[0019] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the scheme of the present invention, the technical scheme in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work should fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0020] It should be noted that the terms "first", "second", etc. in the specification and claims of the present invention and the above-mentioned drawings are used to distinguish similar objects, and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that the data used in this way can be interchanged where appropriate, so as to describe the embodiments of the present invention described herein. In addition, the terms "including" and "having" and any variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusions, for example, a process, method, system, product or device that includes a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units clearly listed, but may include other steps or units that are not clearly listed or inherent to these processes, methods, products or devices.

[0021] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments of the present invention and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other. The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in combination with the embodiments.

[0022] According to an embodiment of the present invention, there is provided a Figure 1 As shown, it includes the following steps 101 to 102:

[0023] Step 101: Divert the acquired terminal request to the update service to determine the test result of the update service under the diverted load;

[0024] Step 102: If the test result is passed, the request flow rate is continuously increased.

[0025] In this embodiment, the uninterrupted and service upgrade technology of cloud services is applied to achieve the ability to update cloud services without user perception while providing continuous and uninterrupted services, and to achieve automatic updates of cloud services, thereby providing users with more powerful cloud functions and accelerating the development and integration of more businesses.

[0026] As an optional implementation method of this embodiment, when determining the test results of the update service under different load requests, it is determined through an A / B test method, wherein A is the old version of the service and B is the new version of the service, namely the update service.

[0027] In this optional implementation, based on the grayscale release version upgrade, some users continue to use version A (old version) and some users start using version B (new version). If users have no objection to version B, then gradually expand the scope and migrate all users to version B. Grayscale release can ensure the stability of the overall system, and problems can be discovered and adjusted during the initial grayscale release to ensure their impact. Through the above A / B testing process, problems when releasing new versions can be effectively avoided, and it also creates the possibility of version rollback and smooth transition.

[0028] As an optional implementation manner of this embodiment, the method further includes: continuously increasing the request flow until all terminal requests are migrated to the update service.

[0029] As an optional implementation method of this embodiment, if the test result is passed, continuously increasing the request traffic includes: if the test result is passed, forwarding the remaining terminal requests to the update service in a directed manner; testing the update service under the load after directed forwarding; if the test passes, continuing to forward the terminal requests to the update service in a directed manner.

[0030] In the above optional implementation, the smooth cloud migration and amplification of applications that are adapted to grayscale releases supports uninterrupted online upgrades of services. Through request diversion technology, the directional forwarding of terminal application requests is completed while the updated service is still online. The upgrade of system cloud services is an ongoing process. By diverting the terminal requests of existing users to the update service, the capacity test of the update service under different request loads is completed. The request flow processed by the update service increases continuously from zero until it meets the existing request load requirements. It can not only detect the processing capacity of the update service at each request load level, but also shield the denial of service caused by the instantaneous influx of requests.

[0031] Furthermore, by using cloud services, through technical means such as dynamic expansion of the number of service nodes, request load balancing, operation monitoring, and traffic adjustment, the operating status of cloud services can be monitored in real time, the access requests sent by terminals can be reasonably allocated, and the service support capabilities can be enhanced by dynamically adding service nodes and adjusting traffic.

[0032] In this embodiment, the uninterrupted and service upgrade technology of cloud services is applied to achieve the ability to update cloud services without user perception while providing continuous and uninterrupted services, and to achieve automatic updates of cloud services, thereby providing users with more powerful cloud functions and accelerating the development and integration of more businesses.
