Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of network technology of financial technology (Fintech), and in particular to a method and device for deploying a proxy container. Background Art

[0002] In recent years, with the development of computer technology, more and more technologies are applied in the financial field. The traditional financial industry is gradually transforming to financial technology (Fintech). However, due to the security and real-time requirements of the financial industry, higher requirements are also placed on technology. The implementation of computer technology requires the installation of corresponding business processes in the computer; such as log processes, monitoring processes, etc., so that the computer can handle business normally.

[0003] In the prior art, the business proxy process in the node server is installed directly on the host by using SSH (Secure Shell)\SCP (SSH copy); however, when installing or updating the business proxy process in a cluster with hundreds or thousands of hosts, this method requires installing or updating the business proxy process for each node server separately, which is a large workload and consumes huge manpower and material resources; the number of business proxy processes in the node server is large, and when the cluster is expanded, it is easy to miss the installation of the business proxy process on the expanded node server, resulting in data loss. Alternatively, the binary executable file of the business proxy process is directly built into the operating system image of the node server and installed with the host initialization. However, when the business proxy process needs to be updated, this method requires the node server's operating system to be repackaged and the system to be reinstalled through the existing server, which consumes server resources and still has a large workload. Summary of the invention

[0004] The embodiments of the present invention provide a method and device for deploying a proxy container, which are used to realize automatic deployment of a business process and monitoring of the running status, save resource usage, and reduce deployment costs.

[0005] In a first aspect, an embodiment of the present invention provides a method for deploying a proxy container, the method comprising:

[0006] The node server generates a container management instance with a set proxy function based on a container generation instruction of a container management platform; the container generation instruction is triggered by the container management platform based on an agent generation instruction of an agent server; the agent generation instruction is used to instruct the node server to deploy a container with the set proxy function; the node server generates a proxy container based on the container management instance; the life cycle of the proxy container is managed by the container management platform; the node server obtains an application file corresponding to the set proxy function from a file server based on the container management instance, and configures the application file to the proxy container, so that the proxy container has the set proxy function.

[0007] Using the above method, the proxy server generates a proxy generation instruction and sends the proxy generation instruction to the container management platform. The container management platform is triggered by the proxy generation instruction to obtain the container generation instruction, and then distributes the container generation instruction to each node server, so that each node server generates a container management instance with a set proxy function. In this way, the container management instance in each node server is the same. Further, each node server generates a proxy container according to the container management instance, obtains the application file corresponding to the set proxy function from the file server, and configures the application file into the proxy container, so that the proxy container has a proxy function. In this way, the automatic deployment of the proxy process in each node server is realized through the proxy server, the container management platform, the file server, and each node server. In addition, the container management platform can monitor the running status of the proxy container and the business process of the proxy container, and manage the life cycle of the proxy container. The automatic deployment of the business process and the running status monitoring are realized, which saves resource usage and reduces deployment costs.

[0008] In a possible design, the node server generates a proxy container based on the container management instance, including: the node server obtains a container image file from an image server based on the container management instance to generate the proxy container.

[0009] By adopting the above method, the node server can obtain the container image file from the image server based on the container management instance; that is, the container image file of the proxy container with different proxy functions can be stored in the image server, so that the proxy containers with different proxy functions share a container image file, and the proxy containers in different node servers and the same node server share a container image file. In this way, the operating environment of all proxy containers in the cluster is the same, the operating environment of the proxy container is unified, and the problem of incompatibility between the proxy process and the node server environment caused by the different versions or configurations of each node server is eliminated; the application files of the proxy containers with different proxy functions are stored in the file server, so that the proxy containers with different proxy functions have application files corresponding to different proxy functions, thereby realizing that the proxy containers have different proxy functions; in this way, the container image file of each proxy container with a proxy function is coupled with the application file, and the complete proxy container file of each proxy container with a proxy function is set with a container image file, which occupies resources.

