Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of cloud computing technology or other related fields, and in particular to a cluster cost billing method and device based on billing item unit prices, and electronic equipment. Background Art

[0002] With the popularity of cloud services, cluster management of computing resources has been widely used in computer systems, networks or data center environments. This strategy of centralizing and coordinating multiple servers or multiple nodes can improve the efficiency of computing resources and reduce management costs. In cluster management, cost billing for clusters is the key to achieving high-quality management, especially in business scenarios with high resource consumption. Accurate and real-time cost billing for clusters is not only related to cost control, but also affects the efficiency of resource allocation and the sustainable development of the business.

[0003] In the related technology, the existing cluster cost billing strategy is usually implemented based on pre-configured files. These files set the resource unit price information in advance and are released with the cluster application. When the cluster application is started, the cluster application reads the resource unit price information by loading the configuration file, and uses the read information to calculate the cluster cost. This static configuration strategy meets the needs of cluster cost billing to a certain extent, but it does not support the real-time generation and modification of resource unit price information, does not support dynamic control of the effective time of resource unit price information, and does not support organizing pricing information by cluster dimension. These defects lead to the existing cluster cost billing strategy being insufficient in flexibility and ease of use.

[0004] To address the above-mentioned problems, no effective solution has been proposed yet. Summary of the invention

It should be noted that the steps shown in the flowchart of the accompanying drawings can be executed in a computer system such as a set of computer executable instructions, and although a logical order is shown in the flowchart, in some cases, the steps shown or described can be executed in an order different from that shown here.

[0046] The cluster cost billing method embodiment based on the billing item unit price provided in the first embodiment of the present application can be executed in a mobile terminal, a computer terminal or a similar computing device.

Figure 1 As shown, the computer terminal 10 (or mobile device) may include one or more ( Figure 1 102a, 102b, ..., 102n are used to illustrate) processor 102 (processor 102 may include but is not limited to a processing device such as a microprocessor MCU or a programmable logic device FPGA), a memory 104 for storing data, and a transmission device 106 for communication functions. In addition, it may also include: a display, an input / output interface (I / O interface), a universal serial bus (USB) port (which may be included as one of the ports of the BUS bus), a network interface, a power supply and / or a camera. It can be understood by those skilled in the art that Figure 1The structure shown is only for illustration and does not limit the structure of the above electronic device. Figure 1 More or fewer components as shown, or with Figure 1 Different configurations shown.

[0047] It should be noted that the one or more processors 102 and / or other data processing circuits described above may generally be referred to herein as "data processing circuits". The data processing circuits may be embodied in whole or in part as software, hardware, firmware, or any other combination thereof. In addition, the data processing circuit may be a single independent processing module, or may be incorporated in whole or in part into any of the other components in the computer terminal 10 (or mobile device). As described in the embodiments of the present application, the data processing circuit acts as a processor control (e.g., selection of a variable resistor terminal path connected to an interface).

[0048] The memory 104 can be used to store software programs and modules of application software, such as the program instructions / data storage device corresponding to the cluster cost billing method based on the unit price of billing items in the embodiment of the present application.

[0050] The display may be, for example, a touch screen liquid crystal display (LCD), which may enable a user to interact with a user interface of the computer terminal 10 (or mobile device).

[0051] Under the above operating environment, this application provides Figure 2 The cluster cost billing method shown is based on the unit price of the billing item. Figure 2 is a flow chart of an optional cluster cost billing method based on billing item unit price according to an embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 2 As shown, the method comprises the following steps:

[0052] Step S201, responding to the cost charging request of the target cluster, obtaining a current pricing scheme list from the charging system, and putting the current pricing scheme list into a first candidate list when the effective cluster list in the current pricing scheme list includes the target cluster.

[0053] The billing system is always ready to receive cost billing requests for a specific cluster (target cluster). After receiving the request, it will first obtain the current latest pricing plan list from the internal cache of the billing system in real time, and then perform a preliminary screening of the obtained pricing plan list to determine the pricing plan list related to the target cluster.

[0054] During the preliminary screening, an "effective cluster list" is extracted from the currently acquired latest pricing plan list. The "effective cluster list" contains all clusters to which the currently acquired latest pricing plan list applies. The embodiment of the present invention determines whether the target cluster exists in the "effective cluster list". If so, the currently acquired latest pricing plan list is placed in the first alternative list; if not, the pricing plan list is skipped without any processing.

[0055] It should be noted that when the billing system needs to process a large number of cost billing requests at the same time, it will face high concurrency. In order to ensure the efficiency of cluster cost billing, the embodiment of the present invention uses a distributed cache to store the pricing scheme list. At the same time, when caching the pricing scheme list, the effective time, activation status and other information can be filtered in advance, and only a part of the pricing scheme list is saved in the cache.

