Description

  The present invention relates to a program deployment apparatus, a deployment method, and a program. In particular, the present invention relates to program deployment to a service system that is constructed using middleware or application programs having dependency relationships.

In recent years, an increasing number of services and application providing systems are constructed and operated in a specific data center. In this form, the cost for system development is reduced by providing the data center with a function group that is commonly used regardless of the service and application in providing the service. Here, the commonly used function group includes not only software but also hardware functions. That is, in this form, the service provider itself can provide services and applications to users without owning hardware or some software. This form of service is called a cloud form service.
On the other hand, such cloud-type services are provided by sharing software such as hardware and middleware with other services and applications inside the data center. If one business operator occupies hardware and software, the total amount of hardware and software increases, and its maintenance cost increases. Sharing prevents this high cost. In other words, services in the cloud form are realized by using the minimum hardware and software resources to provide the determined functionality and quality, so that service providers can create an inexpensive service execution environment with low maintenance costs. To provide.
At this time, it is possible to allow the service provider to specify the environment and operating conditions necessary for service and application operation without being aware of the internal structure of the data center, and to build a service system with desired conditions in the data center. Necessary. The challenge is how to do this. In particular, in such a data center, in order to operate a large amount of services and applications, how to reduce the construction load of the service system becomes a problem.
Such issues have been addressed before the advent of large-scale data centers that provide cloud-type services, and approaches to automate system construction as much as possible have been taken.
For example, Patent Document 1 discloses a technique for describing a system in detail using a predetermined service definition model and automating the system configuration.
Patent Document 2 discloses a system that automatically generates virtual computer system configuration information necessary for operating a virtual computer system and system configuration information of the host computer and each child OS when the virtual computer system is incorporated into a host computer. Is disclosed.
Further, Patent Document 3 specifies a reusable specification in a case database, and automatically generates a composite specification for a design target system by reflecting the contents of each specification specified in a specification template. Is disclosed. Patent Document 4 discloses an apparatus that deploys an application program to a server specified by an application program deployment procedure file.

The deployment device 21 deploys the AP 25 and the infrastructure 27 that is the execution platform of the execution device 23. Here, “deployment” refers to sending a program to the execution device 23 and requesting the installation program in the execution device 23 to install.
The AP management device 24 stores an AP 25 to be deployed in this system. A user such as a developer or a person in charge of release of the AP 25 registers the AP 25 in the AP management device 24 in advance. The infrastructure management device 26 stores an infrastructure 27 to be deployed in this system. A user such as a developer or a person in charge of release of the infrastructure 27 registers the infrastructure 27 in the infrastructure management apparatus 26 in advance.
The AP 25 and the infrastructure 27 may be stored in a disk device provided in the deployment device 21. In this case, the AP management device 24 and the infrastructure management device 26 are not necessary.
The execution device 23 receives and installs the AP 25 and the infrastructure 27, and then executes the AP 25 and the infrastructure 27. The execution device 23 is, for example, a computer provided with a basic OS having a communication function, an installation program, and the like.
The AP configuration storage unit 10 stores one or more AP configuration information 40. AP configuration information 40 exists for AP25. For example, a user such as a developer or a person in charge of release of the AP 25 stores the AP configuration information 40 in the AP configuration storage unit 10 via an input / output interface provided in the deployment device 21. The deployment device 21 may acquire a part or all of the AP configuration information 40 from the development repository of the AP 25 or the like.
FIG. 2 shows the configuration of the AP configuration information 40. The AP configuration information 40 includes an AP name 41, package information 42, one or more requested function names 43, and content information 44.
The AP name 41 is an identifier for identifying the AP 25 corresponding to the AP configuration information 40. The package information 42 is information representing the deployment form of the corresponding AP 25. The requested function name 43 is an identifier representing a function requested by the corresponding AP 25.
The content information 44 is summary information of the content of the corresponding AP 25 component. The content information 44 includes content keywords. The content keyword includes a file name included in the AP 25, a directory name, a directory structure (tree structure) description, text keyword information included in the file, text structure information (description format), and the like.
The infrastructure configuration storage unit 11 stores one or more infrastructure configuration information 50. The infrastructure configuration information 50 exists for the infrastructure 27. For example, a user such as a developer or a person in charge of release of the infrastructure 27 stores the infrastructure configuration information 50 in the infrastructure configuration storage unit 11 via an input / output interface provided in the deployment device 21. The deployment device 21 may acquire some or all of the infrastructure configuration information 50 from the development repository of the infrastructure 27 or the like.