[0010] In a possible design, before generating a container management instance with a set proxy function, it also includes: the node server receives the container generation instruction sent by the custom controller of the container management platform; the node server obtains the container image file from the image server based on the container management instance to generate the proxy container, including: the container management instance of the node server obtains the container image file from the image server through the container engine Dockerd; the container engine Dockerd of the node server generates the proxy container through the container image file.

[0011] By adopting the above method, the custom controller in the container platform generates the container generation instruction according to the proxy generation instruction, and the container generation instruction is uniformly generated by the custom controller, so that the container generation instruction can be applied to node servers of different versions and operating systems, so that node servers of different operating environments can obtain the same container management instance according to the container generation instruction. The container management instance obtains the container image file from the image server through the container engine Dockerd, and further the container engine Dockerd can generate a proxy container according to the container image file, without setting a container image file for each proxy container, which can reduce the cost of resource occupation.

[0012] In a possible design, the node server generates a proxy container based on the container management instance, including: the node server generates a proxy container with a proxy management process based on the container management instance; the node server obtains the application file corresponding to the set proxy function from the file server based on the container management instance, including: the node server generates a proxy container with a proxy management process based on the container management instance, and obtains the application file from the file server through the proxy management process; configuring the application file to the proxy container, including: generating a proxy process running in the proxy container through the application file.

[0013] By adopting the above method, the node server generates a proxy container with a proxy management process based on the container management instance, and can obtain application files from the file server through the proxy management process, and then configure the application files into the proxy container, and generate a proxy process running in the proxy container. In this way, the automatic deployment of proxy containers with different proxy functions is realized.

[0014] In a possible design, after configuring the application file to the proxy container, the method further includes:

[0015] The node server receives an agent update instruction, which is sent by the agent service end; the node server obtains the update file corresponding to the agent update instruction from the file server through the agent management process; the node server closes the agent process through the agent management process, and generates an updated agent process according to the update file.

[0016] With the above method, the proxy server sends a proxy update instruction to the node server, so that the proxy management process in the node server obtains the update file from the file server, further closes the current proxy process, and generates an updated proxy process according to the obtained update file. In this way, it is possible to automatically update the proxy process in a cluster including at least one node server. Compared with the manual update of each server in the prior art, the update speed is accelerated, saving manpower and time costs.

[0017] In a possible design, it also includes: the node server receives a proxy deletion instruction; the proxy deletion instruction is sent by the proxy server through the container management platform; and the node server deletes the proxy container indicated by the proxy deletion instruction through the container management platform.

[0018] By adopting the above method, the proxy server can send a proxy deletion instruction to the container management platform, so that the container management platform distributes the proxy deletion instruction to at least one node server in the cluster, so that at least one node server deletes the proxy container corresponding to the proxy deletion instruction. Alternatively, the container management platform may monitor that the running status of the proxy container of at least one node server is abnormal, and the proxy container needs to be deleted, and then send the proxy deletion instruction to the corresponding node server. In this way, the automatic uninstallation of the proxy process in the cluster is realized, saving manpower and time costs.

[0019] In a possible design, the container image file is integrated through the agent general framework and the container general framework.

[0020] By adopting the above method, the general framework of the agent and the general framework of the container are integrated in the container image file, so that the proxy containers with different proxy functions share a common set of general frameworks. In this way, only one set of container image files of the general framework needs to be stored in the image server, so that when each subsequent node server generates a proxy container, the container image file can be obtained, thereby reducing resource usage.

[0021] In a second aspect, an embodiment of the present invention provides a method for deploying a proxy container, the method comprising:

[0022] The container management platform receives the proxy generation instruction sent by the proxy server; the container management platform sends the container generation instruction to the node server based on the proxy generation instruction; the container generation instruction is used to instruct the node server to generate a proxy container; the proxy container is used to obtain the corresponding application file from the file server based on the container generation instruction, and configure the application file to the proxy container.

