It is to be understood that the data so used may be interchanged where appropriate such that the embodiments of the application described herein may be implemented in sequences other than those illustrated or otherwise described herein.

Example 1

Fig. 1 is a flowchart of an application clouding method provided in an embodiment of the present application, where the embodiment may be applied to a case where an application runs in a cloud environment through a container, where the container generation controller may be a custom controller in a cluster control node adopted by a user to clouding the application, and the current container generation controller is different from other controllers and is used to generate a current target container to help the target application run in the cloud environment. Moreover, the method may be performed by an application clouding device, which may be implemented in hardware and/or software, and which may be configured in an electronic apparatus. As shown in fig. 1, the method includes:

s110, acquiring a container editing engine, a configuration file corresponding to a target application to be deployed in the cloud environment and a creation request of the target container.

Wherein the container may package the application into a standardized unit for development, delivery, and deployment, and the container editing engine may be an engine for assembling the generated container. The container editing engine according to the embodiment of the present application may be an engine developed in related technology, and optionally, the container editing engine may be kubernetes (K8S for short). K8S is an open source for managing containerized applications on multiple hosts in a cloud platform, and Kubernetes' S goal is to make deploying containerized applications simple and efficient, and Kubernetes provides a mechanism for application deployment, planning, updating, and maintenance.

The cloud environment may be any internet or big data environment capable of providing computing power, storage power, virtual machine services, or the like to users or various application systems on demand from a dynamically virtualized resource pool. The target application may be any application program that needs to be loaded into the cloud for running. The configuration file corresponding to the target application may be a file of related configuration parameters preset according to characteristics of the target application, and may be set and stored by related staff before application clouding, and directly obtained when application clouding is performed. The target container may then be a corresponding container for supporting the target application to run in the cloud environment. The creation request of the target container may be obtained by the current container generation controller from other end (e.g., terminal).

S120, determining a fixed Internet protocol address resource pool (IP pool) corresponding to the network plug-in type according to the network plug-in type in the container arrangement engine.

The network plug-in types may include, but are not limited to, specific network plug-ins provided by each developer, for example, a calico and a flannel, where the network plug-in types are different, and the implemented network communication functions are different. Different network plug-in types also correspond to different IP pools. According to the difference of the network plug-ins, the IP pools corresponding to the network plug-ins are determined, and the IP to be allocated to the target application is selected from the IP pools after one pass.

In an alternative embodiment, after determining the fixed internet protocol address resource pool (IP pool) corresponding to the network plug-in type according to the network plug-in type in the container orchestration engine, the method may further comprise: the controllers other than the current container generation controller are restricted from occupying the IP pool.

After the current container generation controller determines a certain IP pool corresponding to the network plug-in, the unique lock may be loaded on the IP pool, that is, the IP pool only opens the use right for the current container generation controller, and limits the use right (that is, the occupation right) for other controllers except the current container generation controller, that is, after the IP pool is determined, the other controllers cannot access the IP pool and occupy any IP therein. The purpose of this is to guarantee the uniqueness of the IP usage, which can improve the success rate of container creation.

S130, determining at least one target IP according to the creation request of the target container and the IP pool.

And determining the IP to be occupied according to the creation request of the target container and the determined IP pool acquired in the previous step. Of course, the manner of determining the IP may employ a random algorithm, and since the IPs in the IP pool play the same role in the application clouding process, there is no difference in occupying (or being allocated to) various IPs. The IP to be used can be quickly determined by a random selection algorithm.

In an alternative embodiment, the determining at least one target IP according to the creation request of the target container and the IP pool may include: determining the required quantity of the target IP according to the creation request of the target container; at least one unoccupied target IP is determined from the IP pool based on the number of requirements.

The creation request of the target container is related to the target application, and the creation request is generated according to the number of the IP which is required to be occupied by the target application. The resulting request for creating the target container thus includes the number of IPs that need to be occupied, i.e., the number of demands. According to the required number, a corresponding number of the IP is determined as the IP to be used by the target application from the unoccupied IP in the determined IP pool through a random algorithm. Of course, the occupied IP in the IP pool has been made an occupied tag, and the IP without the occupied tag is selected, and after determining the target IP in the embodiment of the present application, the occupied tag is assigned to the IP. This can prevent problems caused by the reuse of IP.