FIG. 3 shows the configuration of the infrastructure configuration information 50. The infrastructure configuration information 50 includes one function name 51, zero or more inclusion function names 52, one or more implementation function names 53, and an infrastructure implementation name 54. The function name 51, the inclusion function name 52, and the implemented function name 53 are collectively referred to as a function name group 55.
The function name 51 is an identifier of a function that the corresponding infrastructure 27 realizes, that is, provides. The inclusion function name 52 is an identifier of a function included in the function specified by the function name 51. For example, when the function name 51 is an identifier of an encrypted electronic mail communication function, the inclusion function name 52 is an identifier of the electronic mail communication function and an identifier of the encryption / complex function.
The infrastructure implementation name 54 is an identifier for identifying the corresponding infrastructure 27.
The mounted function name 53 is an identifier of a function other than the function specified by the function name 51 realized by the corresponding infrastructure 27.

Furthermore, the infrastructure configuration information 50 may not include the implementation function name 53, and the resolution unit 13 may acquire the implementation function name 53 from the package information of the infrastructure 27 in S22 of FIG.
Each of the requested function name 43 of the AP configuration information 40 and the function name group 55 of the infrastructure configuration information 50 includes the same identifier (function identifier) for the same function. The unit and contents of the function specified by the requested function name 43 of the AP configuration information 40 and the function name group 55 of the infrastructure configuration information 50, and the format and value of the function identifier are previously determined by the administrator of this system. It is determined and notified to the registrants of the AP configuration information 40 and the infrastructure configuration information 50.
The system configuration storage unit 12 stores one or more system configuration information 30. The system configuration information 30 exists in correspondence with different configurations of the service system to be constructed. An operation manager or the like of the system stores the system configuration information 30 in the system configuration storage unit 12 via an input / output interface or the like provided in the deployment device 21.
FIG. 4 shows the configuration of the system configuration information 30. The system configuration information 30 includes a system name 31 and one or more AP names 32. The system configuration information 30 may include one or more customization information 330. The customization information 330 has the same structure as the infrastructure configuration information 50. That is, the customization information 330 includes one function name 331, zero or more inclusion function names 332, one or more implementation function names 333, and an infrastructure implementation name 334.
The system name 31 is an identifier of the configuration of the corresponding service system. The AP name 32 is an identifier of the AP 25 to be deployed in the corresponding service system.
The system configuration information 30 may include hardware conditions that the execution device 23 should have, such as disk capacity, memory capacity, and the number of processors. Then, the deployment device 21 may select the execution device 23 that deploys the AP 25 and the infrastructure 27 from a plurality of candidates based on this information.
The system starts its operation when a user such as a system construction person inputs the system name of the system to be constructed from the input / output device 16 to the combining unit 14 of the deployment device 21.
FIG. 5 is an operation flowchart of the synthesis unit 14. First, the synthesizing unit 14 acquires the system name input by the user from the input / output device 16 (S1), searches the system configuration storage unit 12, and includes the system name 31 that matches the input system name. System configuration information 30 is acquired (S2). Furthermore, the synthesizing unit 14 acquires all the AP names 32 included in the system configuration information 30 and transmits them to the resolution unit 13, and waits for the completion of the operation of the resolution unit 13 (see FIGS. 6 and 7) (S3). .
Thereafter, the synthesizing unit 14 receives the AP configuration information 40 and the selected infrastructure configuration information 50 from the resolution unit 13, and acquires the function name 51 (S4). The synthesizing unit 14 determines whether the customization information 330 in which the function name 331 matches the function name 51 exists in the system configuration information 30 acquired in S2 (S5). If it exists (Y in S5), the synthesizing unit 14 overwrites the infrastructure configuration information 50 received from the resolution unit 13 with the customization information 330 (S6), and replaces the AP configuration information 40 and the overwritten infrastructure configuration information 50 with each other. The data is transmitted to the deployment unit 15 (S7), and the process ends. When it does not exist (N in S5), the synthesis unit 14 transmits the infrastructure configuration information 50 received from the resolution unit 13 to the deployment unit 15 as it is (S7).
For example, when the function name 331 of the customization information 330 and the function name 51 of the infrastructure configuration information 50 both indicate the function F1, the synthesizing unit 14 adopts the information defined in the customization information 330 as the information of the function F1, The information of the infrastructure configuration information 50 is ignored.
