Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of virtualization system deployment technology, and in particular to a virtualization system deployment method, apparatus, device, and medium. Background Technology

[0002] In today's era of smart cities and enterprise digital transformation, various applications and businesses are accelerating their migration to the cloud. Private clouds and virtualization systems are widely used across various industries.

[0003] With the emergence of new features and functionalities in virtualization, as well as known issues and security vulnerabilities, there is a need to release patches promptly to update and deploy new systems with fixes. Ensuring timely and effective delivery of patch information and updates to newly added environments is crucial. The current primary approach is to provide a patch file corresponding to the version of the already released virtualization product system.

[0004] In typical business scenarios, multiple virtualization systems may need to be deployed for a single business function. If a new virtualization system needs to be deployed for that business, the usual procedure is to first install and deploy the initial released version of the system, and then apply patches to the system environment—a two-step process. Virtualization systems are on-premises systems used by enterprises, deployed in data centers and not connected to the internet. Updates require manual notification. Human error can lead to inadequate notification, or notification that technical personnel haven't updated the system, resulting in vulnerabilities in the installed virtualization system and impacting business operations.

[0021] To more clearly illustrate the embodiments of the present invention, the accompanying drawings used in the embodiments will be briefly introduced below. Obviously, the drawings described below are only some embodiments of the present invention. For those skilled in the art, other drawings can be obtained based on these drawings without creative effort.

[0024] Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of an electronic device provided in an embodiment of the present invention. Detailed Implementation

[0025] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0026] The terms "comprising" and "having," and any variations thereof, in the specification and accompanying drawings of this invention are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion. For example, a process, method, system, product, or apparatus that includes a series of steps or units is not limited to the steps or units listed, but may include steps or units not listed.

[0027] In typical business scenarios, multiple virtualization systems may need to be deployed for a single business function. If a virtualization system within that business function needs to be upgraded, it can be updated using a released patch.

[0028] When a business needs to deploy a new virtualization system, the conventional approach is to first install and deploy the already released initial version of the system, and then apply patches to the system environment, completing the process in two steps. This approach lacks effective constraints, and often the second step of applying patches is not completed; instead, the patch files are released separately, often going unnoticed and failing to be applied to the virtualization system in a timely manner. This is particularly problematic for critical patches. Often, after problems are discovered, post-incident investigations reveal that the failure to apply these patches in a timely manner resulted in disruptions to production operations, wasted human and material resources, and other negative impacts. Furthermore, the patching process requires business shutdowns and migrations before patching can proceed, leading to low efficiency.

[0029] Because virtualization systems are on-premises systems used by enterprises, deployed in data centers and not connected to the internet, updates require manual notification. Human error can lead to inadequate notification, or notification that technical personnel fail to update the system, resulting in vulnerabilities in the installed virtualization system and impacting business operations.

[0030] Therefore, in order to address the issue of ensuring that the version of the newly added virtualization system is the latest when business needs require the addition of a virtualization system, this invention provides a virtualization system processing method that can solve the above problem.

[0031] Suppose we have a specific service, including System 1, System 2, and System 3. We need to update this service by adding System 4. The conventional approach would be to first deploy the initial version and then apply all the necessary updates sequentially. This invention, however, only requires installing the ISO image, ensuring that the final installed version is the required version, which can be the latest version.

[0032] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0033] The following section details a virtualization system deployment method, apparatus, device, and medium provided by embodiments of the present invention. Figure 1 A virtualization system deployment method provided in this embodiment of the invention includes:

[0034] S101. Obtain the deployment request for a new system from the target virtualization system;

[0035] A New System Deployment Request (DSD) is a user-issued instruction to configure and run a target virtualization system. For example, an administrator might want to deploy a new business management system on an existing virtualization platform, thus issuing a DSD, New System Deployment Request.

[0036] S102. Obtain the image package of the target virtualization system according to the new system deployment request;

[0037] The target virtualization system image package includes: a base virtualization system package in the base directory, a patch package in the patch directory, a version number file, and an installation source configuration file; the patch package includes a component package consisting of patch fixes for at least one component; the base virtualization system package includes a first data package with the same name as the component package but a different version, a second data package with the same name as the version number file, and a base virtualization system data package; the version number file records the version number of the component package in the patch package.

