System and method for quickly arranging and updating virtual environment in cloud computing platform

Abstract

The invention discloses a system and a method for quickly arranging and updating virtual environment in a cloud computing platform. The method includes that a configuration file is used to describe the virtual environment and analyzed to be a model, model difference is calculated to acquire operation sets, the operation sets are sequenced and then executed, a programming interface and a hardware source pool provided by the cloud computing platform are used to operate virtual hardware in the process of execution, a programming interface provided by an automated software configuration management tool to operate software, needed virtual environment is acquired after execution of all operations is completed, and the above process can be repeated by modifying the configuration file and resubmitting the same to update the virtual environment which is arranged already. By the system and method, work when a user arranges the virtual environment is greatly simplified from multiple aspects, capability in updating the virtual environment is provided, arranging and updating processes are accelerated, and multiplexing capability of configuration is improved. The system and the method have wide application and popularization prospect.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to cloud computing technology, in particular to a rapid deployment and update virtual environment system and a method thereof in a cloud computing platform. Background technique [0002] With the continuous popularization of cloud computing, users have more and more demands for cloud computing products, from a single acquisition of virtual hardware facilities, that is, virtual machines, virtual storage, and virtual networks, to obtaining a complete software system configured on virtual hardware. virtual environment. A virtual environment consists of virtual hardware and a software system installed on the virtual hardware, and the software system includes a series of interrelated software packages. Users can use the virtual environment to host personal websites, set up Hadoop clusters for scientific experiments, and test distributed systems under development. [0003] The virtual environment can be provided on demand. When users ...

Problems solved by technology

[0004] However, the above-mentioned prior art still has the following defects: the method for configuring the virtual environment is complicated, such as the configuration file format is complicated, the software package configuration is complicated, and the user needs to manually define the workflow to describe the deployment process; The software package configuration definition that works in one virtual environment configuration needs to be redefined in another virtual environment; the environment after deployment has no update capability, and users need to manually operate virtual resources and software to update; the deployment speed is slow, mainly due to virtual hardware In particular, the generation of the virtual machine takes a certain amount of time
