Description

Technical Field

[0001] Embodiments of the present invention relate to the field of cloud network technology, and in particular, to a resource status determination method, system, device and product. Background Art

[0002] Cloud networking uses the cloud (a centralized third-party resource provider) to enable connectivity between network resources. Cloud networking acts as a gatekeeper for applications, and mastering this concept means that you can leverage the cloud for infrastructure, network management, network monitoring, and maintenance. In other words, you can design, configure, manage, and fine-tune network resources in the cloud to create simple and resilient networks.

[0003] With cloud networking, the network can be either cloud-enabled or fully cloud-based. In cloud-enabled networking, the network is on-premises, but some or all of the resources used to manage it are in the cloud. The core network infrastructure (packet forwarding, routing, and data) remains on-premises, but things like network management, monitoring, maintenance, and security services are done through the cloud. For example, using a SaaS-based firewall to protect an on-premises network. In cloud-based networking, the entire network is in the cloud, and this includes network management resources and physical hardware. Cloud-based networking is used to provide connectivity between applications and resources deployed in the cloud.

[0004] Among them, the visibility of the system (cloud) status refers to the degree to which the system status is communicated to the user. Ideally, the system should always let the user know what is happening through appropriate feedback within a reasonable time. However, due to the lack of implementation of resource status visibility in the current cloud network, it is unknown whether the cloud network resources have been created / configured at the bottom layer, and there is a problem that the status of the cloud network resources in the system cannot be confirmed.

[0033] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are 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 are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0034] refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1 FIG. 1 is a flow chart of a method for determining resource status according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 1 As shown, the resource status determination method of this embodiment may include the following steps:

[0035] Step S11: The resource lifecycle management service receives a cloud network resource operation request initiated by a user, determines the identifier of the cloud network resource, and forwards the cloud network resource operation request to a corresponding gateway controller based on the identifier of the cloud network resource; the resource lifecycle management service is in communication connection with multiple gateway controllers.

[0036] In this embodiment, a user may initiate a cloud network resource operation request to request related operations on cloud network resources. For example, the cloud network resource operation request may include at least any of the following: a cloud network resource creation request, a cloud network resource query request, a cloud network resource update request, a cloud network resource deletion request, etc. Among them, cloud network resources may include but are not limited to: a virtual router, a virtual private network (VPN), a virtual firewall, a data connection, a load balancer, a virtual bridge, a virtual adapter, etc.

[0037] The resource lifecycle management service is responsible for receiving cloud network resource operation requests initiated by users and forwarding them to the gateway controller. The resource lifecycle management service is connected to multiple gateway controllers, which correspond to gateways one by one, and each gateway corresponds to multiple cloud network resources.

[0038] Specifically, the resource lifecycle management service can determine the identifier of the cloud network resource based on the received cloud network resource operation request, and then determine the gateway corresponding to the cloud network resource based on the identifier of the cloud network resource, thereby forwarding the cloud network resource operation request to the gateway controller corresponding to the gateway corresponding to the cloud network resource.

[0039] In an optional implementation, when the resource lifecycle management service receives a cloud network resource creation request from a user, it will, based on the identifier of the cloud network resource to be created in the cloud network resource creation request, store the cloud network resource to be created in the database, so that the resource lifecycle management service can manage all created / existing cloud network resources and ensure the management and forwarding of subsequent cloud network resource query / update / deletion requests.

[0040] Step S12: The gateway controller converts the cloud network resource operation request into cloud network resource configuration information and sends it to the corresponding gateway; the gateway controller corresponds to the gateway one by one.

[0041] In this embodiment, the gateway controller is responsible for translating the cloud network resource operation request sent by the resource lifecycle management service into configuration information recognizable by the gateway and sending it to the corresponding gateway. Specifically, after receiving the cloud network resource operation request, the gateway controller can convert the cloud network resource operation request into cloud network resource configuration information recognizable by the gateway and send it to the corresponding gateway.

[0042] In an optional implementation, after receiving a cloud network resource operation request, the gateway controller may pull the cloud network resource details, determine the details of the cloud network resource corresponding to the cloud network resource operation request from the cloud network resource details, and convert the cloud network resource operation request into cloud network resource configuration information recognizable by the gateway based on the details of the cloud network resource and send it to the gateway. Among them, for the cloud network resources sent for the first time, that is, for the cloud network resources to be created, the gateway controller will wait for the cloud network resource configuration result returned by the creation and send it to the managed cloud network resource details.