As described above, by setting the customization information 330 in the system configuration information 30, a user such as a person in charge of system construction can deploy an appropriate infrastructure 27.
For example, a user such as a person in charge of system construction can set the function identifier of the relational database function in the function name 331 of the customization information 330 and the function identifier of the database product of OSS (OpenSource Software) in the infrastructure implementation name 334. In this way, even if the developer or the like has registered only the infrastructure configuration information 50 having the function name 51 as the relational database function and the infrastructure implementation name 54 as the paid database product, the system builder or the like can register the OSS in the execution device 23. Product can be deployed.
6 and 7 are operation flowcharts of the resolution unit 13. The system configuration information 30 is received from the synthesis unit 14 (S11), and the resolution unit 13 extracts all the AP names 32 therefrom (S12). Thereafter, the resolution unit 13 repeats the processes of S13 to S16 for each AP name 32.
First, the resolution unit 13 acquires the AP configuration information 40 in which the AP name 41 matches the AP name 32 from the AP configuration storage unit 10 (S13). The analysis unit 13 extracts the package information 42 and creates one or more function identifiers A based on the information (S14).
For example, when the package information 42 includes information that the package format of the corresponding AP 25 is war, the resolution unit 13 uses the package. Generate war. package. war is a function identifier attached to a function that enables execution of a program whose package format is war. That is, the function identifier A indicates that the AP 25 needs an infrastructure 27 that can execute a program whose package format is war.
Note that the function identifier A does not have to have a one-to-one relationship with the package format. The resolution unit 13 may generate two function identifiers A from one package format. Further, the resolution unit 13 may, for example, store package.42 in both cases where the package format indicated by the package information 42 is “war” and “ear”. The same function identifier A called “jee” may be generated. In this case, package. “jee” is a function identifier assigned to a function that enables execution of a program whose package format is “war” and “ear”.
The correspondence between the package format and one or more function identifiers A is given to the deployment device 21 in advance as a correspondence table, conversion rule, or the like.
Next, the resolution unit 13 extracts the content information 44 and creates one or more function identifiers B based on the information (S15). Specifically, the resolution unit 13 extracts a content keyword included in the content information 44 and creates a function identifier B based on the content keyword.
For example, when a framework that performs database access processing is introduced, the resolution unit 13 that detects that the file name of the setting file used by the corresponding framework is included in the content information 44 is db as the function identifier B. . framework1 is generated. db. The framework 1 is a function identifier assigned to the common function of the framework.
The function identifier B need not have a one-to-one relationship with the content keyword. The resolution unit 13 may generate the same function identifier B from a plurality of different content keywords. Conversely, the same unit may generate one function identifier B when the content information 44 includes all of the different content keywords.
In this way, the resolution unit 13 finds a feature related to the infrastructure 27 such as a framework from the content information 44 and generates a function identifier B therefrom. The correspondence between one or more content keywords and function identifiers is given in advance to the deployment device 21 as a correspondence table, conversion rules, and the like.
The resolution unit 13 combines the requested function name 43 and the generated function identifiers A and B included in the AP configuration information 40 to generate the requested function 1 corresponding to the AP name 32 (S16). Here, combining means generating a union of the function identifiers of the requested function name 43 and the function identifiers A and B.
For example, when the function identifier A is {A1}, the function identifier B is {B1, B2, P1}, and the requested function name 43 is {C1, P1}, the requested function 1 corresponding to the AP name 32 is {A1 , B1, B2, C1, P1}.
The resolution unit 13 repeatedly generates the request function 1 by the number of AP names 32 extracted from the system configuration information 30.
Subsequently, the resolution unit 13 combines all the generated request functions 1 to generate the request function 2 (S21). The combining process here is the same as S16.
The resolution unit 13 searches the infrastructure configuration storage unit 11, selects and acquires the infrastructure configuration information 50 in which the function name group 55 includes all the function identifiers included in the requested function 2 (S22).
For example, it is assumed that the function identifier included in the request function 2 is {F1, F2, F3}. When the function name 51 of a certain infrastructure configuration information 50 is F1, the implementation function 53 of the infrastructure 27 indicated by the infrastructure implementation name 54 is {F1, F2}, and the inclusion function name 52 is {F3}, the resolution unit 13 The corresponding infrastructure configuration information 50 is selected. However, when the function identifier included in the requested function 2 is {F1, F2, F3, F4}, the same unit does not select the infrastructure configuration information 50.
