Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of distributed systems, and more particularly to an automated configuration method, apparatus, device, and medium for applications. Background Technology

[0002] With the deepening of digital transformation, microservices and multi-cloud deployment have become mainstream architectural trends. Applications need to adapt to the dynamic deployment requirements of multiple environments and clusters, significantly increasing the complexity of configuration management. Traditional application configuration relies on manual operations. Deploying in different operating environments requires developers to sort out configuration changes one by one. This is not only cumbersome and consumes a lot of human resources, but it is also very easy to cause problems such as inconsistent configurations and incorrect parameters across environments due to human error, which directly affects the efficiency of application launch and operational stability.

[0003] To address the drawbacks of manual configuration, continuous integration and continuous deployment automation tools have emerged. However, these tools generally employ a push-based deployment model, which still has significant shortcomings: They require the installation of additional configuration auxiliary tools and multi-layered authorization to container clusters and platforms, resulting in lengthy and complex configuration processes and low efficiency. Furthermore, this model cannot proactively perceive the actual state of the application after deployment, making it difficult to detect deviations between the expected configuration and the running state in real time. Additional resources are needed for consistency verification, further impacting configuration accuracy. Moreover, existing automation solutions have shortcomings in version control; the transmission and synchronization of configuration changes are not timely, making it difficult to adapt to the needs of multi-version iterations of microservices and dynamic adjustments in multi-cloud environments, compromising configuration timeliness. With the surge in the number of microservices and the heterogeneity of deployment environments, these problems become increasingly prominent: the low efficiency, inaccuracy, and timeliness of application configuration directly restrict the speed of application deployment and operational stability; and the complex configuration processes, authorization operations, and deviation troubleshooting require continuous and substantial investment of human resources for maintenance.

[0004] In summary, existing application configuration methods suffer from low configuration efficiency, poor accuracy and timeliness, and high human resource requirements. Summary of the Invention

[0005] This invention provides an automated configuration method, apparatus, device, and medium for applications, which can solve the problems of low configuration efficiency, poor accuracy and timeliness of application configuration, and high demand for human resources in existing application configuration methods.

[0006] In a first aspect, embodiments of the present invention provide an automated configuration method for an application, executed by a server, the method comprising:

[0007] Check if a local reference file exists in the server's local storage;

[0008] After detecting that the local reference file does not exist, the target configuration file in the remote code repository is copied in its entirety to obtain the local reference file;

[0009] The system monitors the target configuration file in the remote code repository in real time, and generates a target data request and sends it to the remote code repository after detecting that the target configuration file has been updated.

[0010] In response to receiving the target configuration file, the server configures the target application based on the local reference file and the target configuration file.

[0011] Secondly, embodiments of the present invention provide an automated configuration method for an application, executed by a remote code repository, the method comprising:

[0012] In response to the user's configuration file upload operation, the target configuration file of the target application is received;

[0013] In response to a user's modification of the target configuration file, the target configuration file is updated;

[0018] The file monitoring module is used to monitor the target configuration file in the remote code repository in real time, and generate a target data request and send it to the remote code repository after monitoring that the target configuration file has been updated.

[0019] The application configuration module is used to respond to the receipt of the target configuration file and configure the target application on the server based on the local reference file and the target configuration file.

[0020] Fourthly, embodiments of the present invention provide an automated configuration device for an application, executed by a remote code repository, the device comprising:

[0021] The file upload module is used to respond to the user's configuration file upload operation and receive the target configuration file of the target application.

[0022] The file modification module is used to update the target configuration file in response to the user's modification operation on the target configuration file;

[0028] In a sixth aspect, embodiments of the present invention provide a computer-readable storage medium storing computer instructions that, when executed by a processor, implement an automated configuration method for an application as described in any embodiment of the present invention.

This solves the problems of low application configuration efficiency, poor accuracy and timeliness of application configuration, and high human resource requirements in existing application configuration methods. It realizes automated application configuration, improves application configuration efficiency, ensures the accuracy and timeliness of application configuration, and saves human resources.

It should be understood that such data can be interchanged where appropriate so that the embodiments of the invention described herein can be implemented in orders other than those illustrated or described herein. Furthermore, any variations of the terms "comprising" and "having" are intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion; for example, a process, method, system, product, or apparatus that comprises a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units explicitly listed, but may include other steps or units not explicitly listed or inherent to such processes, methods, products, or apparatus.

[0039] Example 1

[0040] Figure 1 This is a flowchart of an automated configuration method for an application provided in Embodiment 1 of the present invention. This embodiment is applicable to situations where an application is automatically configured using a server. The method can be executed by an automated configuration device for the application, which can be implemented in hardware and / or software. The automated configuration device for the application can be configured in a server that has automated configuration functionality for the application.

[0041] like Figure 1 As shown, the method includes:

[0042] S110. Check if a local reference file exists in the local storage of the server.

[0043] The reference file refers to the benchmark file used for synchronous comparison with the target configuration file in the remote code repository.

[0044] S120. After detecting that the local reference file does not exist, the target configuration file in the remote code repository is copied in full to obtain the local reference file.

[0045] In this embodiment, the remote code repository can specifically be a Git repository; wherein, the Git repository is used to centrally store all code files, configuration files and related resources of the project, and to fully record every modification in the process of the project from creation to iteration, forming a traceable version history.

[0046] The specific steps for fully copying the target configuration file from the remote code repository to obtain a local reference file are as follows: First, establish a connection with the remote code repository through secure repository access protocols such as HTTPS and SSH. After completing authentication and permission verification, locate the preset target configuration file in the remote repository, and then perform a full copy operation on the file. During the copying process, the file format legality, data integrity, and file size consistency are verified in real time to avoid file corruption due to network transmission abnormalities or storage errors, ensuring that the copied file is completely consistent with the remote source file. The copied file is the local reference file required for the subsequent synchronization process and is stored in the specified directory of local storage.