[0056] Step S202, obtaining the activation status of all pricing scheme lists in the first candidate list, and putting the pricing scheme lists with the activation status of "started" into the second candidate list.

[0057] After obtaining the first alternative list, the billing system performs a second screening of the pricing plan list. In this stage, the billing system checks the "enabled status" of each pricing plan list in the first alternative list, which is a key indicator of whether the pricing plan list can take effect. When the "enabled status" is "enabled", it indicates that the corresponding pricing plan list is valid, and the billing system puts the pricing plan list into the second alternative list; when the "enabled status" is "not enabled", it indicates that the corresponding pricing plan list is invalid, and the billing system skips the pricing plan list, does not process it, and continues to obtain the next pricing plan list in the first alternative list.

[0058] Step S203, obtaining the effective time of all pricing scheme lists in the second candidate list, and putting the pricing scheme lists whose effective time includes the current time point into the third candidate list.

[0059] After obtaining the second candidate list, the billing system screens the pricing plan list for the third time to ensure that only the pricing plan list that is valid at the current time point is used for cluster cost calculation. In this stage, the billing system obtains the "effective time" of each pricing plan list in the second candidate list. The "effective time" defines the effective start and end time of the pricing plan list. When the current time point is in the "effective time", it indicates that the corresponding pricing plan list is valid, and the billing system puts the pricing plan list into the third candidate list; when the current time point is outside the "effective time", it indicates that the corresponding pricing plan list is invalid, and the billing system skips the pricing plan list, does not process it, and continues to obtain the next pricing plan list in the second candidate list.

[0060] Step S204, determine the pricing scheme list ranked as the first priority in the third alternative list as the target pricing scheme list, and calculate the cost of the target cluster based on the pricing details in the target pricing scheme list, where the pricing details include: billing item name, billing item unit price data and billing item unit price unit.

[0061] After obtaining the third candidate list, the billing system screens the pricing scheme list for the fourth time. In this stage, the billing system sorts all the pricing scheme lists in the third candidate list according to the pre-configured priority, and selects the pricing scheme list with the highest priority as the target pricing scheme list, that is, when the target cluster is associated with multiple pricing scheme lists, the pricing scheme list with the highest priority will be selected for subsequent cluster cost calculation, which reflects the logic and efficiency of the billing system in handling conflicts among multiple schemes.

[0062] After the target pricing plan list is determined, the billing system calculates the cost of the target cluster based on the pricing details in the target pricing plan list. The pricing details include the unit price information of each billing item, such as the unit price data and unit price units of resources such as CPU (central processing unit), RAM (random access memory), GPU (graphics processing unit), and Network. The billing system parses these data from the pricing details, and then calculates the cost of the target cluster based on the actual resource usage of the target cluster on the corresponding billing items.

[0063] Through a series of screening mechanisms including preliminary screening, second screening, third screening, and fourth screening, the target pricing plan list finally determined by the billing system is the most suitable and highest priority valid pricing plan list at the current time point. This screening mechanism ensures the accuracy and rigor of the cluster cost billing process.

[0064] Optionally, before responding to the cost billing request of the target cluster, it includes: the billing system receives a front-end interface login request initiated by an external terminal; the front-end interface receives a new pricing plan list creation request initiated by the external terminal and input data information of the new pricing plan list, or receives an original pricing plan list modification request and input data modification information of the original pricing plan list.

[0065] It should be noted that the data information or data modification information includes at least one of the following: pricing plan name, pricing plan description information, pricing details, effective cluster list, effective time, enabled status and priority.

[0066] In step S201, before responding to the cost billing request of the target cluster, the external terminal or operation object logs in to the front-end interface of the billing system, creates and modifies the pricing plan list in the front-end interface, and then the billing system receives the login request, creation request and modification request initiated by the external terminal or operation object.

[0067] When an external terminal or operation object decides to create a new pricing plan list, a new pricing plan list can be created through the front-end interface and the data information therein can be configured. Then the billing system receives the creation request for the new pricing plan list and receives the data information of the new pricing plan list. The received data information includes: pricing plan name, pricing plan description information, pricing details, effective cluster list, effective time, enabled status and priority.

[0068] When the external terminal or operation object decides to modify the pricing plan list, select any original pricing plan list from the front-end interface to initiate a modification request, and then the billing system receives the modification request for the original pricing plan list and receives the data modification information of the original pricing plan list. The received data modification information includes any one or more of the pricing plan name, pricing plan description information, pricing details, effective cluster list, effective time, enabled status and priority of the list.