In an alternative embodiment, after determining at least one target IP from the creation request and the IP pool of the target container, the method may further include: and removing the occupation authority of the controller except the current container generation controller to the IP pool.

It may be that, as before, the IP pool needs to be locked before the target IP is determined, and then the IP pool may be unlocked after the target IP is determined, so that other controllers may select the unoccupied IP. The IP pool is locked and unlocked timely, the efficiency of selecting the IP can be effectively improved, other controllers are prevented from occupying the same IP, and therefore the stability of IP selection is guaranteed.

And S140, constructing a target container corresponding to the target application according to each target IP, the configuration file and the network plug-in type so as to realize cloud operation of the target application.

And constructing a target container through K8S according to each target IP and preset configuration file determined in the previous step and a specific network plug-in, so that an environment which can be operated in the cloud is provided by the non-target application.

In an optional embodiment, the constructing, according to each target IP, the configuration file, and the network plug-in type, a target container corresponding to the target application may include: determining network plug-in requirements according to the network plug-in types; and constructing a target container according to the requirements of each target IP, the configuration file and the network plug-in.

The network plug-in requirement can be the use standard of the corresponding network plug-in when the target container is constructed, and the like. Because the types of the network plug-ins are different, the provided network services are different, the requirements of the network plug-ins are determined according to the types of the network plug-ins, then the network plug-ins are combined into corresponding definition formats by combining all target IP and configuration files, and a target container is created by using the definitions. Of course, the group and definition formats may also operate in K8S, which is not limited by the embodiment of the present application.

Example two

Fig. 2 is a schematic diagram of a development framework for cloud application according to a second embodiment of the present application, which is a preferred implementation manner provided on the basis of the foregoing embodiments. The method comprises the following steps:

the embodiment of the application generates the corresponding container for the application needing clouding based on the cloud environment established by the kubernetes (K8S) of the open source. As shown in fig. 2, the custom controller is an execution subject of the embodiment of the present application (corresponding to the aforementioned current container generation controller), and the controller will take charge of abstract network plug-ins, manage fixed IP pool resources, apply for fixed IP, and determine fixed IP conforming to the network plug-ins.

Users want to deploy their own legacy software applications in a cloud environment, which needs to be able to fix the IP of the application, and thus need to define a profile describing the application and submit it to K8SAPI SERVER.

Monitoring a configuration file submitted by a user and transmitting the request to a custom controller containing our patent; the custom controller receives a request to create a container capable of securing IP.

The custom controller queries the network plug-in type in the K8S environment, queries the corresponding fixed IP resource pool, and stores the corresponding fixed IP resource pool in the program cache, and for convenience of description below, we call the fixed resource object in the cache as a controller-IP pool.

And the user-defined controller queries all containers in the K8S environment, queries the used IP of all the containers in the controller-ippool, and marks the occupied labels. The remaining IPs are marked with unoccupied labels.

Checking the request for constructing the container received in the previous step requires applying for n IP resources. And using a unique lock, other controllers are prevented from applying IP synchronously.

And randomly selecting n labels from the controller-ippool as unoccupied IP, marking the occupied labels and releasing the unique lock.

For different network plug-in requirements, the IP is combined into a required definition format, and corresponding containers are created by using the definitions, so that software applications needing cloudization by users can run in a cloud environment.

The method for distributing and generating the container by the IP can be compatible with various network plug-ins, abstract network capability, reduce the influence of difference caused by the network plug-ins and provide the same interface. The uniqueness of the IP use is guaranteed through the uniqueness lock, and the high success rate of container creation is guaranteed. Meanwhile, the generation of the container is carried out according to the type of the network plug-in, the IP and the configuration file, so that the manual operation in the process of applying for the container in the prior art is replaced, the efficiency is greatly improved, and the error rate of manual intervention is reduced.