[0023] Using the above method, the container management platform receives the proxy generation instruction sent by the proxy server, generates the container generation instruction according to the proxy generation instruction, and distributes it to each node server, so that each node server generates a proxy container, and then the proxy container obtains the corresponding application file from the file server according to the container generation instruction, and configures the application file to the proxy container. In this way, even if the operating system or configuration of each node server in the server cluster is different, it can receive the container generation instruction sent by the container management platform, and generate the corresponding proxy container according to the container generation instruction, and further generate proxy containers with different proxy functions according to the obtained application files. Realize the automated deployment of proxy containers with proxy functions in the server cluster. Save manpower and time costs.

[0024] In one possible design, the container management platform sends a container generation instruction to a node server based on the agent generation instruction, including: the container management platform sends the container generation instruction to a container management platform interface through a custom controller based on the agent generation instruction, so that the node server receives the container generation instruction sent by the container management platform interface.

[0025] Using the above method, the container management platform sends the container generation instruction to the container management platform interface through the custom controller based on the proxy generation instruction. In this way, the custom controller can define the container generation instruction as a format that can be received by node servers corresponding to different operating systems or configurations, thereby eliminating the obstacle of installing the same proxy container on node servers corresponding to different operating systems or configurations.

[0026] In a possible design, it also includes: the container management platform receives an agent deletion instruction; the agent deletion instruction is sent by the agent server; the container management platform sends the agent deletion instruction to the node server, so that the node server deletes the agent container indicated by the agent deletion instruction.

[0027] By adopting the above method, the container management platform receives the proxy deletion instruction sent by the proxy server, and sends the proxy deletion instruction to at least one node server, so that the at least one node server automatically deletes the corresponding proxy container according to the proxy deletion instruction, reducing labor costs and time costs.

[0031] The acquisition module is used to acquire the application file corresponding to the set proxy function from the file server based on the container management instance, and configure the application file to the proxy container, so that the proxy container has the set proxy function.

[0032] In a fourth aspect, an embodiment of the present invention provides a deployment device for a proxy container, the device comprising:

[0048] In order to make the purpose, technical scheme and advantages of the present invention clearer, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0049] As shown in the figure, a schematic diagram of the architecture of a method for deploying a proxy container provided by an embodiment of the present invention is shown in FIG. Figure 1 As shown, the proxy server 101 sends the proxy generation instruction to the container management platform 102; the container management platform 102 receives the proxy generation instruction, and generates a container generation instruction according to the proxy generation instruction, and the container management platform 102 distributes the container generation instruction to the server cluster 105, and the server cluster 105 is composed of at least one node server 106; after receiving the container generation instruction, the node server 106 generates a container management instance according to the container generation instruction, and obtains the container image file from the image server 104 according to the container management instance, and generates a proxy container according to the container image file. Further, the node server 106 obtains the application file corresponding to the set proxy function from the file server 103 according to the container management instance, and configures the application file to the proxy container, thereby obtaining a proxy container with the set proxy function. A schematic diagram of the architecture of a node server provided in an embodiment of the present invention; as shown Figure 2As shown, after the container management instance is generated in the node server 106, a proxy container including a proxy management process is generated according to the obtained container image file, and a proxy process is generated according to the obtained application file corresponding to the set proxy function, to obtain a proxy container with the set proxy function. In this way, after the container management instance is generated in the node server 106, a proxy container including a proxy management process is generated according to the obtained container image file, and the proxy management process in the proxy container obtains the application file corresponding to the set proxy function from the file server 103 according to the container management instance in the node server 106, and generates a proxy process in the proxy container according to the application file.

