DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, a preferred embodiment of a resource management device 200 of a virtual machine and its components will be described in detail.

The "virtual machine resource management parameter" in this embodiment refers to a parameter customized by the user for generating a virtual machine resource management rule, which may be a parameter value of various variables that can be defined by the user in the virtual machine resource management rule. In a preferred embodiment, the user-defined virtual machine resource management parameters may include, but are not limited to, a combination of one or more of the following various types of parameters:

(1) conditions for virtual machine resource changes;

(2) The granularity of virtual machine resource change: that is, the minimum unit of virtual machine resource change, such as the minimum changed vCPU granularity; the minimum changed memory GB granularity; the minimum changed virtual network card granularity GE / 1 0 GE;

(3) Billing method: for example, the user pays in advance; the service pack has thousands of users (monthly, year of the package, etc.); the user pays later; the user account is authorized to automatically deduct the fee;

(4) Information notification method: SMS notification, Ema i l notification, etc.;

Preferably, the above virtual machine resource management parameters may be completely defined by the user, or the operator may provide an optional template, and then the user defines the template based on the template.

The management rule generation module 2 01 generates a virtual machine resource management rule according to the above virtual machine resource management parameters. The virtual machine resource management rules should at least include the conditions for the virtual machine's resource changes. Preferably, the change condition may be: the user's traffic volume rises or falls, and the virtual machine resource currently used by the user does not exceed the maximum resource range available to the user.

The maximum resource range that the user can use is, for example, the largest vCPU running for the user's virtual machine, the maximum usable memory, the maximum usable bandwidth, and the like. The following is an example in which the management rule generation module 201 generates virtual machine resource management rules based on user-defined virtual machine resource management parameters.

In this example, {X1, X2, X3, X4.... } represents the granularity of the changes contained in the user-defined virtual machine resource management parameters, where XI, X2, X3, X4... represent various virtual machines. The granularity of change of resources. MAX { Zl, Z2, Z3, Z4... } represents the maximum resource range available to the user, where Zl, Z2, Z3, Z4... represent the maximum amount of resources available to users of various virtual machine resources. The user currently uses resources {Yl, Y2, Y3, Y4...}, where Yl, Y2, Y3, Y4... represent the usage of various virtual machine resources currently used by the user. Then the generated virtual machine resource management rules can be expressed as follows:

(1) If the user currently uses the total resource SUM (Yl, Y2, Y3, Y4, ... } equals the maximum resource range MAX { Zl, Z2, Z3, Z4... } that the user can use, it means that the user resource If the upper limit is reached, the user is notified that the resource has reached the upper limit and the service needs to be adjusted or the agreement is re-signed;

( 2 ) If the user currently uses the total resource SUM (Yl, Y2, Y3, Y4, ... } is less than the maximum resource range MAX (Z1, Z2, Z3, Z4... } available to the user, there are two cases : If the user traffic decreases and the virtual machine resources need to be reduced, the new virtual machine resources allocated for the user are

SUM { Yl, Y2, Y3, Υ 4, ... } = SUM { Yl, Υ2, Y3, Υ4, ... }

-SUM { XI, Χ2, Χ3, Χ4, ... } If the user traffic increases and virtual machine resources need to be added, the new virtual machine resources allocated for the user are:

SUM { Yl, Y2, Υ3, Υ4, ... } = SUM { Yl, Υ2, Υ3, Υ4, ... }

+ SUM { XI, Χ 2, Χ 3, Χ 4, ... } ; Preferably, in the case that the virtual machine resources are sufficiently sufficient relative to the user, the maximum resources available to the user may not be set or set for the specified user. Scope, and only the increase and decrease of user traffic as a virtual machine resource change More conditions.

Preferably, in the case where the user does not define the change granularity, the management rule generation module 201 may also generate the virtual machine resource management rule by using the amount of change of other fixed or non-fixed virtual machine resources.

Preferably, the management rule generating module 201 may further receive the virtual machine resource management parameter periodically updated by the user, and update the virtual machine resource management rule according to the updated virtual machine resource management parameter.