[0047] S130. Monitor the target configuration file in the remote code repository in real time, and after detecting that the target configuration file has been updated, generate a target data request and send it to the remote code repository.

[0048] The real-time monitoring can specifically be achieved by using techniques such as timed polling or event-driven methods to continuously obtain key status information of the target configuration file, including file modification timestamps, version numbers, data verification values, etc. The specific implementation method and monitoring standards of the real-time monitoring can be set and adjusted by the user according to the actual implementation scenario, and this embodiment does not limit this.

[0049] S140. In response to receiving the target configuration file, configure the target application on the server based on the local reference file and the target configuration file.

[0050] In response to receiving the target configuration file, the target application on the server is configured based on the local reference file and the target configuration file, including: generating a complete configuration file matching the target application based on the target configuration file and the local reference file; and performing automated configuration operations on the target application according to the complete configuration file, wherein the automated configuration operations include at least one of application deployment, version upgrade, and environment parameter settings.

[0051] Furthermore, generating a complete configuration file matching the target application based on the target configuration file and the local reference file includes: comparing the differences between the target configuration file and the local reference file to obtain the target incremental content; merging the target incremental content with the local reference file to generate the complete configuration file corresponding to the target application.

[0052] Specifically, a complete configuration file matching the target application is generated based on the target configuration file and local reference files. An incremental update mechanism is used to achieve efficient configuration integration. The specific process is as follows: First, the configuration difference comparison module is started, and Git diff is used. The core algorithm or dedicated configuration comparison tool performs a deep comparison of each configuration item between the target configuration file and the local reference file. This identifies newly added configuration items (such as newly added third-party service integration parameters), modified configuration values ​​(such as adjusted database connection timeouts), and deleted redundant configuration items (such as obsolete old version interface addresses) in the target configuration file, forming structured target incremental content. This target incremental content records key information such as difference type, configuration path, and comparison of old and new values ​​in key-value pairs. Then, the target incremental content is automatically integrated with the local reference file. New configuration items are directly appended to the corresponding configuration node, modified configuration items are overwritten with the old values ​​in the local reference file by the values ​​in the target configuration file, and deleted redundant configuration items are removed from the local reference file. At the same time, potential configuration conflicts are handled (when configuration items with the same name are modified in both files, the target configuration file is used by default; in special scenarios, conflict resolution strategies can be customized through preset rules). Finally, a complete configuration file covering the entire lifecycle of the target application is generated.

[0053] Furthermore, after generating the complete configuration file, the automated configuration operation will be executed according to a preset process: In the case of application deployment, containerized deployment technology will be used to inject the complete configuration file into the application container, automatically completing deployment operations such as port mapping, dependent component mounting, and service registration; In the case of version upgrade, a canary release strategy will be adopted, first applying the new configuration to some test nodes and verifying service availability, and then gradually covering all production nodes after confirming that there are no anomalies, avoiding service interruption caused by a full upgrade; In the case of environment parameter settings, the environment parameters in the complete configuration file will be pushed to the target application in real time through a dynamic configuration center (such as Nacos or Apollo dynamic configuration platform). The application process will detect parameter changes through a configuration listening mechanism, and the parameters will take effect without restarting.

[0054] Those skilled in the art should understand that configuring an application based on a configuration file is a mature existing technology. This embodiment only introduces its steps and flow, without going into detail about its specific principles and implementation methods.

[0055] Optionally, after performing automated configuration operations on the target application based on the complete configuration file, the method further includes: updating the local reference file to the complete configuration file, generating configuration prompts, and displaying them visually.

[0056] Optionally, in response to receiving the target configuration file, after configuring the target application on the server based on the local reference file and the target configuration file, the method further includes: obtaining the configured state of the target application and the preset expected state, and comparing the configured state with the expected state; if the configured state is inconsistent with the expected state, then correcting the state of the target application based on the complete configuration file; returning to the operation of obtaining the configured state of the target application and the preset expected state, and comparing the configured state with the expected state, until a preset termination condition is met.

[0057] The preset termination condition can be that the configured state is consistent with the expected state, or that the number of executions reaches a preset loop threshold to generate an error message.

[0058] Optionally, in this embodiment, if the number of times the return execution reaches a preset loop threshold or the total time exceeds a timeout threshold and the desired state is still not achieved, the correction is determined to have failed. The system triggers an emergency alarm (such as an SMS or DingTalk alarm) and automatically performs a configuration rollback operation to restore the system to the stable state before the configuration update. At the same time, the failure details are recorded for maintenance personnel to troubleshoot the problem.

[0059] The technical solution of this invention involves the server detecting the existence of a local reference file in its local storage. If the absence of a local reference file is detected, the target configuration file in the remote code repository is fully copied to obtain the local reference file. The target configuration file in the remote code repository is then monitored in real time. Upon detecting an update to the target configuration file, a target data request is generated and sent to the remote code repository. Finally, in response to the receipt of the target configuration file, the target application on the server is configured based on the local reference file and the target configuration file. This achieves automated application configuration, improves application configuration efficiency, ensures the accuracy and timeliness of application configuration, and saves human resources.

[0062] like Figure 2 As shown, the method includes:

[0063] S210, In response to the user's configuration file upload operation, receive the target configuration file of the target application.

[0064] S220. In response to the user's modification operation of the target configuration file, update the target configuration file.

[0065] S230. After receiving the target data request sent by the server, send the updated target configuration file to the server.

[0066] The technical solution of this invention, in response to a user's configuration file upload operation via a remote code repository, receives the target configuration file of the target application and updates the target configuration file in response to the user's modification operation. After receiving a target data request from the server, the updated target configuration file is sent to the server.
