Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of software configuration management technology, and in particular relates to a service bus cross-environment deployment and migration method and system based on configuration templates. Background Technology

[0002] With the deepening of enterprise informatization, Service Bus (ESB), as a core middleware for enterprise application integration, is widely used in microservice architectures, enterprise applications, and cloud-native systems. In practical applications, ESB configuration management spans multiple environments, including development, testing, pre-release, and production, and the accuracy and consistency of configuration directly affect the stable operation of the system. However, existing configuration management methods have the following technical problems:

[0003] First, there is significant configuration redundancy and high maintenance costs. In existing technologies, different deployment environments typically maintain their own independent configuration files, resulting in a large amount of duplicate configuration items. When the configuration structure changes, it is necessary to modify the configuration files in each environment one by one. This is not only labor-intensive but also highly susceptible to human error, leading to inconsistencies in configurations across environments and increasing system integration risks.

[0004] Second, the high coupling between environmental parameters and configuration structure leads to low migration efficiency. During cross-environment migration and deployment, environment-specific parameters (such as database addresses, interface endpoints, authentication keys, etc.) are tightly bound to the configuration structure, requiring manual intervention for each environment migration. This necessitates checking and replacing differing parameters item by item, making the migration process cumbersome and lacking in automation. This severely hinders the advancement of continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI / CD) processes.

[0005] Third, there is a lack of effective traceability mechanisms for configuration changes. Existing configuration management methods generally lack the recording and management of the configuration change process. Once a configuration change causes a system failure, it is difficult to quickly locate the changed content and restore the historical configuration, which brings great difficulties to operation and maintenance troubleshooting and results in insufficient system reliability assurance capabilities.

[0006] Fourth, there is a lack of multi-environment consistency verification methods. After configuration migration is completed, the lack of a systematic difference comparison and consistency verification mechanism makes it difficult to effectively detect problems such as missing configuration items or incorrect parameter input, resulting in significant configuration risks.

[0007] In summary, existing service bus configuration management technologies have significant shortcomings in terms of configuration reuse, parameter isolation, change traceability, and consistency assurance. There is an urgent need for a cross-environment configuration migration method that is clearly structured, highly automated, and allows for change traceability, in order to meet the actual needs of enterprise applications for efficient and reliable deployment of service buses. Summary of the Invention

[0008] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a service bus cross-environment deployment and migration method and system based on configuration templates. By constructing a configuration template system, an environment variable placeholder mechanism, and differential snapshot management, it achieves automated cross-environment migration of service bus configurations, thereby providing support for configuration management of microservice architectures, enterprise applications, and cloud-native applications. It has the technical effects of clear structure, parameter isolation, and traceable changes.

[0009] The technical solution of this invention is as follows:

[0010] On one hand, the present invention provides a service bus cross-environment deployment and migration method based on configuration templates, including the following steps:

[0011] The system systematically sorts out and abstracts all configuration items involved in the service bus, separates the environment-independent configuration structure from the environment-dependent configuration parameters, and builds a standardized configuration template.

[0012] For different environments, different environment variable mapping tables are established for environment-related configuration parameters. When performing cross-environment deployment migration, the values ​​of configuration parameters in the standardized configuration template are modified according to the environment variable mapping tables.

[0013] The system reads the standardized configuration template and the environment variable mapping table corresponding to the target environment, matches and replaces the placeholders in the standardized configuration template one by one, generates a complete configuration file suitable for the target environment, and automatically injects the complete configuration file into the target environment service bus runtime environment to complete the configuration deployment.

[0014] Furthermore, it also includes collecting the configuration status before and after cross-environment deployment migration and comparing the differences to generate a structured difference snapshot file; the configuration status refers to the actual values ​​of configuration parameters related to the environment.

[0015] Furthermore, the system comprehensively reviews and abstracts all configuration items involved in the service bus, separating environment-independent configuration structures from environment-dependent configuration parameters, and constructing standardized configuration templates, specifically as follows:

[0016] First, a systematic review of all configuration items involved in the service bus is conducted. Through configuration item abstraction and classification, the configuration items are divided into two categories: one is the configuration structure, which includes routing rule structure, endpoint definition structure, and policy configuration structure that are independent of the deployment environment; the other is the configuration parameter, which includes parameter items with different values ​​due to differences in the deployment environment, marked with placeholders in a unified format. The configuration structure and configuration parameter are then merged to finally output a standardized configuration template.

[0017] Furthermore, independent environment variable mapping tables are established for different environments. Each mapping table records the actual configuration parameter values ​​corresponding to each placeholder in the environment in the form of key-value pairs. The environment variable mapping tables and the standardized configuration templates are stored independently of each other and associated when the service bus is running, so as to achieve effective decoupling between the configuration structure and the environment parameters.

