[0072] In order to make the purposes, technical solutions and advantages of the present application clearer, the following will further describe the present application with reference to the drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present application, and are not used to limit the present application.

[0073] The object storage method provided by the embodiments of the present application can be applied to, for example, Figure 1The application environment shown. Among them, the client 102 communicates with the server 104 through the network. The data storage system can store the data required by the server 104 to process. The data storage system can be integrated on the server 104, or placed on the cloud or other network servers. Specifically, the server 104 receives the object storage request sent by the client 102; wherein the object storage request carries the data to be stored; the server 104 selects a target gateway from at least two candidate gateways deployed according to the object storage request; the server 104 stores the data to be stored based on the target gateway; wherein the construction method of the at least two candidate gateways is: receiving at least one gateway creation request sent by at least one request sender; for any request sender, according to the request content in the gateway creation request corresponding to the request sender, deploying a gateway for the request sender; the gateway corresponding to each request sender is respectively taken as a candidate gateway. Among them, the client 102 can be, but not limited to, various personal computers, notebook computers, smart phones, tablet computers, Internet of Things devices and portable wearable devices, Internet of Things devices can be smart speakers, smart televisions, smart air conditioners, smart car devices, projection devices, etc. Portable wearable devices can be smart watches, smart bracelets, head-mounted devices, etc. The head-mounted device can be a virtual reality (VR) device, an augmented reality (AR) device, smart glasses, etc. The server 104 can be a standalone physical server, or a server cluster or distributed system composed of multiple physical servers, or a cloud server providing cloud computing services.

[0074] In an exemplary embodiment, as Figure 2 shown, an object storage method is provided, and the method is applied to Figure 1 the server 104 in the application environment as an example for illustration, including the following steps:

[0075] S210, receiving an object storage request.

[0076] Among them, the object storage request carries the data to be stored. Among them, the data to be stored is the data that needs to be stored.

[0077] Exemplarily, in the case where the user has an object storage requirement, the client can send an object storage request to the server, at which time the server can receive the object storage request sent by the user through the client.

[0078] S220, according to the object storage request, selecting a target gateway from at least two candidate gateways deployed.

[0079] The candidate gateway is a gateway deployed by the server. The target gateway is a gateway that matches the object storage request and can be used to respond to the object storage request among the candidate gateways.

[0080] In this embodiment, there is a corresponding relationship between different object storage requests and target gateways. For example, a corresponding relationship between a reference storage request and a reference gateway is constructed in advance, and the reference gateway corresponding to the object storage request in the corresponding relationship is taken as the target gateway.

[0081] In this embodiment, the object storage request and at least two candidate gateways can also be input into a pre-trained target gateway selection model to obtain the target gateway corresponding to the object storage request. The target gateway selection model can be constructed based on a common neural network, and details are not described herein. Further, when the target gateway selection model is trained, a sample storage object can be input into the target gateway selection model to obtain a gateway selection result corresponding to the sample storage object. Further, the model parameters of the target gateway selection model are adjusted according to the gateway selection result and the target gateway label corresponding to the corresponding sample storage object.

[0082] The at least two candidate gateways are constructed in the following manner: receiving at least one gateway creation request sent by at least one request sender; for any request sender, deploying a gateway for the request sender according to the request content in the gateway creation request corresponding to the request sender; and taking the gateway corresponding to each request sender as a candidate gateway.

[0083] The request sender is a user who has an object storage demand. The gateway creation request is used to request the server to deploy a gateway.

[0084] It can be understood that in the process of the user initially performing object storage, the client needs to send a gateway creation request to the server to perform object storage based on the gateway deployed by the server.

[0085] Optionally, different request contents correspond to different gateways. In this embodiment, the gateway creation request can be parsed to determine the request content in the gateway creation request, and the gateway created for the corresponding request sender is determined based on the type of the request content. Further, the gateway is deployed for the request sender based on a preset manner.

[0086] Further, the server stores the gateway corresponding to each request sender in association with the corresponding request sender, and takes the gateway corresponding to each request sender as a candidate gateway.

[0087] S230, performing object storage on the to-be-stored data based on the target gateway.

[0088] In the object storage method described above, at least two candidate gateways are deployed on the same server. Upon receiving an object storage request, a target gateway is selected from the two deployed candidate gateways, and the data to be stored is stored based on the target gateway. Compared to existing technologies where only one gateway can be deployed per server, this method saves server costs. Furthermore, each candidate gateway corresponds to a specific request sender. When object storage demand is high, the server can respond to different request senders based on multiple deployed gateways, improving object storage efficiency.

[0089] Based on the technical solutions of the above embodiments, this application also provides an optional embodiment. In this optional embodiment, the steps of deploying a gateway for the request sender according to the request content in the request to create a gateway corresponding to the request sender are refined.

[0090] See Figure 3 The gateway deployment steps shown include:

[0091] S310, in response to a gateway creation request sent by the request sender, creates a container of a preset type.

[0092] The container is configured with a gateway service. The default container type can be a Docker container.

[0093] For example, in this embodiment, a Docker container can be created in response to a gateway creation request sent by the request sender, and the Docker container can be named based on a preset filename. The preset filename can be "iscsigateway".

[0094] Optionally, to enable the container to function as a gateway, in this embodiment, the Docker container's loading script includes the following steps: installing the s3backer component (a preset version, such as version 2.0.2); installing the nbdkit component (a preset version, such as version 1.29.11), and correspondingly installing related nbd, nbd-server, nbd-client, and other components; installing the tgtd component (a preset version, such as version 1.0.79); and deploying the software's startup and configuration scripts. Since the container is configured with a gateway service, in this embodiment, the gateway is deployed within the container.

