[0027] Exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure will be described more fully hereinafter with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0028] The accompanying drawings are schematic diagrams of the present disclosure and are not necessarily drawn to scale. Some of the block diagrams shown in the accompanying drawings may be functional entities and do not necessarily correspond to physically or logically independent entities. These functional entities can be implemented in software form, or in hardware modules or integrated circuits, or in networks, processors or microcontrollers. The embodiments can be implemented in various forms and should not be construed as being limited to the examples set forth herein. The features, structures or characteristics described in the present disclosure may be combined in one or more embodiments in any suitable manner. In the description below, many specific details are provided to provide a full description of the embodiments of the present disclosure. However, those skilled in the art should appreciate that one or more specific details may be omitted when implementing the technical solution of the present disclosure, or one or more specific details may be replaced by other methods, components, devices, steps, etc.

[0029] With the popularity of cloud-native technologies, more and more applications have been containerized. Kubernetes, as the most popular container orchestrator in the industry, provides complete lifecycle management for containerized applications.

[0030] With the development of communication networks, the number of network elements and the complexity of their structures are increasing. For example, compared with earlier networks, the 5G core network has more types of network elements and the topology between network elements is more complex. This leads to the complexity of network service deployment, and the increase of procurement and operation and maintenance costs.

[0031] At present, deploying network services on the cloud may reduce the complexity of network service deployment, procurement and operation and maintenance costs to a certain extent. However, if the 5G core network is deployed on the cloud, generally, there are the following problems: Different 5GC network elements have differentiated requirements for IaaS resources and cloud native resources represented by Kubernetes; for example: AMF (Access and Mobility Management Function) network elements and SMF (Management Function) network elements not only have SBI interfaces (Service-Based Interfaces), but AMF network elements also involve N1 and N2 interfaces, SMF network elements also involve N4 interfaces, and UPF (User Plane Function) network elements are more complex, involving N3, N4, and N6 interfaces, and different interfaces have different requirements for network bandwidth; in addition, different network elements require different virtual machine acceleration features (large page memory, DPDK acceleration) and container features (network multi-plane, host mapping), which makes cloud resource construction extremely complex when deploying 5GC services.

[0032] In view of the above problems, an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure first provides a cloud resource creation method, which can reduce the complexity of service deployment to a certain extent.

[0033] Combine the following Figure 1 The system architecture and application scenarios of an operating environment of the above-mentioned cloud resource creation method are exemplified.

[0034] Figure 1 A schematic diagram of a system architecture is shown, and the system architecture 100 may include a cloud resource creation system 110 and a cloud platform 120; wherein the cloud resource creation system 110 may generally refer to a background system that provides cloud resource creation related services, and may be a server or a cluster formed by multiple servers; the cloud platform 110 generally refers to a platform that provides cloud resource related services, and may be a server or a cluster formed by multiple servers, and the cloud platform 120 can be used by the cloud resource creation system 110 to call the cloud resources thereon. The cloud resource creation system 110 and the cloud platform 120 may be connected via a wired or wireless communication link to perform data exchange.

[0035] In one embodiment, a user inputs configuration information of a target network's network elements into the cloud resource creation system 110. The cloud resource creation system 110 analyzes the target network's IaaS resource demand information and cloud native resource demand information based on the network element configuration information input by the user, and calls the cloud resources of the cloud platform 120 to create cloud resources corresponding to the target network based on the analyzed IaaS resource demand information and cloud native resource demand information.

[0036] Figure 2 A schematic diagram of an implementation flow of a cloud resource creation method provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure, which can be executed by the above-mentioned cloud resource creation system 110, such as Figure 2 As shown, the method includes the following steps S201 to S203:

[0037] Step S210: Obtain configuration information of a network element of a target network;

[0038] Step S220: Determine the infrastructure as a service IaaS resource demand information and cloud native resource demand information of the target network according to the configuration information;

[0039] Step S230: Create corresponding cloud resources on the cloud platform according to the IaaS resource demand information and the cloud native resource demand information.

