Description

应用管理方法及管理单元 技术领域
本发明实施例涉及网络功能虚拟化(Network Functions Virtualization,简称NFV)技术,尤其涉及一种应用管理方法及管理单元。
背景技术
随着云技术的发展,虚拟化技术作为云计算的基础技术,在企业数据中心、大规模集群计算领域得到大规模使用。虚拟化技术将一台计算机虚拟为多台虚拟逻辑计算机,即虚拟机(Virtual Machine,简称VM)。虚拟机一般使用虚拟网卡、虚拟交换机以及连接机框内交换机或者架顶交换机的服务器物理网口,与服务器外部进行数据通信。
随着网络功能虚拟化(Network Functions Virtualization,简称NFV)技术的发展,运营商希望利用自身的传输通道优势,在运营商网络里紧密结合第三方(Over The Top,简称OTT)应用以实现更多样化的业务处理功能。第三方服务商一般只提供基于内容服务的应用(Application,简称APP),不提供应用管理和控制相关功能单元,比如操作维护单元(Operation and Maintain Unit,简称OMU),在网络中需要有一个应用代理单元对应用进行管理和控制。由于应用和应用集成平台之间存在网络拓扑关系,即应用集成平台能对应用进行应用程序编程接口(应用lication Programming Interface,简称API)管理,或者应用和应用集成平台之间存在业务数据流等,因此应用代理单元可以是一个独立的单元,也可以是对应应用集成平台的管理和控制单元。
在现有的NFV环境下,要实现对第三方服务商提供的应用进行管理和控制,成为亟待解决的问题。
发明内容

结合第一方面,在第一方面的第一种可能的实施方式中,上述的第一请求消息中携带应用的描述符标识,其中,应用的描述符包括应用的部署信息以及以下信息中的至少一种:第一连接信息,该第一连接信息为应用代理单元信息或应用与应用代理单元之间的连接信息;第二连接信息,该第二连接信息为应用集成平台信息或应用与应用集成平台之间的连接信息。

上述实施方式提供的应用管理方法,通过引入应用的描述符,对应用进行独立部署和生命周期管理,使得应用在NFV环境下部署和生命周期管理更加灵活。同时通过应用描述符中的连接信息或者第一请求消息中携带的连接信息,可以建立应用与应用代理单元之间的连接或应用与应用集成平台之间 的连接,实现对该应用进行动态管理。应用的OMU模块由独立的应用代理单元来承担,一个应用代理单元负责一到多个应用的运维和操作,每个应用不需要包括OMU模块,减少了应用占用的资源。
结合第一方面,在第一方面的第三种可能的实施方式中,上述第一请求消息中携带应用代理单元的描述符标识,应用代理单元的描述符包括应用代理单元信息和应用的部署信息。

结合第一方面以及上述第一方面的第三种可能的实施方式,上述第一请求消息中还携带第二连接信息,该第二连接信息为应用集成平台信息或应用与应用集成平台之间的连接信息。
上述实施方式提供的应用管理方法,通过引入应用代理单元的描述符,运营商可以动态地修改应用代理单元厂商提供的描述符信息,在该应用代理单元的描述符里动态加入应用的部署信息,通过应用代理单元的生命周期管理操作来对应用进行生命周期管理,实现对该应用进行动态管理,没有必要每次修改应用信息都要通知应用代理单元来修改,简化了操作过程。
本发明实施例第二方面,提供一种应用管理方法,该方法由NFV系统中的第二管理单元执行,该方法包括:

