Description

Technical Field

[0001] This disclosure relates to the field of computer information processing, and more specifically, to a plug-in synchronization method, apparatus, electronic device, and computer-readable medium for a cloud computing management platform. Background Technology

[0002] OpenStack is an open-source cloud computing management platform project, a collection of open-source software projects. It was developed and initiated by NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration) and Rackspace, and is licensed under the Apache License. Although OpenStack has matured significantly since its inception and can now meet most of the needs of cloud computing users, it will inevitably require continuous improvement as cloud computing technology evolves.

[0003] As an extension of the OpenStack Service Plugin, the plugin connects firewall devices and the cloud platform. Configurations sent to the firewall device are first processed on the cloud platform by the plugin before being distributed to the device. Device configurations and cloud platform configurations should correspond one-to-one. However, if the configuration on the firewall device is accidentally deleted, it can cause service traffic disruption or chaos. Therefore, periodic consistency synchronization is essential. Consistency synchronization compares the configurations on the device and the cloud platform, using the cloud platform configuration as a benchmark to perform operations such as adding, deleting, and modifying configurations on the device.

[0004] Existing technical solutions frequently request device RESTful APIs when acquiring and distributing configurations. With large amounts of existing data, this can potentially cause device crashes, impacting business operations. Furthermore, existing solutions employ a one-by-one comparison approach, sending necessary configuration changes to a message queue. The driver then retrieves tasks from the queue and distributes them sequentially to the devices. With large amounts of existing data, this process is time-consuming, potentially preventing synchronization tasks from completing within the interval of a single consistency synchronization, leading to configuration inconsistencies when the next synchronization task arrives.

[0005] Therefore, there is a need for a new method, apparatus, electronic device, and computer-readable medium for synchronizing plug-ins in a cloud computing management platform.

[0006] The information disclosed in the background section is only intended to enhance the understanding of the background of this application, and therefore may include information that does not constitute prior art known to those skilled in the art. Summary of the Invention

[0031] Exemplary embodiments will now be described more fully with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, these exemplary embodiments can be implemented in many forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein; rather, they are provided so that this application will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the concept of the exemplary embodiments to those skilled in the art.

However, those skilled in the art will recognize that the technical solutions of this application can be practiced without one or more of the specific details, or other methods, components, apparatuses, steps, etc., can be employed. In other instances, well-known methods, apparatuses, implementations, or operations are not shown or described in detail to avoid obscuring various aspects of this application.

[0033] The block diagrams shown in the accompanying drawings are merely functional entities and do not necessarily correspond to physically independent entities. That is, these functional entities can be implemented in software, in one or more hardware modules or integrated circuits, or in different network and / or processor devices and / or microcontroller devices.

For example, some operations / steps can be broken down, while others can be combined or partially combined; therefore, the actual execution order may change depending on the specific circumstances.

[0035] It should be understood that although the terms first, second, third, etc., may be used herein to describe various components, these components should not be limited by these terms. These terms are used to distinguish one component from another. Therefore, the first component discussed below may be referred to as the second component without departing from the teachings of this application. As used herein, the term "and / or" includes all combinations of any one and more of the associated listed items.

[0036] Those skilled in the art will understand that the accompanying drawings are merely schematic diagrams of exemplary embodiments, and the modules or processes in the drawings are not necessarily essential for implementing this application, and therefore cannot be used to limit the scope of protection of this application.

[0037] The technical abbreviations used in this application are explained as follows:

[0038] RESTful is a design style and development approach for web applications. It is based on HTTP and can be defined using XML or JSON formats.

[0039] agent: The OpenStack plugin's agent on the device, which receives business operations and parameters from the corresponding plugin notifications and translates them into specific command-line operations.

[0040] router: A virtual system on the OpenStack cloud platform, corresponding to a firewall device.

[0041] The applicant discovered that in existing technologies, during cloud platform configuration synchronization, the cloud platform first obtains the configurations of the internal and external wall devices via a RESTful interface, and then determines whether a full synchronization is required. If a full synchronization is required, all routers on the cloud platform are retrieved; otherwise, a specified router is retrieved, and consistency synchronization is initiated on a router-by-router basis. Each plugin module compares the configurations on the cloud platform and the devices to determine which configurations need to be updated, added, or deleted. Configurations requiring processing are sent to a designated agent via RPC messages, and the agent then distributes them to the devices via a RESTful interface.

[0042] This method frequently requests data from the device interface, which can cause the device to crash when the data volume is large, and can also cause long processing times when the amount of stored data is large.

[0043] In view of the technical deficiencies in the prior art, this application proposes a plug-in synchronization method for a cloud computing management platform, aiming to solve the problem of device hangs caused by frequent device requests during the consistency synchronization process, and the problem of long consistency synchronization time when the data volume is large. The content of this application will be described in detail below with the aid of specific embodiments.

[0044] Figure 1 This is a system block diagram illustrating a plug-in synchronization method and apparatus for a cloud computing management platform according to an exemplary embodiment.