[0040] In the above cloud resource creation method, first, the configuration information of the network elements of the target network is obtained; secondly, the infrastructure as a service IaaS resource demand information and cloud native resource demand information of the target network are determined according to the configuration information; finally, the corresponding cloud resources are created on the cloud platform according to the IaaS resource demand information and the cloud native resource demand information. In this way, 1) since the configuration information of the network elements of the target network is user-defined input, the corresponding cloud resources can be directly created on the cloud platform according to the user-defined configuration information of the network elements of the target network, which reduces the cost of resource demand analysis and reduces the complexity of business deployment; 2) since the IaaS resource demand information and the cloud native resource demand information are decoupled, the IaaS resource demand information and the cloud native resource demand information are separately orchestrated and created, which improves the success rate of the creation of the two.

[0041] Below Figure 2 Each step in the procedure is described in detail.

[0042] refer to Figure 2 In step S210, configuration information of network elements of the target network is obtained.

[0043] Among them, the target network refers to the network that the user needs to deploy services on the cloud platform; here, the target network can be any network, such as: 4G network, 5G network, 5G core network (5GC), etc., without limitation here.

[0044] The configuration information of the network element refers to the configuration required for the network element to implement the corresponding function. The configuration information is generally provided by the manufacturer. Generally, different network elements have different configurations. For example, the AMF network element is responsible for registration, connection, reachability, mobility, security and access management, and service authorization. The SMF network element is responsible for tunnel maintenance, IP address allocation and management, UP function selection, policy implementation, and QoS control, billing data collection, roaming, etc. Due to their different functions, their configurations (container quantity information, CPU configuration information, storage resource information, and bandwidth configuration information, etc.) are different. As shown in Table 1, the configuration information of different 5GC network elements is as follows:

[0045]

[0046] Table 1

[0047] Continue to refer Figure 2 In step S220, the infrastructure as a service IaaS resource demand information and cloud native resource demand information of the target network are determined according to the configuration information.

[0048] Among them, IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service) refers to a service model that provides IT infrastructure as a service through the Internet and charges users based on their actual usage or occupation of resources. In this service model, ordinary users do not need to build a data center or other hardware facilities by themselves, but instead obtain computer infrastructure services, including servers, storage, and network services, from IaaS service providers through leasing through the Internet.

[0049] Cloud native is a distributed cloud based on distributed deployment and unified operation and management, and a set of cloud technology product systems built on technologies such as containers, microservices, and DevOps. For example, cloud native applications are applications designed for the "cloud". After using cloud native technology, developers do not need to consider the underlying technical implementation and can give full play to the elasticity and distributed advantages of the cloud platform to achieve rapid deployment, on-demand scaling, and non-stop delivery.

[0050] Step S220 can be understood as determining the "software requirements" and "hardware requirements" required for business deployment on the cloud platform based on the configuration information of the network elements of the target network; here, the IaaS resource requirements can be regarded as software requirements, and the cloud native resource requirements can be regarded as hardware requirements. Note that the software requirements and hardware requirements here are just analogies. The hardware requirements provided by the cloud platform are actually virtual machines, and the software requirements are actually the configuration of the virtual machines. In one embodiment, step S220 can be implemented through the following process: first, determine the IaaS resource requirement information based on the configuration information of the network elements of the target network; second, determine the cloud native resource requirement information based on the IaaS resource requirement information; further, some resources can be added on top of the total resource requirements to be used for other overheads such as the management plane.

[0051] Continue to refer Figure 2 In step S230, corresponding cloud resources are created on the cloud platform according to the IaaS resource demand information and the cloud native resource demand information.

[0052] Among them, a container orchestrator (container orchestration engine) such as Kubernetes in the cloud platform can be used to create cloud resources; in one embodiment, Kubernetes can use the container network API interface (Container Network Interface, CNI) to call different plug-ins to achieve different configurations, and the implementation of this interface is the CNI plug-in.

[0053] In one embodiment, the network element configuration information of the target network is input by a user. Figure 3 A schematic diagram of an implementation flow of obtaining configuration information in a cloud resource creation method provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure, such as Figure 3 As shown, the above step S210 also includes the following steps S310 and S320:

[0054] Step S310: providing a user interaction interface.