具体实施方式
网络功能虚拟化旨在采用演进中信息技术(Information Technology,简称IT)领域的虚拟化技术,将大量的网络设备类型统一到符合产业标准的高容量服务器、交换机和存储设备上去实现,从而改变网络运营商构建和运营网络以及网络业务(Network Service,简称NS)的方式。
NFV通过软硬件解耦及功能抽象,使网络设备功能不再依赖于专用硬件,资源可以充分灵活共享,实现新业务的快速开发和部署,并基于实际业务需求进行应用的自动部署、弹性伸缩、故障隔离和自愈等能力。NFV通过可在一系列符合产业标准的服务器硬件上运行的软件来实现网络功能,从而改变了网络的架构,并且因为这些软件可以按照要求动态地移动或者实例化于网络中不同的位置而不必安装新设备,即产生虚拟网络功能(Virtualized Network Function,简称VNF)。
VNF对应于传统非虚拟化网络中的物理网络功能(Physical Network Function,简称PNF),如VNF可以为虚拟化的演进的分组核心网(Evolved  Packet Core,简称EPC)节点、移动管理实体(Mobile Management Entity,简称MME)、服务网关(Serving Gateway,简称SGW)、分组数据网关(Packet Data Network-Gateway,简称PGW)等。VNF和PNF拥有相同的功能性行为和外部接口。
为了方便理解,首先给出一种NFV系统的架构,图1为本发明实施例提供的一种NFV系统的架构示意图,如图1所示,该架构中的逻辑功能单元包括:
(1)VNF单元:对应于传统非虚拟化网络中的PNF,VNF和PNF拥有相同的功能性行为和外部接口。由于业务需要,运营商需要在平台网元上部署非平台网元提供方提供的应用,该非平台网元提供方(第三方)提供的应用需要调用平台网元的一些网络能力来提供某种基于内容的业务,该第三方应用同时也提供服务供现网中其他应用或者平台网元调用。由于第三方只提供基于内容的应用,不提供一个网元所具备的操作和维护功能,应用需要接入现网中其他的应用代理单元对其进行管理和控制,而且应用和其对应的集成平台之间存在交互,即应用对应的集成平台能对应用进行API的管理或者应用和其对应的集成平台之间存在业务数据流等。NFV系统中的VNF单元包括应用、应用集成平台和应用代理单元,应用代理单元和应用集成平台可以是同一个VNF单元,也可以是不同的VNF单元。应用可以调用其对应的集成平台提供的网络服务能力,也可以向其对应的集成平台注册自己所能提供的服务,应用和应用集成平台之间存在网络拓扑关系。
(2)网元管理单元(Element Management,简称EM):对VNF单元执行故障管理、配置管理、计费管理、性能管理、安全管理(FaultManagement,Configuration Management,Accounting Management,Performance Management,Security Management,简称FCAPS)功能。
(3)NFV基础设施单元(NFV Infrastructure,简称NFVI):NFVI由硬件资源、虚拟资源以及虚拟层组成。其中,所述虚拟资源指代通过软件模拟的具有硬件系统功能的资源;所述虚拟层指代具有高级资源管理功能的虚拟主机平台。通常,虚拟层和硬件资源的组合是一个能够为VNF提供所需虚拟资源的实体。
(4)虚拟基础设施管理单元(Virtualised Infrastructure Manager(s),简称 VIM):包括用来控制、管理计算和存储虚拟网络资源以及该虚拟网络资源的虚拟化实体。
(5)NFV编排器(NFV Orchestrator,简称NFVO):负责对NFV资源(包括NFVI和VNF资源)进行编排和管理,以及在NFVI上实现NFV业务拓扑。
(6)VNF管理单元(VNF Manager(s),简称VNFM):负责VNF实例的生命周期的管理。
(7)运营与业务支持系统(Operations and Business Support Systems,简称OSS/BSS):指电信运营商的一体化、资源信息共享的支持系统,它主要由网络管理、系统管理、计费、营业、账户和客户服务等部分组成。
其中,NFVO,VNFM与VIM共同组成NFV管理和网络编排(NFV Management and Network Orchestrator,简称NFV-MANO)架构。
图1所示的NFV架构中的接口包括:
(1)VNF单元和NFVI之间的接口Vn-Nf:描述NFVI提供给VNF单元的执行环境。
(2)NFVO和VNFM之间的接口Or-Vnfm:NFV-MANO的内部接口,用于:VNFM发送资源相关的请求给NFVO(例如资源的授权、验证、预留、分配等);VNF的生命周期管理;NFVO发送配置信息给VNFM,使得VNF能够根据VNF转发图被合理地配置;收集VNF的状态信息用作VNF的生命周期管理。
(3)VIM和VNFM之间的接口Vi-Vnfm:NFV-MANO的内部接口,用于:VNFM发送资源分配请求;虚拟硬件资源与路由配置以及状态信息(如事件)交换。
(4)NFVO和VIM之间的接口Or-Vi:NFV-MANO的内部接口,用于:NFVO发送资源预留请求;NFVO发送资源分配请求;虚拟硬件资源与路由配置以及状态信息(如事件)交换。
(5)NFVI和VIM之间的接口Nf-Vi:根据资源分配请求进行特定的资源分配;转发虚拟资源状态信息;虚拟硬件资源与路由配置以及状态信息(如事件)交换。
(6)OSS/BSS和NFVO之间的接口Os-Ma-nfvo:请求业务生命周期管理;请求VNF生命周期管理;转发NFV相关的状态信息;交换策略管理信息; 交换数据分析信息;转发NFV相关的计费和使用记录;交换容量和存货信息。
(7)EM和VNFM之间的接口Ve-Vnfm:请求VNF生命周期管理;交换配置信息;交换进行业务生命周期管理所必须的状态信息。
在上述NFV架构的基础上,可以通过多个VNF实现具有特定功能的NS。传统网络实现的端到端的NS是完全由PNF构成的。NFV架构中实现的端到端NS则一般为VNF,也可混合使用PNF和VNF。每个网络功能实现的功能和对外接口其实与PNF还是VNF无关。VNF和VNF/PNF之间链接构成的拓扑关系采用VNF转发图(VNF Forwarding Graph,简称VNFFG)来描述。VNF由虚拟网络功能组件(Virtualized Network Function Component,简称VNFC)组成。每个VNF的特性由相应的虚拟网络功能描述符(Virtualised Network Function Descriptor,简称VNFD)来描述,VNFD是服务商提供的用来部署VNF的模板,每个VNFC由相应的虚拟部署单元(Virtualized Deployment Unit,简称VDU)来描述。在VNFFG实例化之后,VNF转发视图记录(VNF Forwarding Graph Record,简称VNFFGR)就指向了用来实例化VNF转发视图的VNF、PNF和虚拟链路。
下面将结合本发明实施例中的附图,对本发明实施例中的技术方案进行清楚、完整地描述,显然,所描述的实施例仅仅是本发明一部分实施例,而不是全部的实施例。基于本发明中的实施例,本领域普通技术人员在没有做出创造性劳动前提下所获得的所有其他实施例,都属于本发明保护的范围。
本发明的下述实施例中的术语“第一”、“第二”等是用于区别类似的对象,而不必用于描述特定的顺序或先后次序。应该理解这样使用的数据在适当情况下可以互换,以便这里描述的实施例能够以除了在这里图示或描述的内容以外的顺序实施。
实施例一

