Network protocol conversion method and system for container cloud platform

Abstract

The invention discloses a network protocol conversion method and system for a container cloud platform, the method runs on a network protocol converter, the network protocol converter is arranged on a load balancing node of the container cloud platform in a containerization manner, and the method comprises the following steps: receiving a data access request packet and detecting an IP address format of the data access request packet; if the data access request packet is an IPv6 data access request packet, converting the IPv6 data access request packet into an IPv4 data access request packet, and sending the IPv4 data access request packet to a load balancer; the load balancer is arranged on a load balancing node of the container cloud platform in a containerization mode and used for forwarding an IPv4 data access request packet to a responding container group, and the load balancing node serves as an access entrance of the container cloud platform to convert the received IPv6 data access request packet into the IPv4 data access request packet and forward the IPv4 data access request packet to the responding container group. And the container cloud platform of which the internal communication network only supports the IPv4 network protocol can support the access of the IPv6 request.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of network protocol conversion of a container cloud platform, in particular to a method and system for network protocol conversion of a container cloud platform, a computer-readable storage medium, and electronic equipment. Background technique [0002] Currently in the transition period from IPv4 to IPv6, most of the internal communication networks of previously deployed container cloud platforms (such as Kubernetes clusters) only support one network protocol, IPv4. To respond to the request packet, it is necessary to upgrade the container cloud platform whose internal communication network only supports IPv4, so that it can cope with the scenario where IPv4 and IPv6 network protocol data request packets coexist. [0003] Use related technologies to upgrade the container cloud platform that only supports IPv4 so that it can support dual stacks. It is necessary to use a load balancer that supports both IPv4 and IPv6 a...

Problems solved by technology

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is that the existing system cannot simultaneously support the load balancer for IPv4 and IPv6 access as the access entrance of the container cloud platform, and the components in the container cloud platform cannot simultaneously support both IPv4 and IPv6 network protocol data request packets. receiving and processing; the load balancer is deployed as a separate physical device, and the network communication between the load balancer and the cluster also has a large overhead; the invention provides a network protocol conversion method and system for a container cloud platform. The invention also provides a network protocol conversion system of the container cloud platform, which can perform network protocol conversion on the IPv6 data request packet for accessing the container cloud platform through the network protocol converter, without performing network protocol conversion on each component in the existing container cloud platform. Protocol upgrade and transformation, low cost and small workload; realize network protocol conversion through software method, without using physical equipment, which reduces the cost of network protocol conversion; deploy network protocol converter and The load balancer incorporates the entire system into the management of the container cloud platform, making full use of the advantages of the container cloud platform, making the system management convenient and highly reliable, and used to solve the defects caused by existing technologies