[0018] Furthermore, the process of reading the standardized configuration template and the environment variable mapping table corresponding to the target environment, matching and replacing the placeholders in the standardized configuration template one by one to generate a complete configuration file suitable for the target environment, and automatically injecting the complete configuration file into the target environment service bus runtime environment to complete the configuration deployment, specifically involves:

[0019] First, the standardized configuration template is read, and the complete configuration structure and all placeholders contained therein are loaded. Second, all placeholders in the standardized configuration template are traversed, and each placeholder is matched against the environment variable mapping table corresponding to the target environment. Then, parameter replacement is performed on the matched placeholders, replacing them with the actual configuration parameter values ​​corresponding to the environment variable mapping table of the target environment. Finally, an integrity check is performed to check for any residual placeholders not covered by the environment variable mapping table of the target environment or any abnormal situations where the configuration parameter values ​​are empty.

[0020] If the verification passes, meaning all placeholders have been successfully replaced, the generated complete configuration file will be automatically injected into the target environment service bus, completing this migration deployment. If the verification fails, the engine will output an error message, which will be checked and corrected by the operations and maintenance personnel before the verification is repeated until it passes.

[0021] On the other hand, the present invention also provides a service bus cross-environment deployment and migration system based on configuration templates, for implementing a service bus cross-environment deployment and migration method based on configuration templates, including:

[0022] The template building module is used to systematically sort out and abstract all configuration items involved in the service bus, separate the environment-independent configuration structure from the environment-dependent configuration parameters, and build standardized configuration templates.

[0023] The mapping table construction and parameter setting module is used to create different environment variable mapping tables for environment-related configuration parameters for different environments. When performing cross-environment deployment migration, the values ​​of configuration parameters in the standardized configuration template are modified according to the environment variable mapping table.

[0024] The template parsing engine reads the standardized configuration template and the environment variable mapping table corresponding to the target environment, matches and replaces the placeholders in the standardized configuration template one by one, generates a complete configuration file suitable for the target environment, and automatically injects the complete configuration file into the target environment service bus runtime environment to complete the configuration deployment.

[0025] The snapshot generation module is used to collect the configuration status before and after cross-environment deployment migration, compare the differences, and generate structured difference snapshot files.

[0026] Thirdly, this application proposes an electronic device, including: one or more processors, and a memory for storing instructions, which, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform the aforementioned service bus cross-environment deployment migration method based on configuration templates.

[0027] Fourthly, this application proposes a computer-readable storage medium storing executable instructions that, when executed, cause a processor to perform the described service bus cross-environment deployment migration method based on a configuration template.

[0028] Fifthly, this application proposes a computer program product, including a computer program or instructions that, when executed by a processor, implement the aforementioned service bus cross-environment deployment migration method based on a configuration template.

[0029] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0030] Firstly, by using a configuration template mechanism, different deployment environments share a unified configuration structure, eliminating configuration redundancy and significantly reducing the workload of configuration maintenance.

[0031] Secondly, by using the environment variable placeholder mechanism, the configuration structure and environment-specific parameters are completely decoupled, reducing manual intervention and improving the automation and accuracy of cross-environment migration.

[0032] Third, through the differential snapshot management mechanism, every configuration change is fully recorded, realizing full traceability of configuration changes and providing strong support for operation and maintenance troubleshooting and compliance auditing;

[0033] Fourth, the overall methodology and process are highly standardized, can be effectively integrated with CI / CD toolchains, and are applicable to various application scenarios such as microservice architecture, enterprise-level applications and cloud-native applications, with strong versatility and engineering practical value.

[0039] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0040] Example 1:

[0041] A service bus deployment and migration method based on configuration templates across environments, such as Figure 1 As shown, it includes the following steps:

[0042] S1: Systematically sort out and abstract all configuration items involved in the service bus, separate the environment-independent configuration structure from the environment-dependent configuration parameters, and build a standardized configuration template;

[0043] like Figure 2 In this step, the system first reviews all the configuration items involved in the service bus. The configuration items mainly cover three categories: service routing rules (including path mapping and load balancing strategies), interface endpoint definitions (including URL, protocol and timeout parameters), and security policies and log configurations (including authentication methods and log levels).

[0044] After collecting the above configuration items, the configuration items are divided into two categories through configuration item abstraction and classification operations: one category is the configuration structure, which is the routing rule structure, endpoint definition structure, and policy configuration structure that are independent of the deployment environment, serving as the fixed skeleton of the template; the other category is the configuration parameters, which are parameter items with different values ​​due to differences in the deployment environment, such as database address, interface hostname, authentication key, timeout duration, and log level, etc., which are marked with a uniform format placeholder, in the format ${variable name}, such as ${API_HOST}, ${DB_URL}, ${AUTH_KEY}, etc.

[0045] The two types of content mentioned above are combined to output a standardized configuration template. This configuration template has a fixed structure, complete placeholders, and is applicable to multiple deployment environments. Multiple environments share the same configuration framework, fundamentally eliminating configuration redundancy caused by each environment maintaining independent configuration files, and reducing configuration maintenance complexity.