S2,第二管理单元接收第一管理单元发送的第一请求消息;
S3,第二管理单元根据第一请求消息部署应用,并根据第一请求消息执行建立应用与应用代理单元之间的连接和建立应用与应用集成平台之间的连接中的至少一种。
具体的,在本实施例中,第二管理单元根据第一请求消息部署应用包括但不仅限于对应用进行实例化、扩缩容、更新以及生命周期管理等。
其中,应用代理单元负责该应用的操作和维护管理,应用与应用代理单元之间的连接用于应用代理单元对应用进行管理。应用与应用集成平台之间的连接用于应用集成平台对应用进行调度或者应用集成平台与应用进行数据交互,以使应用可以调用该集成平台提供的网络服务,也可以向集成平台注册自己所能提供的服务。应用代理单元和应用集成平台可以是同一个网元或者VNF单元,也可以分别为一个网元或者分别为一个VNF单元。
进一步的,应用可以通过应用与应用代理单元之间的连接向应用代理单元发送应用的注册信息,应用代理单元根据应用的注册信息将应用添加为其管理对象,负责对应用进行操作和维护管理。应用可以通过应用与应用集成平台之间的连接向应用集成平台发送注册信息,应用集成平台根据应用的注册信息对应用进行调度或者与应用进行数据交互。需要说明的是,应用集成平台对应用的调度包括应用集成平台对应用提供的业务进行调度。相应的,应用集成平台与应用之间的数据交互包括应用集成平台提供的业务和应用提供的业务之间的数据交互。
本实施例提供的应用管理方法,通过第一管理单元向第二管理单元发送第一请求消息,第二管理单元接收该第一请求消息后,根据该第一请求消息部署应用并至少建立应用与应用代理单元之间和应用与应用集成平台之间的一种连接。可以实现在NFV架构下,灵活部署一个非平台网元提供方提供的 应用。同时由于,应用与应用代理单元之间的连接可以用于应用代理单元对应用进行管理,应用与应用集成平台之间的连接可以用于应用集成平台对应用进行调度或者应用集成平台与应用进行数据交互,因此还可以实现对该应用进行动态地管理。
值得一提的是,本实施例在具体实施过程中,第一管理单元向第二管理单元发送的第一请求消息可以是应用的部署请求,也可以是应用代理单元的部署请求。这里的部署请求包括但不仅限于实例化、扩缩容、更新、修改等请求。
示例性的,第一管理单元向第二管理单元发送的第一请求消息是应用的部署请求。
作为一种可选的实施方式,可以在应用的部署请求中携带应用的描述符(Application Descriptor,简称APPD)标识,该APPD例如可以是第一管理单元(OSS/BSS、SO、NO、MEO)根据应用的需求以及运营商的策略、集成平台选择等信息生成的应用的部署模板。具体的,该APPD中可以包括应用的部署信息以及以下信息中的至少一种:1)第一连接信息,该第一连接信息为应用代理单元信息或应用与应用代理单元之间的连接信息;2)第二连接信息,该第二连接信息为应用集成平台信息或应用与应用集成平台之间的连接信息。