[0043] Step S13: The gateway performs cloud network resource configuration based on the cloud network resource configuration information, obtains a cloud network resource configuration result and returns it to the gateway controller.

[0044] In this embodiment, the gateway is responsible for forwarding specific network traffic. After receiving the cloud network resource configuration information sent by the gateway controller, the gateway can determine the corresponding cloud network resource based on the identifier of the cloud network resource in the cloud network resource configuration information, and perform cloud network resource configuration of the corresponding cloud network resource based on the cloud network resource configuration information (for example, delete, create, update, query, etc.), and obtain the cloud network resource configuration result of the corresponding cloud network resource, and then return the cloud network resource configuration result to the gateway controller.

[0045] Step S14: The gateway controller sends the cloud network resource configuration result to the resource lifecycle management service in the form of a status update through a state machine for display to the user.

[0046] In this embodiment, a state machine for cloud network resources is provided in the gateway controller. The state machine is used to ensure the visibility of the effectiveness of cloud network resources at the bottom layer, and to ensure that each state is predictable and operational, so as to prevent the occurrence of unknown states. That is to say, this embodiment ensures the visibility and accessibility of the state of cloud network resources by setting up a state machine.

[0047] After receiving the cloud network resource configuration result returned by the gateway, the gateway controller can send the cloud network resource configuration result in the form of a status update to the resource lifecycle management service through the state machine based on the cloud network resource configuration result for display to the user.

[0048] In this embodiment, cloud network resource operation requests are converted, forwarded and responded to through the resource lifecycle management service, the gateway controller and the gateway, and the cloud network resource configuration results are sent to the resource lifecycle management service in the form of a status update through the state machine for display to the user. In this way, this embodiment sets a state machine for cloud network resources in the gateway controller, and returns the cloud network resource configuration results returned by the gateway to the resource lifecycle management service in the form of a status update through the set state machine for display to the user, thereby achieving visibility of the status of cloud network resources in the cloud, ensuring visibility of the effectiveness of cloud network resources at the bottom layer, and ensuring that each state is foreseeable and operational, preventing the occurrence of unknown states.

[0049] like Figure 2 As shown, Figure 2 1 is a flowchart of a method for determining the state of cloud network resources proposed in one embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2 In this example, we take the creation of cloud network resources as an example. The specific implementation process is as follows:

[0050] ① Resource lifecycle management services (such as API-server, including lifecycle management of VPC, ELB, etc.) receive cloud network resource creation requests from users, store the resources in the database, and notify the gateway controller.

[0051] ② The gateway controller pulls the cloud network resource details, translates the cloud network resource creation request into a configuration that the gateway can recognize, and sends it to the gateway. At this time, for the resources sent for the first time, the gateway controller waits for the gateway to return the result; in addition, in an optional embodiment, the gateway controller will regularly perform configuration checks on the gateway and collect the results.

[0052] ③ The gateway feeds back the configuration results of creating cloud network resources to the gateway controller through HTTP communication connection.

[0053] ④ The gateway controller sends the collected configuration information on the gateway to the resource lifecycle management service in the form of status updates for display to users.

[0054] In combination with the above embodiments, in one implementation, an embodiment of the present invention further provides a method for determining resource status. Specifically, in this embodiment, in addition to the above steps, step S21 is also included, and the above step S14 may specifically include steps S22 to S24:

[0055] Step S21: the gateway controller obtains the first state of the cloud network resources at the last moment.

[0056] In this embodiment, the gateway corresponds to multiple cloud network resources, and the gateway will regularly feedback the status of its corresponding cloud network resources to the gateway controller. After receiving the cloud network resource configuration result returned by the gateway, the gateway controller of this embodiment can obtain the first state of the cloud network resource at the last moment. The first state refers to the state of the cloud network resource at the last moment.

[0057] Step S22: The gateway controller determines the second state of the cloud network resources at the current moment based on the cloud network resource configuration result.

[0058] In this embodiment, the gateway controller may determine the second state of the cloud network resource at the current moment based on the cloud network resource configuration result returned by the gateway, wherein the second state refers to the state of the cloud network resource at the current moment.

[0059] Step S23: The gateway controller determines the state information of the cloud network resources through the state machine based on the first state and the second state.

[0060] In this embodiment, the state machine of the cloud network resource set in the gateway controller defines the resource state corresponding to the state transition relationship of the cloud network resource, ensuring that each state of the cloud network resource is reachable and can be accurately defined. The gateway controller can determine the state information of the cloud network resource through the state machine based on the first state and the second state of the cloud network resource.