[0069] It should be noted that the billing system is a pre-built platform for cluster cost billing, which includes a front-end interface and a back-end. In the embodiment of the present invention, it is possible to realize the real-time reception of multiple creation and modification requests and corresponding data initiated by an external terminal or an operation object at the same time, and after receiving the creation and modification requests and corresponding data, the embodiment of the present invention will synchronously update the data information to the internal cache data of the billing system and save it in time.

[0070] Optionally, the step of receiving data information or data modification information input by an external terminal at the front-end interface of the billing system includes: receiving the pricing scheme name and pricing scheme description information input or modified by the external terminal at the pricing scheme editing page of the front-end interface, wherein the pricing scheme description information includes an introduction to the pricing scheme list; receiving the billing item unit price data input or modified by the external terminal based on the billing item name and the billing item unit price unit in the pricing details, wherein the billing item unit price data is a positive number.

[0071] In the embodiment of the present invention, the pricing scheme name is used to distinguish different pricing scheme lists. The external terminal or the operating object can input the pricing scheme name through the front-end interface of the billing system. The pricing scheme name must be a clear and descriptive name to facilitate subsequent management and identification. The input pricing scheme name is then received by the billing system. The pricing scheme description information is an additional description of the pricing scheme list, which may include the target, applicable scenarios, special conditions, etc. of the pricing scheme list, which helps the external terminal or the operating object understand the intention and scope of application of the pricing scheme list.

[0072] The pricing details are the core part of the pricing plan list, including the unit price information of each billing item, specifically including the billing item name, billing item unit price data and billing item unit price unit of each billing item, where the billing item name is the resource type of the billing item, for example: CPU (central processing unit), RAM (random access memory), GPU (graphics processing unit), Network; the billing item unit price data is the actual billing amount entered or modified by the external terminal or operation object, reflecting the cost consumed per unit resource (per unit billing item), and the billing system receives the billing item unit price data entered or modified by the external terminal or operation object; the billing item unit price unit is the unit of measurement for billing item pricing, for example: RMB / hour / core, RMB / GB / month, etc. It should be noted that the billing item name and billing item unit price unit are predefined in the billing system and cannot be changed.

[0073] The external terminal or operation object configures the pricing plan name, pricing plan description information and pricing details on the pricing plan editing page of the front-end interface. After receiving this configuration information, the billing system uses it in subsequent cluster cost calculation operations.

[0074] It should be noted that when the billing system receives the unit price data of the billing item in the pricing details, it will verify whether the input unit price data of the billing item is a positive number and whether it contains special characters. When the input unit price data of the billing item is not a positive number or contains special characters, the billing system will issue an error prompt.

[0075] Optionally, the step of receiving data information or data modification information input by an external terminal by the front-end interface of the billing system also includes: receiving one or more clusters selected by the external terminal from the full number of clusters of the billing system, and generating an effective cluster of the pricing scheme list based on the selected cluster; receiving the effective time of the pricing scheme list input or modified by the external terminal, wherein the effective time includes: the starting effective time and the ending effective time of the pricing scheme list; receiving the enabled status of the pricing scheme list input or modified by the external terminal, wherein the enabled status includes: started, not started; receiving the priority of the pricing scheme list input or modified by the external terminal, wherein the priority is used to determine the target pricing scheme list based on the priority when the target cluster is associated with multiple pricing scheme lists.

[0076] In an embodiment of the present invention, the effective cluster list is a set of clusters to which the pricing plan list is applicable. The external terminal or operation object can select one or more clusters from the full set of clusters provided by the billing system as applicable clusters (i.e., effective clusters) for the pricing plan list, and then the billing system receives the effective clusters, where the effective clusters are presented in the form of a list.

[0077] The effective time is the effective period of the pricing plan list, including the starting effective time and the ending effective time. The external terminal or operation object can input or modify the effective time through the front-end interface of the billing system based on the business cycle and market conditions, and then the effective time is received by the billing system. When the current time point is within the effective time range, the pricing plan list can be used. When the current time point is outside the effective time range, the pricing plan list cannot be used. By receiving the input or modified effective time in real time, the cluster cost billing strategy can be adjusted dynamically in real time, thereby responding to cluster changes and optimizing operating costs.

[0078] The enablement status is a binary attribute. The external terminal or operation object can select "start" or "not start" a pricing file list through the front-end interface of the billing system, and then the billing system receives the enablement status. When the enablement status is "start", the pricing plan list can be used. When the enablement status is "not started", the pricing plan list cannot be used. By receiving the selected enablement status in real time, a specific pricing plan list can be flexibly started and stopped, especially when emergency adjustments are required, the cluster cost billing strategy can respond quickly to needs.

