Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of cloud-native bandwidth control technology, and in particular to a cloud-native bandwidth control method, system, device and medium based on OVN. Background Technology

[0002] Cloud native is a compound word. "Cloud" indicates that the application runs in a distributed cloud environment, and "native" indicates that the application was designed from the outset with the elasticity and distributed characteristics of the cloud platform in mind—it was designed for the cloud. Cloud native is an application architecture approach that fully leverages the advantages of cloud computing to design, implement, deploy, deliver, and operate applications.

[0003] With the development of cloud computing, cloud applications are becoming increasingly rich and diverse. In cloud-native environments, different applications may share the same physical infrastructure's network resources, including bandwidth. This can lead to bandwidth contention issues, where high network traffic from one application may impact the network performance of other applications. In some cases, it is necessary to limit bandwidth for specific cloud-native applications to ensure fair sharing and resource allocation.

[0004] The existing Kubernetes (k8s) bandwidth control, based on Calico, is implemented through BGP (Border Gateway Protocol) routing policies. Defining BGP routing policies requires significant technical expertise in network planning and BGP, resulting in poor usability. Furthermore, applying BGP routing policies necessitates route switching, which can impact network performance and lead to network instability. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the aforementioned shortcomings of existing technologies, this application provides a cloud-native bandwidth control system, method, and medium based on OVN, in order to solve the problems that existing native bandwidth control technologies rely heavily on BGP routing strategies, have high technical requirements for network planning and BGP, and are difficult to use.

[0006] Firstly, this application provides a cloud-native bandwidth control method based on OVN. The method includes: obtaining bandwidth control policy formulation parameters through a management platform to complete the bandwidth control policy configuration and obtain annotation information corresponding to the bandwidth control policy; obtaining a Kubernetes object from the Kubernetes platform to complete the binding of the bandwidth control policy to the Kubernetes object, and simultaneously calling the Kubernetes platform's API interface to request updates to the annotation information corresponding to the bandwidth control policy of the Kubernetes object; when the Kubernetes platform receives an update request from the management platform for the annotation information corresponding to the bandwidth control policy of the Kubernetes object through the API interface, completing the update of the annotation information corresponding to the bandwidth control policy of the Kubernetes object, and automatically updating the bandwidth control policy in the POD corresponding to the Kubernetes object; obtaining the annotation information corresponding to the updated bandwidth control policy of the POD through the OVN control component; converting the annotation information into virtual network configuration information and sending it to the OVN management component through OVN commands; converting the virtual network configuration information into logical flow tables through the OVN management component and sending them to the OVN controller component in the node where the POD corresponding to the virtual network configuration information resides; and then using OVN... The controller component obtains the logical flow table and generates the OpenFlow flow table for the node where it resides. This enables the OVS component in the node where the POD resides to control the bandwidth of the virtual network interface card corresponding to the POD based on the OpenFlow flow table.

[0007] Furthermore, by using a preset data acquisition interface, the bandwidth control strategy formulation parameters are obtained, the corresponding annotation information of the bandwidth control strategy is generated, and the k8s object is obtained to complete the binding of the bandwidth control strategy with the k8s object.

[0008] Furthermore, before obtaining the parameters for configuring the bandwidth control policy through the management platform to complete the configuration of the bandwidth control policy, the method also includes: obtaining user login information through the management platform so that a preset data acquisition interface pops up after the user login information is successfully verified.

[0009] Furthermore, before obtaining the annotation information corresponding to the updated bandwidth control policy, the method also includes: monitoring the POD corresponding to the k8s object through the OVN control component, so as to obtain the annotation information corresponding to the updated bandwidth control policy when it is determined that the POD corresponding to the k8s object has an updated bandwidth control policy.

[0010] Secondly, this application provides a cloud-native bandwidth control system based on OVN. The system includes: a management platform, used to obtain parameters for configuring bandwidth control policies to complete the configuration of bandwidth control policies and obtain annotation information corresponding to the bandwidth control policies; obtain Kubernetes objects from the Kubernetes platform to complete the binding of bandwidth control policies with Kubernetes objects, and simultaneously call the API interface of the Kubernetes platform to request updates to the annotation information corresponding to the bandwidth control policies of Kubernetes objects; a Kubernetes platform, used to update the annotation information corresponding to the bandwidth control policies of Kubernetes objects when the Kubernetes platform receives a request from the management platform via the API interface for updating the annotation information corresponding to the bandwidth control policies of Kubernetes objects, and simultaneously automatically update the bandwidth control policies in the PODs corresponding to the Kubernetes objects; an OVN control component, used to obtain the annotation information corresponding to the updated bandwidth control policies of the PODs; convert the annotation information into virtual network configuration information and send it to the OVN management component via OVN commands; and an OVN management component, used to convert the virtual network configuration information into logical flow tables and send them to the OVN controller component in the node where the PODs corresponding to the virtual network configuration information reside. The controller component is used to obtain the logical flow table and generate the OpenFlow flow table of the node where it is located, so that the OVS component in the node where the POD is located can control the bandwidth of the virtual network card corresponding to the POD according to the OpenFlow flow table.

