Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of cloud computing technology, and more specifically, to a configuration system for container cloud in a distributed environment. Background Art

[0002] Container technology has been an indispensable part of the cloud industry's development in recent years. In a computer, a container is a more lightweight and flexible virtualization processing method that packages everything required for an application. A container includes all code, various dependencies, and even an operating system, enabling the application to run almost anywhere. It ensures that the application can run correctly when moving from one environment to another. It only virtualizes the operating system, rather than virtualizing the underlying computer like a virtual machine. The advantage of container technology is that all business applications can run directly on the operating system of a physical host, can directly read and write to disks, and applications are isolated through namespaces of computing, storage, and network resources, forming a logically independent "container operating system" for each application.

[0003] Container cloud is a new product form emerging in cloud computing technology in the past two years. Container cloud can be understood as a container technology service on the cloud. In terms of computing form, it is a lightweight virtualization technology, different from the kernel-level Guest OS encapsulation of traditional virtualization. Container cloud service is a process-level virtualization form encapsulation. The startup and deployment of container cloud are rapid, and it can be quickly deployed and scheduled according to resource requirements at the application level, with a fast lifecycle change speed. Generally, it has the following advantages: simplified deployment, lightweight, multi-environment support, low cost, fast startup, service orchestration, easy migration, etc.

[0004] In traditional financial banking systems, the technology adopted is the MVC deployment architecture, namely the WEB layer responsible for page display, the middle logic AP layer (Application), and the database DB layer. Each layer can be designed into a highly available solution, which is called a deployment unit in bank deployment. Three deployment units (WEB, AP, DB) constitute a typical physical subsystem, and each deployment unit can contain multiple machines for high availability. Compared with cloud technology, there is a large gap in its operation and maintenance efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In view of this, this application provides a configuration system for container cloud in a distributed environment to improve the operation and maintenance efficiency of the distributed system.

[0006] To achieve the above objective, the following solutions are proposed:

[0007] A configuration system for container cloud in a distributed environment, the configuration system includes a logical subsystem, a physical subsystem, a private cloud model, and a container cloud model, where:

[0008] The logical subsystem is used to provide logical services for the distributed environment;

[0009] The physical subsystem is used to provide a physical operation foundation for the distributed environment;

[0010] The private cloud model is used to provide private cloud services for the distributed system;

[0011] The container cloud model matches the private cloud model and is used to provide image services for the private cloud model.

[0012] Optionally, the private cloud model includes a deployment unit, virtual machines, a cluster, a computing resource pool, and a first computing resource unit.

[0013] Optionally, the container cloud model includes a Service unit, a Pod unit, a Cluster unit, a Node unit, and a second computing resource unit.

[0014] Optionally, the Service unit is mapped to the deployment unit, the Pod unit is mapped to the virtual machines, the Cluster unit is mapped to the cluster, the Node unit is mapped to the computing resource pool, and the second computing resource unit is mapped to the first computing resource unit.

[0015] As can be seen from the above technical solutions, the present application discloses a configuration system for container cloud in a distributed environment. The configuration system includes a logical subsystem, a physical subsystem, a private cloud model, and a container cloud model. The logical subsystem is used to provide logical services for the distributed environment; the physical subsystem is used to provide a physical operation foundation for the distributed environment; the private cloud model is used to provide private cloud services for the distributed system; the container cloud model matches the private cloud model and is used to provide image services for the private cloud model.

All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present application without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present application. Embodiment 1

[0020] As Figure 1 shown, the configuration system provided in this embodiment is applied to a distributed environment, and specifically includes a logic subsystem 10, a physical subsystem 20, a private cloud model 30, and a container cloud model 40. The physical subsystem is logically connected to the logic subsystem, the private cloud model, and the container cloud model respectively.

[0021] The logic subsystem is used to provide logic services for the distributed environment or the distributed system. The physical subsystem is used to provide a physical operation basis for the distributed environment. The private cloud model is used to provide private cloud services for the distributed environment. The container cloud model is matched with the private cloud model and is used to provide image services for the private cloud model.

[0022] The private cloud model includes a deployment unit 31, virtual machines 32, a cluster 33, a computing resource pool 34, and a first computing resource unit 34.

[0023] Specifically, in the container cloud model, Service is used to provide application management services.

A Pod unit is the basic unit of container management, and each Pod unit contains at least one container. Applications are deployed on Pod units, so they are mapped to virtual machines on the private cloud model side. A Cluster unit is a collection of computing, storage, and network resources, so it is mapped to a cluster on the private cloud side. A Node unit is a physical machine, so it is mapped to a computing resource pool.