[0050] Based on this, the embodiment of the present application provides a process of a method for deploying a proxy container, such as Figure 3 As shown, including:

[0051] Step 301: The node server generates a container management instance with a set proxy function based on a container generation instruction of a container management platform; the container generation instruction is triggered by the container management platform based on an agent generation instruction of an agent server; the agent generation instruction is used to instruct the deployment of a container with the set proxy function on the node server;

[0052] Here, the node server can be a node server in a server cluster that performs various tasks. For example, bank accounting and settlement services can process a large amount of data through a server cluster that performs accounting and settlement tasks; in this way, each node server in the server cluster needs to set up an agent container with an accounting agent function and a proxy container with a settlement agent function. Among them, a proxy server can be set up for the server cluster to receive the user's trigger instruction to generate an agent generation instruction, and convert the agent generation instruction into a form that can be received by the container management platform; the user can configure the relevant parameters of the agent container on the proxy server, so that the agent generation instruction contains the relevant parameters, and then perform corresponding function restrictions, function activation, determine the agent type, etc. on the generated agent container; for example, limit the relevant parameters such as the access of the agent container to the host file. The container management platform can generate a container generation instruction according to the agent generation instruction, and distribute the container generation instruction to each node server in the server cluster, so that node servers with different operating systems and different configurations can receive the container generation instruction, so that the node server generates a container management instance according to the container generation instruction, and the container management instance is used to deploy a container with a set agent function. For example, in the previous example, the container management instance is used to deploy the proxy container with the accounting agent function and set up the proxy container with the settlement agent function. In addition, when the business operation pressure in the cluster is high, or the business is expanded, etc., and it is necessary to add node servers, a new node server is added to the cluster, and the container management platform deploys the container management instance in the new node server. In this way, the container management instance in the new node server will automatically generate a proxy container. When the business operation in the cluster does not require too many node servers, or the node server fails, etc., and the node server needs to be removed, the container management instance will shut down the proxy container on the node server. The container management instance can shut down the proxy container by receiving instructions from the container management platform, or by pre-setting the corresponding program in the container management instance, etc. The specific implementation method is not limited here.

[0053] Step 302: The node server generates a proxy container based on the container management instance; the life cycle of the proxy container is managed by the container management platform;

[0054] Here, in the previous example, the lifecycles of the proxy container with accounting proxy function and the proxy container with settlement proxy function are managed by the container management platform. For example, when the proxy container with accounting proxy function completes the accounting work, in order to save server resources, the container management platform can shut down the proxy container with accounting proxy function in each node server.

[0055] Step 303: The node server obtains the application file corresponding to the set proxy function from the file server based on the container management instance, and configures the application file to the proxy container, so that the proxy container has the set proxy function.

[0056] Here, in the previous example, the generation of an agent container with an accounting agent function requires obtaining an application file corresponding to the accounting agent function; the generation of an agent container with a settlement agent function requires obtaining an application file corresponding to the settlement agent function. The file server can provide application files corresponding to various agent functions.

[0057] Using the above method, the proxy server generates a proxy generation instruction and sends the proxy generation instruction to the container management platform. The container management platform is triggered by the proxy generation instruction to obtain the container generation instruction, and then distributes the container generation instruction to each node server, so that each node server generates a container management instance with a set proxy function. In this way, the container management instance in each node server is the same. Further, each node server generates a proxy container according to the container management instance, obtains the application file corresponding to the set proxy function from the file server, and configures the application file into the proxy container, so that the proxy container has a proxy function. In this way, the automatic deployment of the proxy process in each node server is realized through the proxy server, the container management platform, the file server, and each node server. In addition, the container management platform can monitor the running status of the proxy container and the business process of the proxy container, and manage the life cycle of the proxy container. The automatic deployment of the business process and the running status monitoring are realized, which saves resource usage and reduces deployment costs.

[0058] The embodiment of the present application also provides a method for deploying a proxy container, that is, the node server generates a proxy container based on the container management instance, including: the node server obtains a container image file from an image server based on the container management instance to generate the proxy container.

[0059] Here, an embodiment of the present invention provides a schematic diagram of the structure of a container image file; Figure 4 As shown, the structure of the container image file can be set to executable program, configuration file, tool\library, file system, for example, the executable program can be Agent BIN, the configuration file can be Agent CONIF, the tool\library can be Python\java, and the file system can be Alpine Linux 3.11.2. The structure and hierarchy of the container image file here are just examples and are not specifically limited.