[0045] like Figure 1 As shown, system architecture 10 may include terminal devices 101, 102, and 103, network 104, and cloud computing management platform 105. Network 104 serves as the medium for providing communication links between terminal devices 101, 102, and 103 and cloud computing management platform 105. Network 104 may include various connection types, such as wired or wireless communication links or fiber optic cables, etc.

[0046] Users can use terminal devices 101, 102, and 103 to interact with the cloud computing management platform 105 via network 104 to receive or send configuration data, etc. Various communication client applications can be installed on terminal devices 101, 102, and 103, such as firewall applications, security services, shopping applications, web browser applications, search applications, instant messaging tools, email clients, social media platform software, etc.

[0047] Terminal devices 101, 102, and 103 can be various electronic devices with displays and web browsing capabilities, including but not limited to firewall devices, smartphones, tablets, laptops, and desktop computers.

[0048] The cloud computing management platform 105 can be a server that provides various services, such as a backend management server that supports security service websites browsed by users using terminal devices 101, 102, and 103 (for example only). The backend management server can perform security configuration on terminal devices 101, 102, and 103 and return the processing results (whether the configuration was successful) to the administrator.

[0049] The plugins of the cloud computing management platform 105 can, for example, obtain device configuration files from terminal devices 101, 102, and 103; they can, for example, obtain cloud platform configuration files of virtual systems in the cloud computing management platform 105; the cloud computing management platform 105 can, for example, compare the device configuration files with the cloud platform configuration files; if the comparison is inconsistent, the cloud computing management platform 105 can, for example, modify the device configuration files according to the cloud platform configuration files; the cloud computing management platform 105 can, for example, import the modified device configuration files into terminal devices 101, 102, and 103 through a preset interface to complete synchronization.

[0050] The cloud computing management platform 105 can be a single physical server, or it can be composed of multiple servers. It should be noted that the plug-in synchronization method of the cloud computing management platform provided in this application embodiment can be executed by the cloud computing management platform 105. Accordingly, the plug-in synchronization device of the cloud computing management platform can be set in the cloud computing management platform 105.

[0051] Figure 2 This is a flowchart illustrating a plug-in synchronization method for a cloud computing management platform according to an exemplary embodiment. The plug-in synchronization method 20 for the cloud computing management platform includes at least steps S202 to S210.

[0052] like Figure 2As shown in S202, the cloud computing management platform plugin obtains the device configuration file from the device. The cloud computing management platform plugin may, for example, periodically obtain the device configuration file from the device; or, for example, obtain the device configuration file from the device based on instructions.

[0053] In this application embodiment, a firewall device is used as an example for the configuration description below. It is worth mentioning that the method in this application can also be applied to the configuration of other devices.

[0054] In step S204, the cloud platform configuration file of the virtual system in the cloud computing management platform is obtained. This allows obtaining the cloud platform configuration files of multiple modules corresponding to the devices in the virtual system within the cloud computing management platform.

[0055] More specifically, when performing a full synchronization, the cloud platform configuration files of multiple modules corresponding to all devices are obtained; when not performing a full synchronization, the cloud platform configuration files of multiple modules corresponding to a specified device are obtained; and the cloud platform configuration files are converted into a new format according to the mapping rules.

[0056] The cloud platform configuration requires querying the configurations of the firewall, underlay ACL, DCI, QoS, VPN, and NAT gateway modules corresponding to a single router through the plugin's native database query interface. For a full synchronization, the configurations for all routers must be retrieved. After obtaining the configurations, they need to be converted into the device configuration file format according to the mapping rules.

[0057] Mapping rules can be pre-defined. Taking natgateway as an example, the corresponding configurations on the cloud platform and on the device are as follows:

[0058] natgateway qos route addrpool addrobj addrobj session snat 1to1nat dnat

[0059] In practical applications, the configured mapping rules are not static and can be modified according to specific business needs. For example, in the case of 1to1 NAT for a public external wall system, the decision is made based on whether the floating IP used by SNAT is shared with DNAT.

[0060] In S206, the device configuration file and the cloud platform configuration file are compared. Multiple modules compare their respective device configuration files and cloud platform configuration files.

[0061] In step S208, when discrepancies are found, the device configuration file is modified according to the cloud platform configuration file. After the configuration processing on the cloud platform is completed, the configuration comparison process begins. Unlike the existing approach of comparing one module at a time, this method calculates the checksum for each module. If the checksum of the current module's cloud platform configuration differs from the checksum of the device configuration, the configuration file is directly modified; otherwise, the configuration file is not modified.

[0062] In step S210, the modified device configuration file is imported into the device via a preset interface to complete synchronization. The modified device configuration file can be encrypted; the encrypted device configuration file is then imported into the device via the preset interface to complete synchronization.

