Embodiment Construction

[0073] The application will be described in further detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0074] In a typical configuration of the present application, the terminal, the device serving the network and the trusted party all include one or more processors (CPUs), input / output interfaces, network interfaces and memory.

[0075] Memory may include non-permanent storage in computer readable media, in the form of random access memory (RAM) and / or nonvolatile memory such as read only memory (ROM) or flash RAM. Memory is an example of computer readable media.

[0076] Computer-readable media, including both permanent and non-permanent, removable and non-removable media, can be implemented by any method or technology for storage of information. Information may be computer readable instructions, data structures, modules of a program, or other data. Examples of computer storage media include, but are not limited to, phase change memory (PRAM), static random acce...

Abstract

The invention provides a method and a device for controlling the metadata access of a virtual machine. Compared with the prior art, a virtual machine physical device subjects a metadata access requestto tunnel encapsulation treatment to obtain a corresponding first data message according to the tunnel identifier information corresponding to a target virtual machine. A metadata service device subjects the first data message to tunnel decapsulation treatment after receiving the first data message from the corresponding virtual machine physical device so as to obtain the metadata access requestrelated to the target virtual machine and the tunnel identifier information corresponding to the target virtual machine. Meanwhile, the metadata service device acquires the metadata information of thetarget virtual machine according to the tunnel identifier information corresponding to the target virtual machine. According to the invention, based on the network tunnel technology, the metadata access request and a request response result are subjected to encapsulation treatment or decapsulation treatment, so that the identity recognition is achieved. Therefore, a user can safely and quickly access to the required metadata information.

Description

technical field [0001] The present application relates to the field of computers, and in particular to a technology for controlling virtual machine metadata access. Background technique [0002] A virtual machine (Virtual Machine) refers to a complete computer system that is simulated by software and has complete hardware system functions and runs in a completely isolated environment. Virtual machine metadata (metadata) is the key-value pair of the virtual machine's own attributes, such as the virtual machine's IP, MAC, disk size, number of CPUs, image name, and so on. [0003] At present, for the virtual machines provided by cloud services, each virtual machine has many of its own attributes stored in the cloud service, and users cannot directly obtain them from the virtual machines. But actual users want to be able to know these attributes, for example, users want to know the ID and image name of their own machines to automatically start the corresponding services. HTTP ...