Next, the resolution unit 13 transmits all the acquired AP configuration information 40 and the selected infrastructure configuration information 50 to the synthesis unit 14 (S23).
FIG. 8 is an operation flowchart of the deployment unit 15. First, the deployment unit 15 receives the AP configuration information 40 and the infrastructure configuration information 50 from the combining unit 14 (S31). Next, the deployment unit 15 requests and receives the infrastructure 27 having the infrastructure implementation name 54 included in the received infrastructure configuration information 50 from the infrastructure management apparatus 26 (S32).
The deployment unit 15 requests and receives the AP 25 having the AP name 41 included in each of the received AP configuration information 40 from the AP management device 24 (S33), and sends the received infrastructure 27 and AP 25 to the execution device 23. Transmit (S34).
The execution device 23 receives the program transmitted from the deployment unit 15 and performs installation. For this reason, the execution device 23 includes an installation program in advance. Alternatively, the execution device 23 may include only a basic OS for receiving a program in advance, and an installation program for each program may be included in the AP 25 and the infrastructure 27 and transmitted from the deployment device 21.
The deployment device 21 may not include the system configuration storage unit 12 and the synthesis unit 14. In this case, a user such as a person in charge of system construction directly inputs the AP name from the input / output device 16 to the resolution unit 13 and outputs the infrastructure implementation name 54 selected by the resolution unit 13 to the deployment unit 15.
The deployment device 21 of this embodiment can select the infrastructure 27 required by the AP 25 and deploy it to the execution device 23. The reason is that the deployment apparatus 21 selects the infrastructure 27 by comparing the requested function name 43 of the AP configuration information 40 with the function name group 55 of the infrastructure configuration information 50. For this reason, neither the developer of the AP 25 nor the person in charge of system construction need to input information about which infrastructure 27 is used for the service system, and the system construction becomes easy.
Furthermore, the person in charge of system construction can deploy the infrastructure 27 based on the requirements unique to the system and can construct a highly flexible system. The reason is that the deployment device 21 replaces the selected infrastructure configuration information 50 with the customization information 330 under a predetermined condition.
== Second Embodiment ==
The deployment system 20 according to the second exemplary embodiment of the present invention has a desired system configuration by combining a plurality of infrastructures 27 when there is no infrastructure 27 that satisfies all of the requested function names 43 required by one or more APs 25. Realize.
The operation flowchart of the resolution unit 13 in this embodiment is obtained by inserting the flowchart of FIG. 9 between the connectors 2 and 3 of FIG. The deployment system 20 of the present embodiment is the same as the first embodiment in other points.
In the present embodiment, the resolution unit 13 tries to select the infrastructure configuration information 50 that includes all the function identifiers included in the requested function 2 in the function name group 55 (S22 in FIG. 7), and this cannot be done. (N in S22-1 of FIG. 9), the infrastructure configuration storage unit 11 is searched, and a plurality of infrastructure configuration information 50 satisfying the following conditions is selected and acquired (S24).
a) A combination of function identifiers of the function name group 55 of the plurality of infrastructure configuration information 50 (union) includes all the function identifiers included in the request function 2.
b) Each of the function name groups 55 of the plurality of infrastructure configuration information 50 includes a function identifier for the mutual coupling function. One specific example is that the plurality of infrastructure configuration information 50 includes one infrastructure configuration information 50 including a function identifier for a browser and other infrastructure configuration information 50 including a function identifier for providing a plug-in function. This is the case. In another specific example, the plurality of infrastructure configuration information 50 includes one infrastructure configuration information 50 including a function identifier for Java (registered trademark) Enterprise Edition compatible server software, and the server software. In some cases, the infrastructure configuration information 50 includes a function identifier for a commonly provided function.
The procedure by which the resolution unit 13 acquires a plurality of infrastructure configuration information 50 (S22-1 and S24) is as follows, for example.
The requested function 2 includes function identifiers F1 and F3, the function name 51 of the first infrastructure configuration information 50 is the function identifier F1, the infrastructure implementation name 54 is identified by I1, I1, and the implementation function (implementation function) Assume that the function identifier of name 53) is F1, F2 and P3 +. At this time, since the function identifier F3 included in the requested function 2 is not included in the function name group 55 of the first infrastructure configuration information 50, the resolution unit 13 does not select the first infrastructure configuration information 50 alone (see FIG. 9 S22-1 N).