[0063] After the configuration file is processed, it is encrypted into a device-readable format. Existing solutions require sending the processed business logic, after each comparison, to a designated driver via a message queue. Due to device limitations, configurations can only be distributed serially to the device via a RESTful interface. This results in lengthy consistency synchronization times, and if a configuration distribution fails at any point, subsequent distributions may depend on previously distributed configurations, causing a cascading error. This invention directly imports the configuration file to the device via an interface, eliminating the message queue processing step, significantly reducing synchronization time, and avoiding configuration loss issues that can occur with serial distribution.

[0064] In one embodiment, the encrypted inner wall file of the device configuration file can be imported into the device through a preset interface via a first proxy to complete synchronization; alternatively, the encrypted outer wall file of the device configuration file can be imported into the device through a preset interface via a second proxy to complete synchronization.

[0065] In one embodiment of this application, two agents can be configured to be responsible for configuring the inner and outer walls respectively, so as to realize the parallel distribution of configurations for the inner and outer walls and speed up the synchronization process.

[0066] According to the plug-in synchronization method of the cloud computing management platform of this application, the device configuration file is obtained by the device through the plug-in of the cloud computing management platform; the cloud platform configuration file of the virtual system in the cloud computing management platform is obtained; the device configuration file and the cloud platform configuration file are compared; if they are inconsistent, the device configuration file is modified according to the cloud platform configuration file; and the modified device configuration file is imported into the device through a preset interface to complete the synchronization. This method can solve the problem of device hangs caused by a large number of calls to the device's RESTful interface, reduce the time consumption of the synchronization process, and avoid the configuration loss problem that may be caused by serial configuration distribution.

[0067] It should be clearly understood that this application describes how specific examples are formed and used, but the principles of this application are not limited to any details of these examples. Rather, based on the teachings of the disclosure of this application, these principles can be applied to many other embodiments.

[0068] Figure 3 This is a flowchart illustrating a plug-in synchronization method for a cloud computing management platform according to another exemplary embodiment. Figure 3 The process shown in step 30 is... Figure 2 The process shown in the diagram includes a detailed description of S202, "The plugin of the cloud computing management platform obtains the device configuration file from the device."

[0069] like Figure 3 As shown in S302, the plugin of the cloud computing management platform sends a configuration file request to the device.

[0070] In S304, the configuration file of the device is requested based on the configuration file. More specifically, during full synchronization, the configuration files of the external wall device common system, the internal wall device common system, and all virtual systems of the internal wall device are obtained; when not performing full synchronization, the configuration files of the external wall device common system, the internal wall device common system, and the specified virtual system of the internal wall device are obtained.

[0071] In S306, the configuration file is decrypted.

[0072] After receiving the synchronization command, the plugin on the cloud platform requests the configuration file from the device. Once the configuration file is obtained, it is decrypted. If the synchronization command is for a full synchronization, the configurations of the common system for the external wall devices, the common system for the internal wall devices, and all virtual systems of the internal wall devices are extracted. If the command is to synchronize a specific router, the configurations of the common system for the external wall devices, the common system for the internal wall devices, and the specific virtual system of the internal wall devices are extracted.

[0073] Figure 4 This is a flowchart illustrating a plug-in synchronization method for a cloud computing management platform according to another exemplary embodiment. Figure 4 The process shown in step 40 is... Figure 2 A detailed description of the process shown.

[0074] like Figure 4 As shown, synchronization is triggered in S402.

[0075] In S404, export the configuration files for the internal and external walls of the equipment.

[0076] In S406, the configuration file is decrypted.

[0077] In S408, decrypt the configuration of each system for the exterior and interior walls.

[0078] In S410, is full synchronization required?

[0079] In S412, all interior wall virtual system configurations are parsed.

[0080] In S414, the configuration of the specified interior wall virtual system is parsed.

[0081] In S416, different modules obtain cloud configurations from their respective cloud platforms.

[0082] In S418, the configurations on different module devices and cloud platforms are compared separately.

[0083] In S420, the configuration files of different modules are modified and verified based on the cloud platform configuration data on the cloud platform.

[0084] In S422, the configuration file is encrypted.

[0085] In S424, import the configuration file into the device.

[0086] The plugin synchronization method of this application's cloud computing management platform solves the problem of device hangs caused by excessively frequent requests to the device's RESTful interface by changing the interaction method between the device and the plugin during the consistency synchronization process and using configuration files instead of RESTful interfaces. During the configuration comparison process, the method optimizes the configuration comparison time by verifying and comparing configuration differences module by module, thereby reducing the time consumed in a single consistency synchronization.

[0087] The plugin synchronization method of this application's cloud computing management platform abandons the traditional approach of frequently using RESTful interfaces to obtain device configurations. Instead, it directly verifies and compares specific configurations in the configuration file with the cloud platform configuration, modifying any mismatched configurations. This solves the problem of device hangs caused by numerous calls to the device's RESTful interfaces. Furthermore, compared to traditional methods, when distributing configurations, it does not use message queues but directly uploads the configuration file, reducing the synchronization time and avoiding configuration loss issues that may result from serial configuration distribution.