[0061] Step S24: The gateway controller sends the status information of the cloud network resources to the resource lifecycle management service, and displays it to the user in the form of status update.

[0062] In this embodiment, after determining the status information of the cloud network resource, the gateway controller may send the status information of the cloud network resource to the resource lifecycle management service and display it to the user in the form of a status update.

[0063] In combination with the above embodiments, in one implementation, the present invention also provides a method for determining resource status. Specifically, in this method, the above step S23 may include steps S31 to S34:

[0064] Step S31: when the first state is an initial state and the second state is an effective state, the gateway controller determines through the state machine that the state information of the cloud network resource is: the cloud network resource is created and sent to the gateway successfully.

[0065] In this embodiment, the state machine is defined as follows: an initial state, an effective state, and an error state; wherein the initial state indicates that the cloud network resource is not effective at the bottom layer (indicating that the resource has not been issued, i.e., the resource has not been created), the effective state indicates that the cloud network resource is effective at the bottom layer, and the error state indicates that the state of the cloud network resource at the bottom layer is unknown, i.e., an error state.

[0066] When the gateway controller determines that the first state is the initial state and the second state is the effective state, the gateway controller can determine through the state machine that the state information of the cloud network resource is: the creation of the cloud network resource is successfully sent to the gateway, which means that the cloud network resource is successfully created.

[0067] Step S32: When the first state is a valid state and the second state is an error state, the gateway controller determines through the state machine that the state information of the cloud network resource is: updating / querying the cloud network resource on the gateway fails.

[0068] In this embodiment, when the gateway controller determines that the first state is a valid state and the second state is an error state, the gateway controller can determine through the state machine that the state information of the cloud network resource is: update / query of the cloud network resource on the gateway fails.

[0069] Step S33: When the first state is an error state and the second state is a valid state, the gateway controller determines through the state machine that the state information of the cloud network resource is: the update / query of the cloud network resource on the gateway is successful.

[0070] In this embodiment, when the gateway controller determines that the first state is an error state and the second state is a valid state, the gateway controller can determine through the state machine that the state information of the cloud network resource is: the cloud network resource is updated / queried successfully on the gateway.

[0071] Step S34: When the first state is a valid state and the second state is an initial state, or when the first state is an error state and the second state is an initial state, the gateway controller determines through the state machine that the state information of the cloud network resource is: the cloud network resource is successfully deleted on the gateway.

[0072] In this embodiment, when the gateway controller determines that the first state is the effective state and the second state is the initial state, the gateway controller can determine through the state machine that the state information of the cloud network resource is: the cloud network resource is successfully deleted on the gateway. When the gateway controller determines that the first state is the error state and the second state is the initial state, the gateway controller can determine through the state machine that the state information of the cloud network resource is: the cloud network resource is successfully deleted on the gateway.

[0073] like Figure 3 As shown, Figure 3 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of state transition in a state machine proposed in one embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2 In the description, each status is as follows:

[0074] DOWN: Initial state, indicating that the cloud network resources are not effective at the bottom layer.

[0075] UP: Indicates that cloud network resources are effective at the bottom layer.

[0076] ERROR: Indicates that the actual status of the cloud network resources at the bottom layer is unknown, which is an error.

[0077] Introduction to the transition between states:

[0078] DOWN→UP: The cloud network resource is created and sent to the gateway successfully (i.e. Figure 3 in create).

[0079] UP→ERROR: Failed to update / query cloud network resources on the gateway (i.e. Figure 3 in the error).

[0080] UP→DOWN: The cloud network resource is deleted successfully on the gateway (i.e. Figure 3 in the .

[0081] ERROR→UP: Update / query cloud network resources on the gateway successfully (i.e. Figure 3 in the update).

[0082] ERROR→DOWN: The cloud network resource was successfully deleted on the gateway (i.e. Figure 3 in the .

[0083] In one embodiment, the resource status determination method proposed in this embodiment can achieve elastic load balancing.

[0084] In combination with the above embodiment, in another implementation, the embodiment of the present invention further provides a method for determining resource status. Specifically, in this embodiment, in addition to the above steps, steps S41 to S44 may also be included:

[0085] Step S41: The gateway controller periodically obtains cloud network resource configuration result information from the corresponding gateway.

[0086] In this embodiment, the gateway controller periodically obtains cloud network resource configuration result information from its corresponding gateway, wherein the cloud network resource configuration result information includes configuration information of multiple cloud network resources corresponding to the gateway, and the configuration information represents the resource status of the cloud network resources.