[0038] S103. Deploy the target virtualization system based on the target virtualization system image package, so that a higher version of the data package is used for installation.

[0039] In this embodiment of the invention, with the release of different patch packages, each patch package is accompanied by a corresponding ISO image package. When different ISO image packages (same major version, but different patch version numbers) are used to install and deploy hosts, these hosts can be temporarily used because they are allowed to join the virtualization management system without checks or restrictions. They can then be uniformly upgraded to the same version.

[0040] A virtualization system comprises multiple components (such as the UI components for a messaging team), each corresponding to an installation package. A patch package includes updated RPM installation packages for at least one component. Releasing patch packages serves two purposes: patching older virtualization management systems and building an ISO image when deploying a new virtualization management system, allowing the newly added system to directly upgrade to the corresponding version without needing to first install the initial version and then apply patches sequentially. In one feasible approach, the new system (the target virtualization system) is deployed using an ISO image package containing patches. The installation of the virtualization system and patch files is automated according to a preset mechanism, automatically updating the system version number during installation and using a higher version data package. This achieves the effect of automatically patching the system upon deployment, all seamlessly integrated into the user experience, reducing the complexity of version and patch management.

[0041] In one feasible approach, if the virtualization system already exists in the business, only upgrades and updates based on the patch package are needed. In this embodiment of the invention, the various components and patches of the virtualization system are released and managed in the form of component packages, and all subsequent features are based on this. The base virtualization system package and the patch package are located in the base directory and the upgrade directory, respectively.

[0042] The virtualization system automatically applies patches, deploying the system using an ISO containing patches. The system automatically installs the virtualization system and patch files according to a preset mechanism, automatically updating the system version number during the installation process. Ultimately, this achieves the effect of automatically patching the system upon deployment.

[0043] Understandably, the usual approach is to deploy and use the system first, then patch any issues discovered. In this invention, the patching process is moved from virtualization installation and deployment to the product creation and release stage. This separates the patch package from the base ISO and utilizes a unified package installation mechanism to automate patch application. The patch directory and the Base directory each contain a data package with the same name but different version numbers; the version in the patch directory is larger than the one in the Base directory, and the larger version is installed first. This means that patches are automatically applied during the virtualization deployment and installation process. Compared to traditional patching methods, this invention provides a seamless experience for the user, reduces complex version and patch management, and minimizes the possibility of missed patches.

[0044] As can be seen, in this embodiment of the invention, a new system deployment request for the target virtualization system is obtained; based on the new system deployment request, an image package of the target virtualization system is obtained, the image package of the target virtualization system includes: a base virtualization system package under the base directory, a patch package under the patch directory, a version number file, and an installation source configuration file; the patch package includes a component package consisting of patch repair content for at least one component, the base virtualization system package includes a first data package with the same name as the component package but a different version, a second data package with the same name as the version number file, and the base virtualization system data package; the version number file records the version number of the component package in the patch package; based on the image package of the target virtualization system, the target virtualization system is deployed, so that a higher version data package is used for installation. The target virtualization system image package includes a base virtualization system package and a patch package, managed in two directories. It employs clear partitioning for precise control. Furthermore, this image package carries patches and includes the base virtualization system package, patch package, version number file, and installation source configuration file. Deploying the target virtualization system using this patch-carrying image package automatically installs the target virtualization system and patch files according to a preset mechanism, automatically updating the system version number information during installation. This is equivalent to automatically applying patches during the target virtualization system deployment and installation process, which is more efficient than traditional patching methods and avoids missed patches.

[0045] One possible implementation of this invention involves deploying a target virtualization system based on an image package of that system, including: reading an installation source configuration file to determine a list of data packages to be installed and a search directory, wherein the search directory includes a base directory and a patch directory; and determining the data packages to be installed from the search directory based on the list of data packages to be installed, wherein for data packages with the same name, the data package with the higher version number is installed to facilitate the deployment of the target virtualization system.

[0046] The installation source configuration file controls the automated installation of packages. It specifies the list of packages to be installed and removes unwanted packages. The configuration file also specifies the package search directories: a base directory and a patch directory. During installation, packages with higher version numbers are selected for installation. Furthermore, it specifies which packages with higher version numbers should be installed to achieve the installation of the target virtualization system.