[0079] Priority is the basis for the billing system to select the target pricing plan list when a cluster is associated with multiple pricing plan lists. The pricing plan list with a high priority will be used first. The external terminal or operation object enters or modifies the priority through the front-end interface of the billing system, and then the billing system receives the priority. By receiving the input or modified priority in real time, it can adapt to the priority requirements of different scenarios.

[0080] The external terminal or operation object selects, enters or modifies the effective cluster list, effective period, enabled status and priority through the pricing plan editing page of the billing system front interface. After receiving this data information, the billing system uses it in subsequent cluster cost calculation operations. After completing the configuration of all data information in the pricing plan list, the external terminal or operation object saves the data information and exits the pricing plan editing page.

[0081] Optionally, after putting the pricing scheme list whose effective time includes the current time into the third candidate list, the method includes: when the third candidate list is empty, ending the cost billing operation of the target cluster.

[0082] In the embodiment of the present invention, after completing the verification of the effective time of the pricing scheme list in the second candidate list and putting the pricing scheme lists whose effective time includes the current time point into the third candidate list, the billing system will detect whether the third candidate list is empty. If it is found that the third candidate list is empty, it means that there is no effective pricing scheme list that can be applied to the cost calculation of the target cluster at the current time point. In this case, the billing system will end the cost billing operation of the target cluster and issue an alarm prompt.

[0083] Optionally, before calculating the cost of the target cluster, the method includes: querying resource usage data of the target cluster, wherein the resource usage data includes usage data of all billing items.

[0084] In the embodiment of the present invention, before calculating the cost of the target cluster, it is necessary to query the resource usage data of the target cluster. The resource usage data directly reflects the actual usage resources of all billing items in the target cluster, and the resource usage data is presented in a numerical form.

[0085] Optionally, the step of calculating the cost of the target cluster based on the pricing details in the target pricing scheme list includes: obtaining the pricing details in the target pricing scheme list, and parsing the unit price data of all billing items from the pricing details; calculating the cost of each billing item based on the usage data and the parsed unit price data of the billing items, and adding up the costs of all billing items to obtain the cost of the target cluster.

[0086] In the embodiment of the present invention, when calculating the cost of the target cluster, the pricing details are obtained from the target pricing scheme list, and then the unit price data of all billing items are parsed from the pricing details, and then the resource usage data is matched with the corresponding unit price data of the billing items. The unit price data of each billing item is multiplied by the corresponding resource usage to obtain the cost of the billing item, and the billing system then adds up the costs of all billing items to calculate the cost of the target cluster.

[0087] It should be noted that the process of cost billing for a target cluster in an embodiment of the present invention can be called a cycle. If the billing system encounters an exception during the current execution cycle, such as network interruption or cache connection loss, the billing system will try to reconnect. If it still fails after multiple retries, the billing system will record the exception and send an alarm, then skip the current cycle and execute the tasks of the next cycle.

[0088] The steps provided by the above-mentioned cluster cost billing method based on unit price of billing items realize the technical effect of creating and modifying the pricing scheme including the unit price information of billing items in real time by receiving the data information of the pricing scheme list input or modified by the external terminal or operation object in real time by the billing system, and the changed pricing scheme takes effect immediately. At the same time, the embodiment of the present invention can simultaneously receive the creation and modification data of multiple pricing schemes, and has both flexibility and efficiency.

[0089] By responding to the cost billing request of the target cluster, the current pricing plan list is obtained from the billing system. When the effective cluster list in the current pricing plan list includes the target cluster, the current pricing plan list is placed in the first alternative list, thereby achieving the technical effect of managing and controlling multi-cluster pricing information.

[0090] In this embodiment, by obtaining the enabled status of all pricing scheme lists in the first alternative list, the pricing scheme lists with enabled status of enabled are placed in the second alternative list, and then the effective time of all pricing scheme lists in the second alternative list is obtained, and the pricing scheme lists whose effective time includes the current time point are placed in the third alternative list, and then the pricing scheme list ranked as the first priority in the third alternative list is determined as the target pricing scheme list, thereby achieving the technical effect of flexibly controlling the effective time and priority of the pricing scheme.

[0091] Finally, by calculating the cost of the target cluster based on the pricing details in the target pricing plan list, the resource cost billing of the target cluster is realized, thereby solving the technical problems in related technologies that cluster cost billing does not support multi-cluster pricing information management and control and does not support effective time management.