[0046] S2: For different environments, establish different environment variable mapping tables for environment-related configuration parameters. When performing cross-environment deployment migration, modify the values ​​of configuration parameters in the standardized configuration template according to the environment variable mapping table.

[0047] In the standardized configuration template, all environment-related configuration parameters are marked as placeholders. The placeholder format is ${variable name}. See [link to template template]. Figure 3 For development, testing, and production environments, separate environment variable mapping tables are established. Each mapping table records the actual configuration parameter values ​​corresponding to each placeholder in that environment in the form of key-value pairs. For example, in the production environment mapping table, API_HOST corresponds to prod-api.corp, DB_URL corresponds to prod-db:5432, AUTH_KEY corresponds to the production environment-specific key, and ENV_NAME corresponds to production.

[0048] The environment variable mapping table and the configuration template are stored independently. They are associated through the template parsing engine at runtime on the service bus, which effectively decouples the configuration structure and environment parameters. It supports cross-environment migration by switching the environment variable mapping table without modifying the configuration template, and generates a complete configuration file suitable for the target environment. It supports parallel management of multiple environments, thereby reducing the frequency of manual intervention and the probability of parameter filling errors, and improving the accuracy and automation level of configuration migration.

[0049] S3: Read the standardized configuration template and the environment variable mapping table corresponding to the target environment, match and replace the placeholders in the standardized configuration template one by one, generate a complete configuration file suitable for the target environment, and automatically inject the complete configuration file into the target environment service bus runtime environment to complete the configuration deployment.

[0050] See Figure 5 In this step, the template parsing engine takes the standardized configuration template and the target environment variable mapping table as two inputs and performs the following operations in sequence:

[0051] First, the standardized configuration template is read, fully loading the configuration structure and all placeholders it contains. Second, the engine iterates through all placeholders in the standardized configuration template, matching them one by one in the environment variable mapping table corresponding to the target environment. Then, a parameter replacement operation is performed on the matched placeholders, replacing the placeholder ${variable name} with the actual configuration parameter value corresponding to the environment variable mapping table of the target environment. Finally, an integrity check is performed to check for any residual placeholders not covered by the environment variable mapping table of the target environment or any abnormal situations where the configuration parameter value is empty.

[0052] like Figure 4As shown, the integrity verification result is divided into two branches: If the verification passes (i.e., all placeholders have been successfully replaced), the engine will automatically inject the generated complete configuration file into the target environment service bus, completing this migration deployment, and the service bus will then run with the new configuration; if the verification fails, the engine will output an error message, clearly listing the list of unmatched placeholder names and warning messages indicating that the configuration parameter values ​​are empty. After the operations and maintenance personnel check and correct the error, the parsing process will be retried to ensure the accuracy and integrity of the configuration injection.

[0053] Synchronously perform configuration integrity checks, and provide error messages for unmatched placeholders or empty parameter values ​​to ensure the accuracy of configuration injection.

[0054] S4: Collect the configuration status before and after cross-environment deployment migration and compare the differences to generate a structured difference snapshot file; the configuration status refers to the actual values ​​of environment-related configuration parameters;

[0055] See Figure 5 In this step, before each cross-environment migration deployment, the system fully collects the configuration status of the current target environment, forming a snapshot of the pre-migration version; after the migration is completed, the configuration status is collected again, forming a snapshot of the post-migration version. Subsequently, the difference comparison engine compares the two snapshots item by item, identifies the changed configuration parameters, and generates a structured difference snapshot file.

[0056] The difference snapshot file records the following information: the name of the changed configuration parameter, the original parameter value before the change, the new parameter value after the change, the operation timestamp for this migration, the identifier of the person who performed the operation, and the identifier of the target environment. For example... Figure 4 As shown, in this migration, the timeout parameter was changed from 3000ms to 5000ms, and the log parameter was changed from INFO to DEBUG. All of the above changes were fully recorded in the difference snapshot.

[0057] After the differential snapshot files are persistently stored, they can serve two types of subsequent operations: First, change auditing and compliance query. Operation and maintenance personnel can retrieve configuration change records at any time point based on the snapshot history to meet compliance audit requirements. Second, fast rollback. When the migrated configuration causes system anomalies, the configuration can be restored to the state before the change based on the corresponding snapshot, shortening the fault recovery time and improving the efficiency of system fault response and the auditability of configuration management.

When performing cross-environment deployment migration, the values ​​of configuration parameters in the standardized configuration template are modified according to the environment variable mapping table.

[0062] The template parsing engine reads the standardized configuration template and the environment variable mapping table corresponding to the target environment, matches and replaces the placeholders in the standardized configuration template one by one, generates a complete configuration file suitable for the target environment, and automatically injects the complete configuration file into the target environment service bus runtime environment to complete the configuration deployment.

[0063] The snapshot generation module is used to collect the configuration status before and after cross-environment deployment migration, compare the differences, and generate structured difference snapshot files.