[0055] Among them, the user interaction interface is used to interact with users. Users can enter the configuration information of the network elements of the target network in the user interaction interface according to the configuration information of the network elements provided by the manufacturer. For example: when the target network is a 5G core network, the configuration information of the network element can be entered according to the above Table 1.

[0056] The user interaction interface may provide a voice input method, a text input method, or both input methods. Of course, the configuration information of the network element may also be identified and displayed by scanning, which is not limited here.

[0057] Step S320: Acquire the configuration information of the network element of the target network input in the user interaction interface.

[0058] Among them, when the configuration information of the network element of the target network input in the user interaction interface is detected, the configuration information of the network element of the input target network is obtained; in one embodiment, the configuration information of the network element of the input target network can be obtained in real time, or the configuration information of the network element of the input target network can be obtained after a preset time period of stopping the input, which is not limited here.

[0059] In one embodiment, the user interaction interface presets a table, and the user enters the configuration information of the network element of the target network in the preset table. Figure 4 A schematic diagram of an implementation flow of obtaining configuration information in a cloud resource creation method provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure, such as Figure 4 As shown, the above step S220 also includes the following steps S410 and S420:

[0060] Step S410: In response to an operation instruction to modify a preset table, a target table is displayed in the user interaction interface.

[0061] Among them, the header of the preset table is fixed, including title columns such as network element type, container quantity information corresponding to the network element, CPU configuration information, storage resource information and bandwidth configuration information, such as: the header of the above Table 1; in one embodiment, the user interaction interface can provide a preset table, or provide multiple preset tables for users to choose from, which is not limited here.

[0062] Furthermore, when a preset table is provided, the configuration categories involved in the network elements of a specified network can be reflected in the preset table; when multiple tables are provided, different preset tables can be provided according to different networks, and one preset table reflects the configuration categories involved in the network elements of the network, which is not limited here.

[0063] Since the number of network elements in different networks is different, the preset table provided by the user interaction interface provides a modification function; in one implementation, since the table header is fixed, a row modification function can be provided, and the modified preset table is the target table.

[0064] Step S420: Acquire the configuration information of the network element of the target network entered in the target table.

[0065] Among them, when it is detected that the configuration information of the network elements of the target network is input into the target table in the user interaction interface, the configuration information of the network elements of the target network input into the target table is obtained; in one embodiment, the configuration information of the network elements of the target network input into the target table can be obtained in real time, or the configuration information of the network elements of the target network input into the target table can be obtained after a preset time period of stopping the input, and the configuration information of the network elements of the target network input into the target table can also be obtained after it is detected that all spaces in the target table are filled, which is not limited here.

[0066] In one implementation, after the configuration information of the network element of the target network is input into the target table, the input configuration information of the network element of the target network can be verified to ensure that the input configuration information of the network element of the target network is correct; thus, resources can be saved; Figure 5 A schematic diagram of the implementation process of verification in a cloud resource creation method provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure, such as Figure 5 As shown, before the above step S220, the following steps S510 to S530 are also included:

[0067] Step S510: Verify the integrity and rationality of the configuration information.

[0068] The integrity of the configuration information refers to whether all the configuration information in the target table is filled in. For example, if all the configuration information in the target table is filled in, it is determined that the configuration information is complete; otherwise, it is determined that the configuration information is incomplete.

[0069] The rationality of the configuration information refers to whether the configuration information is filled in correctly. For example, if the configuration information is filled in correctly, the configuration information is determined to be reasonable; otherwise, the configuration information is determined to be unreasonable.

[0070] Step S520: Verify the rationality of the connection to the target network according to the configuration information.

[0071] The connection rationality of the target network refers to whether the connection between network elements of the target network is reasonable. For example, if the same interface accesses the same network, it is determined that the connection between the network elements is reasonable; otherwise, it is determined that the connection between the network elements is unreasonable.

