Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of computer technology, and in particular to a technology for software applications to self-adapt to multiple cloud platform PaaS services. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid development of cloud computing technology, more and more customers choose to deploy applications on cloud platforms. Currently, there are multiple cloud service providers on the market that provide PaaS (Platform as a Service) services so that users can build, deploy and run applications on the cloud.

[0003] Deploying and running applications in a multi-cloud environment has many benefits, such as flexibility, scalability, reliability, and cost optimization. However, different cloud service providers may have different APIs (Application Programming Interface), SDKs (Software Development Kits), and services, which may cause challenges for developers when migrating applications.

[0004] In the existing PaaS technology, the adaptation and deployment of each business system within the enterprise to different cloud platforms depends on the separate configuration and adjustment of each business system, which leads to a series of problems and challenges: 1) A lot of repetitive work. Since each business system needs to be configured and adjusted for different cloud platforms, a lot of repetitive work is caused, which reduces the efficiency of development and deployment. 2) Difficult to maintain and expand. Separate configuration and adjustment for each cloud platform makes system maintenance and expansion more difficult, and support for new cloud platforms requires more time and effort. 3) Complex code management. Since the adaptation and deployment of each business system to different cloud platforms require code and configuration changes, code management becomes complicated, increasing code conflicts and maintenance costs. 4) Data security and consistency: When migrating and synchronizing data between different cloud platforms, data inconsistency and security issues may occur, affecting the data security and management efficiency of the entire group. Therefore, a method is needed to overcome these challenges and realize application deployment across multiple cloud platforms. Summary of the invention

[0042] In this embodiment, in the step S11, a set of API interfaces that are independent of cloud platforms are abstracted based on the PaaS service APIs of multiple cloud platforms, and are determined as cloud-universal API interfaces. This set of interfaces allows developers to write application code without paying attention to the differences between the underlying cloud platforms, thereby enabling a set of codes to be deployed and run on multiple cloud platforms. Specifically, first, based on the PaaS service API documents and functions provided by each cloud platform, their commonalities and differences are determined, and then the commonalities between the common PaaS service functions on different cloud platforms are determined. These common functions can be used as candidates for the cloud-universal API interface. Further, based on the common functions and requirements, a general API interface specification is designed, including defining request and response formats, parameters and valid values, authentication and authorization mechanisms, etc. Finally, according to the general API interface specification, adapters or encapsulation layers are developed for each cloud platform.
