the resource pools it may instantiate are vim01 and vim 02; with respect to DEMO _ VDU2 as described above, NFVO may determine the resource pool it may instantiate based on the vimid entered by the user at the input interface.
In some embodiments, sending a request to instantiate the VNF to the VNFM based on the at least two resource pools comprises:
sending a request for instantiating the VNF to the VNFM, wherein the request carries the resource pool identifications of the at least two resource pools; alternatively, the first and second electrodes may be,
based on the occupation state of each resource pool in the at least two resource pools, allocating the corresponding relation between the plurality of VNFCs to be deployed in the VDU and the at least two resource pools, and sending a request for instantiating a VNF to the VNFM, wherein the request carries the corresponding relation.
It can be understood that, instead of allocating the number of VNFCs that need to be deployed for each of the multiple resource pools of the VDU, the NFVO may send, to the VNFM, the resource pool identifier of the multiple resource pools corresponding to the instantiation of the VDU, where the VNFC deployment number corresponding to each resource pool is determined by the VNFM; or the NFVO may allocate a correspondence between a plurality of VNFCs to be deployed in the VDU and the at least two resource pools, and carry the correspondence in the request for instantiating the VNF, so that the VNFMs may determine the deployment number of the VNFCs corresponding to each resource pool according to the correspondence.
It is to be understood that the number of VDUs in the VNFD information may be one, or two or more, and the NFVO may parse each VDU in the VNFD information to determine a resource pool for instantiation of each VDU. For each VDU, the NFVO allocates the number of VNFCs to be deployed on each resource pool according to the occupation state of the resource pool, where the occupation state of the resource pool is the utilization rate of resources in the resource pool, such as CPU utilization rate, storage resource utilization rate, and the like. For example, for the foregoing DEMO _ VDU1, the NFVO may determine that the resource pools that it may instantiate are vim01 and vim02, and since the resource consumption duty ratio of vim01 is higher than that of vim02, for 5 VNFCs to be deployed in DEMO _ VDU1, 2 VNFCs are allocated to be deployed on vim01, and 3 VNFCs are allocated to be deployed on vim 02; for the foregoing DEMO _ VDU2, the NFVO may determine that the resource pools that it may instantiate are vim01 and vim03, and since the resource consumption duty ratio of vim01 is higher than that of vim03, for 3 VNFCs to be deployed in DEMO _ VDU2, 1 VNFC is allocated to be deployed on vim01, and 2 VNFCs are allocated to be deployed on vim 03. Thus, 5 VNFCs with the same function DEMO _ VDU1 are respectively deployed in two resource pools of vim01 and vim 02; 3 VNFCs with the same function DEMO _ VDU2 are respectively deployed in two resource pools of vim01 and vim 03. If the vim01 fails, the VNFCs deployed on the vim01 may fail, and at this time, the VNFCs deployed on the vim02 and the vim03 and having the same function may continue to provide services, thereby ensuring the reliability of the services.
An embodiment of the present invention further provides a VNF deployment method, which is applied to a VNFM, and as shown in fig. 2, the method includes:
Here, the VNFM may determine, based on the request, at least two resource pools that the VDU may implement, and deploy, into the at least two resource pools, a plurality of VNFCs to be deployed in the VDU.
In some embodiments, the requesting carries correspondence between the plurality of VNFCs to be deployed in the VDU and the at least two resource pools, and the deploying the plurality of VNFCs in the VDU to the at least two resource pools based on the request includes:
and determining the deployment number of the VNFC corresponding to each resource pool based on the corresponding relation.
The corresponding relationship is allocated by the NFVO based on the occupation state of each resource pool of the at least two resource pools, and the description of the NFVO side may be specifically referred to, and is not repeated herein.
In some embodiments, the requesting carries resource pool identities of the at least two resource pools, and the deploying, based on the request, the plurality of VNFCs in the VDU into the at least two resource pools includes:
based on the at least two resource pools, randomly allocating the deployment number of the VNFCs corresponding to the resource pools, or allocating the deployment number of the VNFCs corresponding to the resource pools according to a pre-policy.
Here, if the request to instantiate the VNF does not specify the deployment number of VNFCs corresponding to each resource pool in the VDU, the VNFM may randomly allocate the deployment number of VNFCs corresponding to each resource pool, or allocate the deployment number by using a predefined rule, where the predefined rule may be from VNFD information or from VNFM, for example, the number of VNFCs to be deployed on each resource pool is allocated according to an occupied state of each resource pool.
Thus, the VNFM can deploy the multiple VNFCs of the VDU to the at least two resource pools, thereby implementing the cross-resource-pool deployment of the VNFs, enabling resources of each resource pool to be reasonably utilized, and facilitating reduction of duplicate deployments of the VNFs.
The present invention will be described in further detail with reference to the following application examples.

in the second mode, the VDU is analyzed, and vimid of the resource pool input by inputs (input interface) is received.
Step 306, allocating the number of VNFCs deployed on each resource pool according to the vimid information;
the NFVO allocates VNFCs to be deployed to different resource pools according to the resource pool information obtained in step 305 and by combining the actual use conditions of the resource pools.
Step 307, sending a request to instantiate a VNF to a VNFM;
and the NFVO triggers a process of instantiating the VNF, and sends the inputs information and the deployment relation of the VNFC to be deployed and the resource pool to the VNFM.
Step 308, analyzing inputs and VNFD information;
and the VNFM analyzes the inputs information and the VNFD information to obtain the deployment relationship between the VNFC and the resource pool. If the deployment relationship between the VNFC and the resource pool is not specified in step 306, the VNFC is randomly allocated or allocated according to a predefined rule.
Step 309, applying for authorization;
and the VNFM sends an authorization request to the NFVO, wherein the authorization request carries the relation between the VNFC and the multiple deployment resource pools and requests the NFVO to authorize.
Step 310, returning authorization information;
the NFVO returns authorization information to the VNFM.
311, creating resources in an indirect mode;
the VNFM sends an indirect mode create resource request to the NFVO.
Step 312, create a resource at VIM 1;