[0087] Step S42: When the gateway controller determines that the received cloud network resource operation request is a cloud network resource query request, it determines whether the corresponding gateway is faulty.

[0088] In this embodiment, when the gateway controller determines that the received cloud network resource operation request is a cloud network resource query request, it may first determine that a gateway corresponding to the gateway controller performs fault detection to determine whether the gateway is faulty.

[0089] When the gateway controller determines that the corresponding gateway is not faulty, it can send the cloud network resource query request to the corresponding gateway to wait for the gateway to return the configuration information of the cloud network resource, and then determine the cloud network resource query result of the cloud network resource based on the configuration information at the previous moment and the configuration information returned by the gateway at the current moment through the state machine, and send it to the resource lifecycle management service for display to the user.

[0090] Step S43: When determining that the corresponding gateway fails, the gateway controller determines the cloud network resource query result through a state machine based on the cloud network resource query request and the regularly acquired cloud network resource configuration result information.

[0091] In this embodiment, when the gateway controller determines that the corresponding gateway has failed, it can determine the latest configuration information of the cloud network resources corresponding to the cloud network resource query request from the cloud network resource configuration result information based on the cloud network resource query request and the regularly obtained cloud network resource configuration result information, thereby determining the latest status of the cloud network resources corresponding to the cloud network resource query request; and then determine the cloud network resource query result of the cloud network resource through the state machine based on the configuration information at the previous moment (status information at the previous moment) and the latest configuration information of the cloud network resources obtained from the regularly obtained cloud network resource configuration results (the latest status of the cloud network resources).

[0092] Step S44: The gateway controller sends the cloud network resource query result to the resource lifecycle management service for display to the user.

[0093] In this embodiment, after obtaining the cloud network resource query result, the gateway controller may send the cloud network resource query result to the resource lifecycle management service for display to the user.

[0094] In this embodiment, the gateway controller can periodically obtain the configuration of cloud network resources from the gateway so that it can still query the cloud network resources and return the query results in time when the gateway fails, preventing the gateway from causing configuration failure and inability to present to users in a timely and accurate manner.

[0095] In combination with the above embodiment, in another implementation, the embodiment of the present invention further provides a method for determining resource status. In this embodiment, the above step S24 may include step S51 and step S52:

[0096] Step S51: the gateway controller aggregates the status information of the plurality of cloud network resources within the first time period to obtain a status aggregation result.

[0097] To prevent the problem of inaccurate status display caused by heavy load on resource lifecycle management services due to simultaneous reporting of multiple cloud network resources, the gateway controller in this embodiment can aggregate and uniformly report the status of multiple cloud network resources.

[0098] Specifically, the gateway controller aggregates the state information of multiple cloud network resources received within the first time to obtain a state aggregation result. The first time is the specified time for the gateway controller to aggregate the state information. For example, the first time can be 10 seconds, 1 minute, 2 minutes, etc. This embodiment does not impose any restrictions on the specific value of the first time. If the first time is 10 seconds, the gateway will aggregate the state information of multiple cloud network resources received within every 10 seconds to obtain a state aggregation result.

[0099] Step S52: the gateway controller sends the status aggregation results to the resource lifecycle management service to display them to the user.

[0100] In this embodiment, after obtaining the state combination result, the gateway controller may send the state aggregation result to the resource lifecycle management service to display it to the user.

[0101] like Figure 4 As shown, Figure 4 FIG. 1 is a diagram showing an example of a cloud network resource state change according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 4 In the example, the cloud network resource status changes as follows:

[0102] ① The user creates a cloud network resource request and creates a cloud network resource instance through the api-server (i.e., resource lifecycle management service).

[0103] ②The api-server notifies the gw-controller (gateway controller) of the user's cloud network resource creation message (i.e., the created resources).

[0104] ③gw-controller pulls the details of the cloud network resources, translates the cloud network resource creation message into a configuration recognizable by the GW (gateway), and sends it to the GW.

[0105] ④GW returns the request of gw-controller to create / update / delete / query cloud network resource configuration, and gw-controller periodically pulls the configuration status on GW.

[0106] ⑤gw-controller feeds back the configuration status on GW to api-server. Specifically, gw-controller aggregates the cloud network resource status and sends it to api-server for update.

[0107] It should be noted that, for the sake of simplicity, the method embodiments are described as a series of action combinations, but those skilled in the art should be aware that the embodiments of the present invention are not limited by the order of the actions described, because according to the embodiments of the present invention, certain steps can be performed in other orders or simultaneously.