[0011] Furthermore, the management platform includes an interface unit, which is used to obtain the parameters for setting the bandwidth control strategy, generate the annotation information corresponding to the bandwidth control strategy, and obtain the k8s object through a preset data acquisition interface, so as to complete the binding between the bandwidth control strategy and the k8s object.

[0012] Furthermore, the management platform includes a login unit, which is used to obtain user login information through the management platform, so that a preset data acquisition interface pops up after the user login information is successfully verified.

[0013] Furthermore, the OVN control component includes a listening unit, which is used to listen to the POD corresponding to the k8s object through the OVN control component, so as to obtain the annotation information corresponding to the updated bandwidth control policy when it is determined that the POD corresponding to the k8s object has an updated bandwidth control policy.

Unless otherwise specified, an element defined by the phrase "comprising one..." does not exclude the presence of other identical elements in the process, method, article, or apparatus that includes that element.

[0024] The technical solutions proposed in the embodiments of this application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0025] This application provides a cloud-native bandwidth control method based on OVN, such as... Figure 1 As shown in the embodiments of this application, the method mainly includes the following steps:

[0026] Step 110: Obtain the parameters for setting the bandwidth control policy through the management platform to complete the configuration of the bandwidth control policy and obtain the annotation information corresponding to the bandwidth control policy; obtain the k8s object of the k8s platform to complete the binding of the bandwidth control policy with the k8s object, and call the API interface of the k8s platform to request the update of the annotation information corresponding to the bandwidth control policy of the k8s object.

[0027] It should be noted that the management platform can be any feasible device or apparatus capable of data acquisition and data binding. The specified parameter is the data to be uploaded.

[0028] As an example, the process of obtaining the above data can be specifically as follows: through a preset data acquisition interface, obtain the parameters for formulating the bandwidth control strategy, generate the annotation information corresponding to the bandwidth control strategy, and obtain the k8s object to complete the binding between the bandwidth control strategy and the k8s object.

[0029] It should be noted that the Kubernetes platform has several Kubernetes objects, and this application is able to select the Kubernetes object that is bound to the bandwidth control policy from among these Kubernetes objects.

[0030] In addition, to ensure the accuracy of uploaded data, this application can obtain the current user's login information so that data can be obtained after the login information is verified.

[0031] As an example, before obtaining the parameters for configuring the bandwidth control policy through the management platform to complete the configuration of the bandwidth control policy, the method may also include:

[0032] The system obtains user login information through the management platform, and pops up a preset data retrieval interface after the user login information is successfully verified.

[0033] It should be noted that the method for verifying user login information can be any existing feasible method.

[0034] Step 120: When the Kubernetes platform receives a request from the management platform via the API interface to update the annotation information corresponding to the bandwidth control policy of the Kubernetes object, it completes the update of the annotation information corresponding to the bandwidth control policy of the Kubernetes object and automatically updates the bandwidth control policy in the POD corresponding to the Kubernetes object.

[0035] Step 130: Obtain the annotation information corresponding to the bandwidth control policy updated by POD through the OVN control component; convert the annotation information into virtual network configuration information, and send it to the OVN management component through OVN commands.

[0036] It should be noted that the OVN control component is an existing open-source component of OVN. Those skilled in the art can obtain components with functions such as "annotation information corresponding to updated bandwidth control policies; converting annotation information into virtual network configuration information and issuing it to the OVN management component via OVN commands" from the website according to actual needs.

[0037] In addition, before obtaining the annotation information corresponding to the updated bandwidth control policy, the method also includes:

[0038] The OVN control component monitors the POD corresponding to the Kubernetes object, and when it is determined that the bandwidth control policy of the POD corresponding to the Kubernetes object has been updated, it obtains the annotation information corresponding to the updated bandwidth control policy.

[0039] It should be noted that the specific method for monitoring the POD corresponding to the k8s object can be implemented using existing technologies, and this application does not limit the specific implementation process.

[0040] Step 140: Using the OVN management component, convert the virtual network configuration information into a logical flow table and send it to the OVN controller component in the node where the POD corresponding to the virtual network configuration information is located.

[0041] It should be noted that the OVN management component is an existing open-source component of OVN, which can convert virtual network configuration information into logical flow tables and distribute them to the OVN controller component in the node where the POD corresponding to the virtual network configuration information is located.

[0042] Additionally, the node where the POD resides can be a computer server. The OVN controller component is an existing open-source component of OVN.

