System for managing public cloud and on-premises network function, method and computer readable medium thereof

Abstract

This invention discloses a cross-public / private cloud network element supply and installation management system and method, aiming to solve the challenges of resource scheduling and lifecycle management (LCM) in multi-cloud environments. Specifically, this invention abstracts resources in different cloud environments, integrating clustered resources from different cloud environments into a unified management platform. This enables cross-cloud resource supply, modification, and dismantling operations, ensuring the flexibility and efficiency of resource configuration. This invention also provides a computer-readable medium for performing the method of this invention.

Claims

1. A cross-public-private cloud network element supply and installation management system, comprising: The management and network element script management module is used to abstract resources in public and private cloud environments, enabling cloud cluster resources in these environments to be included in different resource pools based on different resource conditions. It also converts user-provided standardized scripts or unified configurations into deployment or lifecycle management formats adapted to these public and private cloud environments through cross-cloud script conversion, facilitating unified management and scheduling across different cloud platforms. The resource statistics module periodically collects and updates the status of cloud cluster resources within each resource pool, including the total static resources and dynamic resource usage. The cloud cluster resource pool setting module connects to the management and network element script management module and the resource statistics module. It configures and manages each resource pool based on user needs and the cloud cluster resource status, performing resource filtering, grouping, and setting scheduling strategies. The deployment, modification, and lifecycle adapter module is used to deploy, modify, and deploy network element resources in different cloud environments. The cross-cloud shared database module is connected to the resource statistics module and is used to store and synchronize the real-time status data of each resource pool and record lifecycle changes in each cloud environment; and the southbound driver is connected to the racking and lifecycle adapter module and is used to transmit the adapted operation instructions to the interface of each cloud environment to perform the supply and unloading of cloud resources.

6. The cross-public / private cloud network element supply and installation management system as described in request item 1, wherein, The cloud cluster resource pool configuration module selects cloud environment resource clusters that meet the user's network element configuration requirements based on the user's network element configuration requirements, and then creates a new resource pool or adds an existing resource pool from the cloud environment resource cluster according to the user's needs, so as to allocate resources according to the scheduling strategy and record them in the cross-cloud shared database module.

7. A cross-public / private cloud network element supply and installation management method, comprising the following steps: The management and network element script management module abstracts the resources of the public and private cloud environments, enabling the cloud cluster resources of the public and private cloud environments to be included in different resource pools based on different resource conditions; and the standardized scripts or unified configurations provided by users are converted into deployment operation formats or lifecycle management operation formats adapted to the public and private cloud environments through a cross-cloud script conversion function, for unified management and scheduling across different cloud platforms; The resource statistics module periodically collects and updates the cloud cluster resource status in each resource pool, wherein... The cloud cluster resource status includes the static total resources and dynamic resource usage of each cluster; the cloud cluster resource pool configuration module configures and manages each resource pool according to the user's needs and the cloud cluster resource status of each resource pool, and performs resource filtering, resource grouping and sets scheduling policies for each resource pool; the delisting and lifecycle adapter module performs the listing, modification and delisting of network element resources in different cloud environments; Enables the cross-cloud shared database module to store and synchronize real-time status data of each resource pool, and record lifecycle changes in each cloud environment; And it enables the southbound driver to transmit the adapted operating instructions to the interfaces of each cloud environment to perform the supply and unloading of cloud resources.

8. The cross-public / private cloud network element supply and installation management method as described in request item 7, further comprising: The network element cross-cloud flow control module is responsible for the supply, modification, and disassembly of cross-cloud network elements, and performs cross-cloud scheduling based on the configuration of each resource pool to allocate resources according to resource requirements and scheduling strategies.
