Container network management system and method with high scalability

Abstract

The invention provides a container network management system and a method with high scalability, relates to the field of cloud computing, and specifically relates to a high-scalability network management system and a method formed by containers required by a cloud computing system. The container network management system with high scalability comprises a host address distributor, a network configuration manager, a network controller, and a container tunnel. The container network management method with high scalability includes: configuring container network parameters, configuring and activating one-to-one mapping from host addresses to container network segments, and sending and receiving data packets. According to the system and the method, the high-scalability and high-availability cloud computing system formed by the containers can be automatically controlled and managed, and the interoperability and the security between the containers of different hosts can be guaranteed.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of cloud computing, in particular to a highly scalable system network management system and method composed of containers. Background technique [0002] As the core technology of the new generation of cloud computing, container technology has gradually become the development focus of domestic and foreign cloud computing companies in recent years. For the core technology that constitutes a cloud computing system, high scalability is a necessary core technical feature. With the support of existing container technology, a host can run dozens or even hundreds of containers, but when the number of containers exceeds several hundred, one host is far from enough. At the same time, running containers with only one host machine will also affect high availability, that is, if one host machine fails, all user containers will not be able to run. Therefore, in order to achieve high scalability and high availability of ...

Problems solved by technology

The disadvantage of the above network address translation method is that due to the limitation of the network port of a single host, it cannot meet the extended scenario where multiple containers on the same host want to publish the same port

For example, if the two containers 192.168.1.1 and 192.168.1.2 in the host 172.16.1.1 both want port 80, they cannot both be published as port 8080 of 172.16.1.1, which will inevitably cause port conflicts