[0060] An embodiment of the present application provides another method for deploying a proxy container, which, before generating a container management instance with a set proxy function, also includes: the node server receives the container generation instruction sent by the custom controller of the container management platform; the node server obtains the container image file from the image server based on the container management instance to generate the proxy container, including: the container management instance of the node server obtains the container image file from the image server through the container engine Dockerd; the container engine Dockerd of the node server generates the proxy container through the container image file.

[0061] Here, a custom controller can be installed on the container management platform, so that the container generation instruction can be sent through the custom controller. The node server includes a container engine Dockerd, which triggers the container engine Dockerd to obtain the container image file after the container management instance is generated. The trigger action can be generated by the component deployed on the node server by the container management platform, so that the proxy container generated by the container engine Dockerd of each node server according to the container image file has the same operating environment.

[0062] An embodiment of the present application provides another method for deploying a proxy container, wherein a node server generates a proxy container based on the container management instance, including: the node server generates a proxy container with a proxy management process based on the container management instance; the node server obtains an application file corresponding to the set proxy function from a file server based on the container management instance, including: the node server generates a proxy container with a proxy management process based on the container management instance, and obtains the application file from the file server through the proxy management process; configuring the application file to the proxy container, including: generating a proxy process running in the proxy container through the application file.

[0063] Here, if Figure 2 As shown, the proxy container generated by the node server based on the container management instance includes a proxy management process, and the proxy management process obtains application files including corresponding proxy function files from the file server and configures them in the proxy container, so that a corresponding proxy process is generated in the proxy container. The proxy management process can manage the operation of the proxy process. For example, when an abnormality occurs in the proxy process, the proxy management process will actively shut down the abnormal proxy process and pull up the normal corresponding proxy process to ensure that the tasks of the node server are carried out normally.

[0064] An embodiment of the present application provides a method for updating a proxy process, wherein, after configuring the application file to the proxy container, it also includes: the node server receiving a proxy update instruction, wherein the proxy update instruction is sent by the proxy server; the node server obtains an update file corresponding to the proxy update instruction from the file server through the proxy management process; the node server closes the proxy process through the proxy management process, and generates an updated proxy process according to the update file.

[0065] Here, when the proxy container is deployed, when the proxy process in the proxy container undergoes vulnerability repair, parameter configuration change, upgrade, etc., the updated application file can be stored in the file server to replace the original application file. In this way, the proxy server sends the proxy update instruction to the proxy management process of the node server, and the proxy management process obtains the update file corresponding to the proxy update instruction, that is, the updated application file, and closes the current proxy process, and generates an updated proxy process based on the obtained updated application file.

[0066] An embodiment of the present application provides a method for deleting a proxy container, comprising: the node server receiving a proxy deletion instruction; the proxy deletion instruction is sent by the proxy server through the container management platform; the node server deletes the proxy container indicated by the proxy deletion instruction through the container management platform.

[0067] Here, the container management platform can be used to monitor the running status of the proxy container and the proxy process, and to set rules for the generation and closing of the proxy container and the proxy process. When an abnormality occurs in the running status of the proxy container or the proxy process, the container management platform generates a proxy deletion instruction to close the proxy container or the proxy process. Alternatively, the container management platform sets the rule that the resources occupied by the proxy container or the proxy process shall not exceed one percent of the CPU resources of the node server; if the resource usage exceeds this amount, the container management platform generates a proxy deletion instruction to close the proxy container or the proxy process. Here, the proxy deletion instruction of the container management platform can also be triggered by the proxy server, and the proxy deletion instruction of the proxy server can also be triggered by the user. Here, the trigger source of the proxy deletion instruction is not specifically limited.

[0068] An embodiment of the present application provides a method for integrating a container image file, that is, the container image file is integrated through an agent general framework and a container general framework.