需要说明的是,上述可选实施方式中,第一管理单元(OSS/BSS、SO、NO、MEO)在生成APPD之后,会将APPD发送到NFVO,以便第二管理单元在接收到第一请求消息后,可以根据第一请求消息中携带的APPD标识获取相应的APPD。
上述可选实施方式,通过引入APPD,对应用进行独立部署,使得应用 在NFV环境下部署和生命周期管理更加灵活,减少了应用对应用代理单元本身功能的影响。同时通过APPD中的连接信息或者应用部署请求中携带的连接信息,可以建立应用与应用代理单元之间的连接或应用与应用集成平台之间的连接,实现对该应用进行动态管理。应用的OMU模块由独立的应用代理单元来承担,一个应用代理单元负责一到多个应用的运维和操作,每个应用不需要包括OMU模块,减少了应用占用的资源。
示例性的,第一管理单元向第二管理单元发送的第一请求消息是应用代理单元的部署请求,可以在应用代理单元的部署请求中携带应用代理单元的描述符标识。
可选的,应用代理单元的描述符例如可以是第一管理单元(OSS/BSS、SO、NO、MEO)根据应用的需求以及运营商的策略、集成平台选择等信息对应用代理单元的VNFD进行修改生成的应用代理单元的部署模板。该应用代理单元的部署模板中可以包括应用代理单元信息以及应用的部署信息。其中,应用代理单元信息具体可以是应用代理单元出厂时设计的内容,应用的部署信息具体可以是部署应用所需VM的VDU信息。

进一步的,作为另一种可选的实施方式,也可以在应用代理单元的部署请求中携带上述的第二连接信息,即应用集成平台信息或应用与应用集成平台之间的连接信息。
需要说明的是,上述可选实施方式中,第一管理单元(OSS/BSS、SO、NO、MEO)在生成应用代理单元的描述符之后,会将应用代理单元的描述符发送到NFVO,以便第二管理单元在接收到第一请求消息后,可以根据第一请求消息中携带的应用代理单元的描述符标识获取相应的应用代理单元的描述符。
上述可选实施方式,通过引入应用代理单元的描述符,运营商可以动态地修改应用代理单元厂商提供的描述符信息,在该应用代理单元的描述符里动态加入应用的部署信息,通过应用代理单元的生命周期管理操作来对应用进行生命周期管理,实现对该应用进行动态管理,没有必要每次修改应用信 息都要通知应用代理单元来修改,简化了操作过程。