Next, the resolution unit 13 individually acquires the infrastructure configuration information 50 including the function identifiers F1 and P3 + and the function identifiers F3 and P3- in the function name group 55 (S24). As a result, the first infrastructure configuration information 50 described above and, for example, the second infrastructure configuration information 50 having the function name 51 of F3, the installed function name 53 of F3, and P3- are selected. Here, the function identifiers P3 + and P3- indicate the mutual coupling functions that can be combined. When the second infrastructure configuration information 50 cannot be retrieved, the resolution unit 13 interrupts the process.
After selecting the plurality of infrastructure configuration information 50, the resolution unit 13 generates new infrastructure configuration information 50 including the infrastructure implementation name 54 and the function name group 55 of all the selected infrastructure configuration information 50 (S25). Finally, the resolution unit 13 transmits all the acquired AP configuration information 40 and the newly generated infrastructure configuration information 50 to the synthesis unit 14 (S26), and ends the operation.
When the function name group 55 has selected the infrastructure configuration information 50 that includes all the function identifiers included in the requested function 2 (S22 in FIG. 7) (Y in S22-1 in FIG. 9), the resolution unit 13 7 S23 is executed.
The deployment device 21 of the present embodiment can also construct a service system that uses a complex AP 25. The reason is that the resolution unit 13 configures a service system in which the AP 25 can operate by combining a plurality of infrastructures 27.
== Third embodiment ==
The deployment system 20 according to the third embodiment of the present invention generates setting item values to be applied to the infrastructure 27. The setting item value is a value for setting the environment of the infrastructure 27, and is transmitted from the deployment device 21 to the execution device 23 together with the infrastructure 27. The installer of the execution device 23, the infrastructure 27, or the like sets the operating environment of the infrastructure 27 based on the value.
In the present embodiment, the infrastructure configuration information 50 (FIG. 3) may include default values of setting items not shown. Further, the customization information 330 (FIG. 4) of the system configuration information 30 may include setting item values not shown. The operation flowchart of the combining unit 14 in the present embodiment is obtained by replacing the connector 5 and subsequent parts in FIG. 5 with the flowchart in FIG.
The deployment system 20 of the present embodiment is the same as the first embodiment in other points.
In this embodiment, the composition unit 14 determines whether or not the customization information 330 includes a setting item value after S1 to S6 in FIG. 5 (S6-1). If included (Y in S6-1), the synthesizing unit 14 sets the setting item value (additional writing or overwriting of the default value) in the infrastructure configuration information 50 received from the resolution unit 13 (S6-2).
Thereafter, the combining unit 14 transmits the AP configuration information 40 and the infrastructure configuration information 50 to the deployment unit 15 (S7: same as FIG. 5).
The deployment device 21 of the present embodiment can construct a flexible system. The reason is that the synthesis unit 14 sets and customizes setting item data that determines the operation of the infrastructure 27.
== Fourth embodiment ==
FIG. 11 shows the configuration of the deployment device 21 according to the fourth embodiment. The deployment device 21 includes an AP configuration storage unit 10, an infrastructure configuration storage unit 11, a resolution unit 13, and a deployment unit 15.
The AP configuration storage unit 10 stores AP configuration information 40 including an AP name 41 and a requested function name 43 for each of the plurality of APs 25. The infrastructure configuration storage unit 11 stores infrastructure configuration information 50 including an infrastructure implementation name 54 and a function name group 56 for each of the plurality of infrastructures 27.
The resolution unit 13 acquires the AP name, creates a list of requested function names 43 in the AP configuration information 40 including the acquired AP name, and the function name group 55 includes the requested function name 43 in the list. The configuration information 50 is selected, and the infrastructure implementation name 54 included in the selected infrastructure configuration information 50 is output. The deployment unit 15 outputs the infrastructure 27 having the infrastructure implementation name 54 to the execution device 23.
The deployment device 21 of this embodiment can select the infrastructure 27 required by the AP 26 and deploy it to the execution device 23. The reason is that the deployment apparatus 21 selects the infrastructure 27 by comparing the requested function name 43 of the AP configuration information 40 with the function name group 55 of the infrastructure configuration information 50.
While the present invention has been described with reference to the embodiments (and examples), the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments (and examples).