[0069] Based on this, the embodiment of the present application provides a process of a method for deploying a proxy container, such as Figure 5 As shown, including:

[0070] Step 501: The container management platform receives an agent generation instruction sent by the agent server;

[0071] Step 502: The container management platform sends a container generation instruction to the node server based on the proxy generation instruction; the container generation instruction is used to instruct the node server to generate a proxy container; the proxy container is used to obtain the corresponding application file from the file server based on the container generation instruction, and configure the application file to the proxy container.

[0072] Here, the above method is adopted, the container management platform receives the proxy generation instruction sent by the proxy server, generates the container generation instruction according to the proxy generation instruction, and distributes it to each node server, so that each node server generates a proxy container, and then the proxy container obtains the corresponding application file from the file server according to the container generation instruction, and configures the application file to the proxy container. In this way, even if the operating system or configuration of each node server in the server cluster is different, it can receive the container generation instruction sent by the container management platform, and generate the corresponding proxy container according to the container generation instruction, and further generate proxy containers with different proxy functions according to the obtained application files. Realize the automatic deployment of proxy containers with proxy functions in the server cluster. Save manpower and time costs.

[0073] An embodiment of the present application provides a process of a method for deploying a proxy container, wherein the container management platform sends a container generation instruction to a node server based on the proxy generation instruction, including: the container management platform sends the container generation instruction to a container management platform interface through a custom controller based on the proxy generation instruction, so that the node server receives the container generation instruction sent by the container management platform interface.

[0074] Here, a custom controller and a container management platform interface are set in the container management platform. After receiving the agent generation instruction, the custom controller generates a container generation instruction and sends the container generation instruction to the container management platform interface; so that the container management platform interface sends the container generation instruction to the component deployed by the container management platform on the node server.

[0075] Based on the above process, the embodiment of the present application provides another process of a method for deploying a proxy container. For example, the container management platform can be the platform where the Kubernetes application is located, and the component deployed on the node server by the container management platform is Kubelet, the custom controller can be Daemon Controller, the container management platform interface can be Kube-apiserver, and the container management instance can be Daemon Pod. Figure 6 As shown, including:

[0076] Step 601: A user triggers a proxy server through a user portal.

[0077] Step 602: The proxy server generates a proxy generation instruction according to the user's trigger instruction and local configuration rules.

[0078] Step 603: The proxy server sends the proxy generation instruction to Kubernetes. Kubernetes generates a container generation instruction through DaemonController and sends it to each node server through Kube-apiserver.

[0079] Step 604: After receiving the container generation instruction through Kubelet, each node server obtains the Daemon Pod. Kubelet sends the container Runtime Interface to the container engine Dockerd, triggering the container engine Dockerd to obtain the container image file.

[0080] Step 605: Each node server generates an agent container according to the obtained container image file, the container general framework and the agent general framework in the container image file, wherein the agent general framework includes an Agent manager (agent management process).

[0081] Step 606: The Agent manager obtains the application file of the agent process corresponding to the agent generation instruction from the file server.

[0082] Step 607: Agent manager configures the acquired application file of the corresponding agent process into the agent container, and acquires the agent container with the set function.

[0083] based on Figure 6 The present application embodiment provides a method process for proxy update, such as Figure 7 As shown, including:

[0084] Step 701: The user confirms that the proxy process needs to be upgraded, and then the upgraded update file is stored in the file server, and the proxy server is triggered to generate a proxy update instruction.

[0085] Step 702: After the proxy server generates the proxy update instruction, it sends the proxy update instruction to the node server.

[0086] Step 703: After receiving the agent update instruction, the Agent manager corresponding to the agent update instruction in the node server obtains the update file from the file server.

[0087] Step 704: Agent manager closes the current agent process.

[0088] Step 705: Agent manager configures the update file into the agent container and generates an updated agent process.

[0089] It should be noted that the above process sequence is not unique. Figure 7 Step 703 of the process may be performed after step 704.
