The present invention discloses a virtual instance creation method based on
cloud computing technology and a
cloud management platform. The method includes: a
cloud management platform acquiring a virtual instance creation request input by a tenant, the creation request including specification information of the virtual instance to be created, site information, and information about a cloud-native application to which the virtual instance to be created belongs. Based on the acquired information, the
cloud management platform selects a computing node whose specification matches the specification information to create the virtual instance; the computing node is configured in a
cloud data center that matches the site information; and the virtual instance is configured to run one or more
microservices in the cloud-native application. Based on the acquired information about the cloud-native application, the cloud management platform configures a virtual instance manager in the computing node to mark service packets sent by the virtual instance with an identifier of the cloud-native application to implement identification and recognition of service packets of the virtual instance, thereby simplifying access permission configuration operations and improving
security policy configuration efficiency.