Preferably, the rise and fall of the user traffic may be reflected by the virtual machine state information sent by the virtual machine monitoring module received by the state information receiving module 202. The "virtual machine state information" in this embodiment refers to a message reflecting the running state of the virtual machine. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 3, the resource management device 200 of the virtual machine may further include an indicator delivery module 301 for Receiving the user-defined virtual machine resource management parameter, the virtual machine state monitoring indicator is sent to the virtual machine monitoring module, and the state information receiving module 202 receives the report that the virtual machine monitoring module reports according to the virtual machine state monitoring indicator. Virtual machine status information. In a variant, the virtual machine status monitoring indicator can also be defined on the virtual machine monitoring module side without being delivered by the virtual machine's resource management device.

Preferably, the virtual machine state monitoring indicator may include at least one of a virtual machine resource occupation indicator, a virtual machine service operation indicator, and an abnormality alarm indicator.

The virtual machine resource occupation indicator is, for example, the occupation status of resources such as a memory, a CPU, a disk, and a network. The virtual machine service running indicators are, for example, the running status of the memory, CPU usage, network packet delay, and disk I0PS (Input/Output Operations Per Second) of the main business process. The abnormal alarm indicator is, for example, an alarm threshold for specifying the monitoring status (such as the occupied status or running status of resources such as memory, CPU, disk, and network). The virtual machine state information returned by the virtual machine state monitoring module correspondingly includes the virtual machine resource The at least one of the source occupancy indicator, the virtual machine service operation indicator, and the abnormality alarm indicator exceeds a predetermined threshold; or the virtual machine state information includes the virtual machine resource occupation indicator, the virtual machine service operation indicator, and the abnormal alarm indicator. The current monitoring value of one.

In the case that the virtual machine state information includes an indication that each virtual machine state monitoring indicator exceeds a predetermined threshold, the resource allocation scheme is based on information indicating that the virtual machine resource is insufficient or excessive (corresponding to the rise and fall of the user service) indicated by the indication. The generation module may generate an allocation scheme for increasing or decreasing resources of the virtual machine according to the virtual machine resource management rule.

The virtual machine state information includes a monitoring target of the current monitoring of each virtual machine state monitoring indicator, and a change threshold is set, so that when the current monitoring value of the specified monitoring target included in the virtual machine state information exceeds the change threshold, the A resource allocation scheme for the virtual machine that changes (eg, increases or decreases) virtual machine resources.

First, the user-defined virtual machine resource management parameters include "CP U change granularity", and the management rule generation module generates the following virtual machine resource management rules: "When the virtual machine state information contains CPU usage is higher than When the set change threshold (that is, the condition for changing the virtual machine resource) is satisfied, the virtual CP U resource corresponding to the CPU change granularity is added to the virtual machine. The resource allocation scheme generating module 203 currently monitors the CP U occupancy rate included in the virtual machine state information according to the virtual machine resource management rule H'J and the virtual machine state information received by the state information receiving module 220. When the value is higher than the set change threshold, the generation is added to the virtual machine and FIG. 4 shows the resource management device of the virtual machine according to another embodiment of the present invention.

The "virtual machine charging method" in this embodiment refers to a method for calculating a fee generated by a user using a virtual machine resource, such as a prepaid fee, a flow rate fee, a monthly fee, a special charge, etc., which is not in this embodiment. Make restrictions. The "virtual machine charging scheme" in this embodiment refers to a specific charging scheme for the current usage of the virtual machine resources of the user generated according to the virtual machine charging mode and the virtual machine state information. The virtual machine state information is associated with the resource allocation scheme of the virtual machine. Preferably, the charging scheme generating module 401 may also generate the virtual machine charging scheme according to the resource allocation scheme of the virtual machine and the virtual machine charging manner. .

As an example of generating a charging scheme, if the charging method in the virtual machine resource management rule for the user is prepaid, the charging scheme generated by the charging scheme generating module 401 is: checking whether the charging is sufficient or within a certain allowable range. Within, if not, notify the user to process according to the agreement. If the charging method is a service packet, the processing is not required; if the charging method is post-paid, the charging scheme generated by the charging scheme generating module 401 is: generating charging information, and writing the accounting database. If the charging method is to authorize the automatic deduction, the charging scheme generated by the charging scheme generating module 401 is: Check whether the account balance is sufficient. If not, the short message notifies the user to process according to the agreed protocol.
