[0038] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, examples of which are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention and are not to be construed as limiting the present invention. The step numbers in the following embodiments are provided for ease of explanation only and do not limit the order of the steps. The order of execution of the steps in the embodiments can be adaptively adjusted according to the understanding of those skilled in the art.

[0039] Reference Figure 1 Embodiments of the present invention provide a blockchain-based cloud host resource management method. This solution can be applied to large server clusters. Specifically, this embodiment obtains basic cloud host information, then obtains the identity information used during account registration, compares this identity information with the basic cloud host information, obtains the node's equity information based on the comparison results, and then determines the accounting node based on the equity information. Finally, the accounting node writes the newly added cloud host information into a new block and broadcasts it. This method can reduce the significant human resources consumed during manual aggregation and verification, mitigate the risks associated with manual data entry, and achieve automated management and control of cloud resources.

[0040] Specifically, if Figure 1 As shown, the embodiment of the present application includes the following steps:

[0041] Step 101: Obtain basic information of the cloud host.

[0042] This embodiment requires obtaining basic information about the cloud host so that the registered account can be subsequently verified against the obtained basic information. This information can be obtained by installing a data collection agent on the cloud host, collecting basic information from the cloud host through the data collection agent, and uploading the information. The collected basic information includes the cloud host's vendor, resource pool, virtual IP address, vCPU and memory size, CPU utilization, memory utilization, online time within a billing cycle, and information about the person who activated the cloud host.

[0043] Step 102: Obtain the identity information when registering the account.

[0044] Step 103: perform identity comparison on the account according to the basic information of the cloud host.

[0045] This embodiment compares the acquired cloud host basic information with the account's identity information to confirm the account's identity. The cloud host's basic information includes the cloud host's provider, resource pool, virtual IP address, vCPU and memory size, CPU utilization, memory utilization, online time within a billing cycle, and information about the person who activated the cloud host.

[0046] In other embodiments, when performing identity information comparison, the cloud host's API interface can be called to verify the identity information of the newly registered cloud host through the API interface. This embodiment ensures the security of the process by calling the cloud host's API interface to perform identity information comparison on the newly added cloud host.

[0047] Step 104: Obtain the node's equity information based on the comparison result.

[0048] After successful account authentication, this embodiment obtains the equity information of each node in the blockchain, which includes the node's cloud host address, the node's cloud host CPU, and memory utilization.

[0049] In other embodiments, after the account identity authentication is successful, a chain request is issued to broadcast the newly added cloud host information to each blockchain node.

[0050] Step 105: Determine the accounting node based on the equity information.

[0051] This embodiment distributes equity based on the node's equity information to determine the accounting node. Specifically, the equity is calculated based on the node's cloud host address, the node's cloud host CPU, and memory utilization. The number of times the node has served as an accounting node is obtained, and the node's weight is calculated using the following equity calculation formula. The lower the CPU and memory utilization, the fewer times the node has served as an accounting node, and the greater the equity obtained. Specifically, the equity calculation algorithm is as follows:

[0052] Assume that the CPU utilization of a node is f, the memory utilization is h, the number of blocks in the entire blockchain is m, and the number of historical accounting times of the node is n (assuming that each new cloud host will form a new block), then the equity k allocated to the node is:

[0053]

[0054] In other embodiments, the accounting node can also be determined by establishing a campaign array. The campaign array is formed based on the candidate node numbers, and the number of each node number is multiplied by k times based on the equity k, that is, the number of each candidate node number is k. Finally, a node is randomly selected from these k1+k2+...+kn numbers and used as the accounting node. This embodiment obtains the node's cloud host address, the node's cloud host CPU and memory utilization to calculate the equity, determines the equity of each node using an equity calculation algorithm, and then determines the accounting node using the campaign array. This method of determining the accounting node is more energy-efficient and makes it easier to select hosts with high idle rates for accounting.

[0055] Step 106: Write the information of the newly added cloud host into a new block and broadcast it through the accounting node.

[0056] This embodiment packages the received information of the newly added cloud host through the accounting node, uploads it to the original blockchain, and broadcasts it after execution.

[0057] In other embodiments, cloud host usage can be exported after step 106, and the fees calculated using an upper-layer smart contract. A smart contract is a computer program that automatically executes when specific conditions are met. In this embodiment, cloud host usage is exported. Based on the actual cloud host usage, the fees incurred during the process are calculated using an upper-layer smart contract.

[0058] When applying the above method to the actual process, it is explained in the form of functional modules, as follows:

[0059] The blockchain-based cloud host resource supervision method can be applied to large server clusters and can be set up as the following modules:

[0060] Cloud host basic information collection module

[0061] This module collects basic information about cloud hosts by installing a collection agent on them. This information includes: the cloud host's provider, resource pool, virtual IP address, vCPU and memory size, CPU utilization, memory utilization, online time within a billing cycle, and the person who activated the cloud host.

[0062] Cloud host authentication module

[0063] This module obtains the identity information when registering the account, and verifies the basic information of the newly added cloud host opened on the blockchain by calling the interface of the cloud host resource provider intensive management system, thereby determining the identity of the newly added cloud host.

[0064] Blockchain that stores basic information of cloud hosts

[0065] The blockchain in this invention utilizes a public blockchain. Each cloud host represents a node in the system. Cloud host information is encrypted and stored in the blockchain. Each cloud host has the potential to become a bookkeeping node. They compete for bookkeeping rights by using CPU and memory availability as equity. The winning node writes the newly added cloud host information into a new block and broadcasts it. A public blockchain is one in which any individual or group in the world can send transactions, and these transactions are validated by the blockchain. Anyone can participate in the consensus process and potentially become a bookkeeping node. Public chains are the earliest and most widely used blockchains.

[0066] Cloud host information export module:

[0067] After a billing cycle ends, the module automatically exports all cloud host resource information within the billing cycle to the cloud resource administrator, and can calculate the cloud resource usage fees within this billing cycle through the upper-level smart contract.

[0068] Reference Figure 2The embodiment of the present invention proposes a cloud host resource monitoring system based on blockchain, including:

[0069] Information collection module, used to obtain basic information of the cloud host;

[0070] Account registration module, used to obtain identity information when registering an account;

[0071] The identity authentication module is used to compare the account identity based on the basic information of the cloud host;

[0072] Equity information collection module, used to obtain the node's equity information based on the comparison results;

[0073] The accounting node generation module is used to determine the accounting node based on equity information;

[0074] The broadcast module is used to write the information of the newly added cloud host into a new block and broadcast it through the accounting node.

[0075] In other embodiments, the cloud host resource monitoring system further includes a data collection module. The data collection module is used to obtain basic information about the cloud host. In this embodiment, the data collection module is used to obtain basic information about the cloud host. This information can be transmitted to the identity authentication module and compared with the registered account information to determine the account identity.

[0076] In other embodiments, the cloud host resource monitoring system further includes an information export module. This module is used to export cloud host usage information and calculate fees using an upper-layer smart contract. A smart contract is a computer program that automatically executes when specific conditions are met. In this embodiment, the information export module exports cloud host usage information. Based on actual cloud host usage, the upper-layer smart contract then calculates the fees incurred during the process.