[0095] It should be noted that the server provided in this application is a server configured with a Docker environment, such as an Ubuntu 20.04 system, and Docker Engine has been installed.

[0096] S320, start the container and set the container as the gateway corresponding to the request sender.

[0097] It should be noted that since containers need to be imaged before they can be started, in this embodiment, the container needs to be imaged before starting the container to obtain a container image, and the container image needs to be stored.

[0098] For example, in step two: The created "iscsigateway" container is committed as a new image layer using `docker commit`, then exported as an image using `docker save`, and finally loaded onto the server using `docker load`. Next, a Docker container is started on the server, using the newly loaded "iscsigateway" image as the starting image.

[0099] It should be noted that in this embodiment, within the container, the s3backer component interacts with the object storage based on the configuration script and configuration file (the nbdkit component is loaded via calls to s3backer). Through REST API and logical address segmentation, the object storage is simulated as a block device, providing an nbdx block device presented on the device. A server-side implementation using tgtd is used to implement the iSCSI protocol, ultimately providing the service to the user. In other words, a gateway is deployed for the object sender in the above manner.

[0100] The above embodiments demonstrate how deploying gateways in containers enables a single server to deploy multiple gateways.

[0101] Based on the technical solutions of the above embodiments, this application also provides an optional embodiment. In this optional embodiment, the process of selecting a target gateway from at least two deployed candidate gateways according to an object storage request is refined.

[0102] See Figure 4 The target gateway selection steps shown include:

[0103] S410, determine the sender of the object storage request.

[0104] For example, in this embodiment, the object storage request may carry the identification information of the request sender.

[0105] S420: Based on the requester of the object storage request, select the target gateway that matches the requester from at least two deployed candidate gateways.

[0106] In this embodiment, since there is a correspondence between the at least two deployed candidate gateways and the request sender, the target gateway that matches the identifier information of the request sender can be selected from the at least two deployed candidate gateways based on the identifier information of the request sender.

[0107] Based on the technical solutions of the above embodiments, this application also provides an optional embodiment. In this optional embodiment, the process of performing object storage on the data to be stored based on the target gateway is refined.

[0108] See Figure 5 The object storage steps shown include:

[0109] The S510 performs format conversion on the data to be stored, based on the target gateway.

[0110] For example, since the storage device cannot be used to store data in block storage format; the storage device is used to store data in file storage format, in this embodiment, in order to complete the object storage task, the data to be stored in block storage format can be converted into target storage data in file storage format based on the target gateway. The target storage data is, in this case, data in file storage format.

[0111] For example, the s3backer component can be used to convert the format of the data to be stored. Alternatively, the data to be stored can be input into a format conversion model to obtain the converted data.

[0112] S520 stores the converted data to the corresponding storage device.

[0113] Specifically, in this embodiment, the target storage data is stored as an object.

[0114] In the above embodiments, in order to facilitate the storage device in storing the data to be stored, the data to be stored is converted in format before storage.

[0115] Based on the technical solutions of the above embodiments, this application also provides an optional embodiment. In this optional embodiment, the above object storage method is described in detail.

[0116] See Figure 6A The object storage methods shown include:

[0117] S610A, gateway deployment steps;

[0118] S620A, gateway allocation and object storage steps.

[0119] See Figure 6BThe gateway allocation and object storage steps shown above provide a detailed description of the S620A, including:

[0120] S610B receives object storage requests;

[0121] The object storage request contains the data to be stored.

[0122] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the user can install an iSCSI client, such as the iSCSI initiator under Linux, on the client side, and then connect to the iSCSI gateway created earlier via the network to directly read and write the disk and complete the data transmission and storage.

[0123] S620B, determine the sender of the object storage request;

[0124] S630B selects a target gateway that matches the request sender from at least two deployed candidate gateways, based on the request sender of the object storage request.

[0125] The S640B, based on the target gateway, converts data to be stored in block storage format into target storage data in file storage format.

[0126] For example, see Figure 6C The format conversion diagram illustrates that during object storage, the iSCSI component, NBDX, NBD server, and REST API can be used to convert the data to be stored from block storage format to file storage format. Similarly, during object reading, the REST API, NBD server, NBD_recv, NBDX, and iSCSI components can be used to convert the data to be read from file storage format to block storage format.

[0127] Among them, storage devices cannot be used to store data in block storage format; storage devices are used to store data in file storage format.

[0128] S650B performs object storage on target stored data.

[0129] It is understandable that although this application provides an object storage method, object reading can also be performed based on the gateway construction method provided in this application. The difference lies only in the data format conversion process. During object storage, the data to be stored in block storage format is converted into target storage data in file storage format. During object reading, the data to be read in file storage format is converted into data in block storage format. Therefore, this application will not elaborate further on the object reading process.

[0130] It should be understood that although the steps in the flowcharts of the embodiments described above are shown sequentially according to the arrows, these steps are not necessarily executed in the order indicated by the arrows. Unless explicitly stated herein, there is no strict order restriction on the execution of these steps, and they can be executed in other orders. Moreover, at least some steps in the flowcharts of the embodiments described above may include multiple steps or multiple stages. These steps or stages are not necessarily completed at the same time, but can be executed at different times. The execution order of these steps or stages is not necessarily sequential, but can be performed alternately or in turn with other steps or at least some of the steps or stages of other steps.

[0131] Based on the same inventive concept, this application also provides an object storage device for implementing the object storage method described above. The solution provided by this device is similar to the implementation described in the above method; therefore, the specific limitations in one or more object storage device embodiments provided below can be found in the limitations of the object storage method described above, and will not be repeated here.

These modules can be embedded in or independent of the processor in a computer device in hardware form, or stored in the memory of a computer device in software form, so that the processor can call and execute the operations corresponding to each module.
