Description

Virtual machine placement strategy configuration method and device

The present invention relates to the field of communications, and in particular to a method and apparatus for configuring a virtual machine placement policy. Background technique

Virtualization technology is the foundation of the cloud service platform. Virtualization technology refers to dividing the physical resources into multiple logical partitions through the virtualization management software Hypervisor on the physical server. Each partition is isolated from each other and becomes an independent virtual machine. Virtual machines are no different from physical servers for operating systems and applications. They can share the resources of the same physical server.

The virtualization platform supports virtual system rental services for cloud service users. A so-called virtual system refers to a collection of resources that contain a set of virtual machines, storage, and networks, and are connected or associated with each other. In order to facilitate the user to host the traditional application system on the virtual system, the virtualization platform also provides the cloud service user with the deployment and management functions of the virtual system, including deploying the application of the traditional application system on the virtual machine, and the location of the existence. A placement policy feature is provided between dependencies of the application.

The so-called placement policy function mainly refers to the application in the application system after the application is deployed in the virtual machine. Because some applications depend on fast communication with each other or depend on common hardware, two or more are required. Virtual machines can be deployed as close as possible; or because of high reliability or failure recovery between applications, two or more virtual machines need to be separated as much as possible during deployment. Currently, the placement of virtual machines on the cloud service platform is controlled by placement policies, that is, affinity (Affinity) indicates that virtual machines should be deployed as close as possible. Typically, they are deployed on the same physical host or have fast network connections. Available on different hosts; Availability means that virtual machines should be deployed as much as possible, typically The approach is to deploy on different physical hosts.

Currently, the cloud service platform's placement policy for virtual machines is controlled by placing a policy group. The so-called placement policy group is a virtual group that satisfies a placement policy, and specifies that the virtual machine can only be a member of a placement policy group. However, for some traditional applications, there is a close relationship between an application and some applications in the application system, such as: there are fast communication requirements between each other, and there are available relationships with other parts of the application, such as: Is a backup relationship. As a result, assigning a placement policy group to a virtual machine will not meet the actual deployment requirements. In addition, for the user of the application system, it may be desirable for a placement policy group to assign an exclusive resource or a shared relationship to the physical resource.

However, the placement policy group control method adopted by the cloud service platform in the current specification cannot meet the actual usage requirements, and the resource sharing relationship between the placement policy group and other placement policy groups cannot be specified.