[0072] Step S530: When the integrity and rationality check of the configuration information of the network element and the connection rationality check of the target network are passed, determine the IaaS resource demand information and cloud native resource demand information of the target network according to the configuration information.

[0073] Among them, in order to save resources, after the integrity and rationality of the network element configuration information and the connection rationality of the target network are checked, the IaaS resource demand information and cloud native resource demand information of the target network can be determined according to the configuration information.

[0074] In one implementation, the integrity and rationality check of the configuration information may be to check the fields corresponding to the configuration information. Figure 6 A schematic diagram of an implementation flow of verifying configuration information in a cloud resource creation method provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure, such as Figure 6 As shown, the above step S510 also includes the following steps S610 and S620:

[0075] Step S610: Check the fields corresponding to the configuration information. If all the fields corresponding to the configuration information are not empty, determine that the integrity check of the configuration information has passed; otherwise, determine that the integrity check of the configuration information has failed.

[0076] Among them, different configuration information corresponds to different fields; in one implementation, the field can be numbers, letters, or text, which is not limited here; for example: for the CPU configuration information in the configuration information, the corresponding field is a number; for the network interface information in the configuration information, the corresponding field is a letter; for the network element type in the configuration information, the field can be a letter or text (for example: AMF or network interface information).

[0077] Step S620, verify the value corresponding to the configuration information. If the value corresponding to the configuration information is within the reference value range, determine that the rationality check of the configuration information has passed; otherwise, determine that the rationality check of the configuration information has failed.

[0078] Among them, for the configuration information whose above fields are numbers, verify the rationality of the values ​​of the configuration information. For example, if the fields corresponding to the container quantity information, CPU configuration information, storage resource information and bandwidth configuration information corresponding to the network element in the configuration information are all numbers, then verify the rationality of the fields corresponding to the configuration information.

[0079] The reference value range can be stored in a database; in one embodiment, the reference value range can be stored in the form of a table or in the form of text, which is not limited here; further, when the reference value range is stored in the form of a table, the corresponding reference table can be stored according to the preset table to verify the values ​​corresponding to the configuration information in the target table according to the reference value range in the reference table.

[0080] In one implementation, the configuration information of the network element includes network interface information and address information. Figure 7 A schematic diagram of the implementation process of verifying the target network in a cloud resource creation method provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure, such as Figure 7 As shown, the above step S520 also includes the following steps S710 and S720:

[0081] Step S710: query address information corresponding to different network elements with consistent network interface information.

[0082] Among them, the network interface information refers to the interfaces supported by the network element, for example: AMF network element supports N2 interface, SBI interface and SSH interface; SMF network element supports N4 interface, SBI interface and SSH interface.

[0083] The address information refers to the IP address; different network elements communicate through the same interface; in one embodiment, step S710 can be implemented through the following process: first, query the same interface information according to the network interface information; second, determine the different network elements corresponding to the same interface information; finally, determine the address information corresponding to the different network elements; for example: the AMF network element and the SMF network element both support the SBI interface, then, according to the network interface information, determine that the same interface information is the SBI interface, and then determine that the corresponding different network elements are the AMF network element and the SMF network element according to the SBI interface, and finally, determine that the address information of the AMF network element is the first address information (for example: 192.168.1.1), and determine that the address information of the SMF network element is the second address information (for example: 192.168.1.2).

[0084] Step S720: determine whether the address information corresponding to different network elements belongs to the same network segment according to the address information corresponding to different network elements; if they belong to the same network segment, determine that the connection rationality check for the target network passes; otherwise, determine that the connection rationality check for the target network fails.

[0085] Among them, the network segment is from one IP end to another IP end; for example: from 192.168.0.1 to 192.168.255.255 is a network segment. Generally, if you want to set some computers in the same network segment, as long as the first three segments of the IP address are consistent. For example: for the address information of the above-mentioned AMF network element is the first address information 192.168.1.1, the address information of the SMF network element is the second address information 192.168.1.2, and the first three segments of the first address information and the second address information are the same, then it is determined that the connection between the SMF network element and the AMF network element is reasonable; check all network elements according to the above method, and when all network elements are reasonably connected, it is determined that the connection of the target network is reasonable, that is, it is determined that the connection rationality check of the target network has passed; otherwise, it is determined that the connection rationality check of the target network has failed.