[0043] Step 150: Obtain the logical flow table through the OVN controller component and generate the OpenFlow flow table for the node where the POD is located; so that the OVS component in the node where the POD is located can control the bandwidth of the virtual network card corresponding to the POD according to the OpenFlow flow table.

[0044] It should be noted that the OVS component (Open vSwitch) is an open-source virtual switch used to build network infrastructure in virtualization and cloud computing environments.

[0045] besides, Figure 2This application provides a cloud-native bandwidth control system based on OVN. For example... Figure 2 As shown in the embodiments of this application, the system mainly includes:

[0046] The management platform 210 is used to obtain the parameters for setting the bandwidth control policy, so as to complete the configuration of the bandwidth control policy and obtain the annotation information corresponding to the bandwidth control policy; it obtains the k8s object of the k8s platform 220 to complete the binding of the bandwidth control policy with the k8s object, and at the same time calls the API interface of the k8s platform 220 to request the update of the annotation information corresponding to the bandwidth control policy of the k8s object.

[0047] Specifically, the process of acquiring the above data can be as follows: the interface unit 211 in the management platform 210 acquires the formulation parameters of the bandwidth control strategy, obtains the annotation information corresponding to the bandwidth control strategy, and obtains the correspondence between the bandwidth control strategy and the k8s object through a preset data acquisition interface.

[0048] In addition, to ensure the accuracy of uploaded data, this application can obtain the current user's login information so that data can be obtained after the login information is verified.

[0049] As an example, the login unit 212 in the management platform 210 obtains user login information through the management platform 210, so as to enter the preset data acquisition interface after the user login information is successfully verified.

[0050] The k8s platform 220 is used to update the annotation information corresponding to the bandwidth control policy of the k8s object when the k8s platform 220 receives a request from the management platform through the API interface to update the annotation information corresponding to the bandwidth control policy of the k8s object, and at the same time automatically updates the bandwidth control policy in the POD corresponding to the k8s object.

[0051] It should be noted that the Kubernetes platform is any feasible container management platform.

[0052] OVN control component 230 is used to obtain annotation information corresponding to the updated bandwidth control policy; convert the annotation information into virtual network configuration information, and send it to OVN management component 240 through OVN commands.

[0053] In addition, before obtaining the annotation information corresponding to the updated bandwidth control policy, the listening unit 231 in the OVN control component 230 can listen to the POD corresponding to the k8s object through the OVN control component 230, so as to obtain the annotation information corresponding to the updated bandwidth control policy when it is determined that the POD corresponding to the k8s object has an updated bandwidth control policy.

[0054] OVN management component 240 is used to convert virtual network configuration information into logical flow tables and distribute them to the OVN controller component 250 in the node where the POD corresponding to the virtual network configuration information is located.

[0055] The OVN controller component 250 is used to obtain the logical flow table and generate the OpenFlow flow table of the node where it is located, so that the OVS component in the node where the POD is located can control the bandwidth of the virtual network card corresponding to the POD according to the OpenFlow flow table.

[0056] The above are method embodiments of this application. Based on the same inventive concept, this application also provides a cloud-native bandwidth control device based on OVN. Figure 3 As shown, the device includes: a processor; and a memory storing executable code thereon, which, when executed, causes the processor to perform a cloud-native bandwidth control method based on OVN as described in the above embodiments.

[0057] Specifically, the server obtains the parameters for configuring the bandwidth control policy through the management platform to complete the configuration and obtain the corresponding annotation information. It then obtains the Kubernetes object from the Kubernetes platform to bind the bandwidth control policy to the Kubernetes object, and simultaneously calls the Kubernetes platform's API to request updates to the annotation information corresponding to the bandwidth control policy of the Kubernetes object. When the Kubernetes platform receives the request from the management platform via the API to update the annotation information corresponding to the bandwidth control policy of the Kubernetes object, it updates the annotation information and automatically updates the bandwidth control policy in the POD corresponding to the Kubernetes object. Through the OVN control component, it obtains the annotation information corresponding to the updated bandwidth control policy of the POD. This annotation information is converted into virtual network configuration information and sent to the OVN management component via OVN commands. The OVN management component converts the virtual network configuration information into logical flow tables and sends them to the OVN controller component in the node where the POD corresponding to the virtual network configuration information resides. Finally, through OVN... The controller component obtains the logical flow table and generates the OpenFlow flow table for the node where it resides. This enables the OVS component in the node where the POD resides to control the bandwidth of the virtual network interface card corresponding to the POD based on the OpenFlow flow table.

[0058] In addition, this application embodiment also provides a non-volatile computer storage medium storing executable instructions, which, when executed, implement the cloud-native bandwidth control method based on OVN as described above.