[0086] In one implementation, the configuration information of the network element also includes the network element type, the number of containers corresponding to the network element, CPU configuration information, storage resource information, and bandwidth configuration information. Figure 8 A schematic diagram of an implementation process of determining IaaS resource demand information in a cloud resource creation method provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure, such as Figure 8 As shown, the above step S220 also includes the following steps S810 to S840:

[0087] Step S810: Determine the quantity requirement of virtual machines according to the network element type and the container quantity information corresponding to the network element.

[0088] Among them, the container quantity information can be understood as the number of copies of the network element; in one implementation, in order not to affect the operation between network elements and facilitate network element maintenance, one network element corresponds to one virtual machine; further, one virtual machine runs one network element or a copy of the network element; the number requirement of virtual machines can be determined according to the above method.

[0089] Step S820: Determine the configuration requirements of the virtual machine according to the CPU core number information and the storage resource information.

[0090] Among them, the CPU core number information and storage resource information can be used as the lower limit of the virtual machine's configuration requirements to configure the virtual machine so that the virtual machine meets the configuration requirements of the network element; for example: the CPU core number information of the AMF network element is 8, and the storage resource information is 20G memory and 20G storage, which means that the AMF network element requires an 8-core CPU, 20G memory and 20G storage. Then, for the virtual machine corresponding to the AMF network element, at least an 8-core CPU, 20G memory and 20G storage are configured.

[0091] Step S830: Determine the network requirement of the virtual machine according to the bandwidth requirement information.

[0092] Among them, the bandwidth requirements of different interfaces are different. For example, the bandwidth requirement information of the N2 interface of the AMF network element is 10G, and the bandwidth requirement information of the N3 interface of the UPF network element is 25G, which means that the N2 interface of the AMF network element requires 10G bandwidth and the N3 interface of the UPF network element requires 25G bandwidth. Therefore, at least 10G bandwidth is configured for the N2 interface of the AMF network element; at least 25G bandwidth is configured for the N3 interface of the UPF network element.

[0093] Step S840: Determine IaaS resource requirement information based on the quantity requirement, configuration requirement, and network requirement of the virtual machines.

[0094] The quantity requirement, configuration requirement and network requirement of the virtual machines may be determined as the IaaS resource requirement information.

[0095] In one implementation, the above step S220 further includes the following steps:

[0096] Step A: Determine the container cluster information that meets the IaaS resource demand information.

[0097] Among them, the virtual machines in the above steps S810 to S840 can be used as working nodes of the container cluster; in one embodiment, in order to improve availability, three more virtual machines can be created as management nodes to deploy control plane components corresponding to the virtual machines of the working nodes. The configuration of the virtual machines of the three management nodes can be determined according to the number of virtual machines of the working nodes. For example: if the number of virtual machines of the working nodes is less than 50, the management node uses 8c 16g virtual machines; if the number of virtual machines of the working nodes is 50 to 100, the management node uses 12c 24g virtual machines; in this way, the container cluster information is determined.

[0098] Step B: Determine cloud native resource demand information based on container cluster information.

[0099] Among them, the container cluster information determined above can be used as cloud native resource demand information.

[0100] In addition, the above step S230 creates corresponding cloud resources on the cloud platform according to the IaaS resource demand information and the cloud native resource demand information, which can be achieved through the following process: first, generate a template (such as a TOSCA template) according to the above IaaS resource demand information and the cloud native resource demand information; secondly, import the above template into the container orchestrator (such as Kubernetes) provided by the cloud platform, and the container orchestrator calls the API interface provided by the cloud platform to create resources (first create IaaS resources, then create cloud native resources); in this way, cloud resources corresponding to the IaaS resource demand information and the cloud native resource demand information are created. In one embodiment, Kubernetes can use the API interface of the container network (i.e., CNI plug-in) to call different plug-ins to achieve different configurations.