[0047] As can be seen, in this embodiment of the invention, the installation of the image package is realized based on the installation source configuration file, so that the virtualization deployment and installation process automatically applies patches.

[0048] One possible implementation of this invention further includes: copying the baseline virtualization system package to the baseline directory; copying the patch package to the patch directory; obtaining the version number file and the installation source configuration file; generating an image package of the target virtualization system based on the baseline virtualization system package in the baseline directory, the patch package and the version number file in the patch directory, and the installation source configuration file, and publishing the image package of the target virtualization system.

[0049] In this embodiment of the invention, a method for publishing an image package is provided, in which a first software is used to build and publish the image package. It is understood that a second software publishes a baseline virtualization system package and a patch package, thereby enabling the first software to obtain and process the baseline virtualization system package and the patch package.

[0050] Furthermore, after copying the patch package to the patch directory, the process also includes: verifying the integrity of the patch package; correspondingly, based on the baseline virtualization system package in the baseline directory, the patch package and version number file in the patch directory, and the installation source configuration file, generating the image of the target virtualization system, including: after the integrity verification of the patch package passes, generating the image of the target virtualization system based on the baseline virtualization system package in the baseline directory, the patch package and version number file in the patch directory, and the installation source configuration file.

[0051] In this embodiment of the invention, the virtualization system package management is divided into two directories. One directory contains the Base installation package, which is named the Base package directory. The Base package directory contains a collection of packages for the virtualization system that need to be patched. These package collections constitute the complete virtualization system. The other directory is the upgrade directory. The packages in the upgrade directory are the corresponding package collections of the modules to which the patch files belong, that is, the collection of patch packages. The content and number of package collections are different depending on the content that the patch repairs.

[0052] Obtain the compressed packages of the base virtualization system package and the patch package (upgrade compressed package). Then, copy the base virtualization system package to the base directory. Copy and extract the upgrade compressed package to the upgrade directory, ensuring the integrity of the packages in the upgrade directory matches the number and names of the component packages in the module containing the patch files. Verify the integrity of each package to prevent corruption during the copying process. Next, generate an ISO image package. This ISO contains the Base ISO package, patch packages, source configuration files, and files recording patch versions. Rename the files to include patch version number abbreviations. Release the ISO. To distinguish it from the Base ISO, this is called the ISO with patches. The ISO name includes patch version number abbreviations, such as h006-bx, where x represents the last tested and passed version.

[0053] As can be seen, in this embodiment of the invention, the baseline virtualization system package is copied to the baseline directory; the patch package is copied to the patch directory; based on the baseline virtualization system package in the baseline directory, the patch package and version number file in the patch directory, and the installation source configuration file, the image package of the target virtualization system is generated and the image package of the target virtualization system is published; the patch package and the basic ISO are managed separately in form, and the application of patches is automated by means of a unified package installation mechanism.

[0054] One possible implementation of this invention further includes: generating a component package for at least one component based on the patch repair content of at least one component; generating a patch package based on the component package of at least one component; compressing the patch package to obtain a patch package compressed file; recording the version number of the component package of at least one component and generating a version number file; generating an installation source configuration file; compressing a baseline virtualization system package to obtain a baseline virtualization system package compressed file; and publishing the patch package compressed file, the version number file, the baseline virtualization system package compressed file, and the installation source configuration file.

[0055] This invention provides a method for compressing and distributing packages using a second software package. Various business components of the virtualization system are managed and released in package form. Each component and patch of the virtualization system is managed and released in component packages, upon which all subsequent features are based. Based on the patch fix content, an RMP component package for the component containing the patch file is automatically generated. The version of the generated package is higher than the version of the package with the same name in the base virtualization system (i.e., the version of the package in the Base directory). These component packages are automatically packaged into a compressed file to obtain the patch package. The patch fix content is based on the functional module where the defect actually occurred. Each functional module has its own code file, and each fix automatically generates an RMP package for that module.

[0056] Each patch package corresponds to a version number, which is recorded in a dedicated file called `sys_hotfixversion`. This patch number file is also managed and distributed as a package. It's important to note that a patch version package with the same name also exists in the Base package, but since Base contains no patches, its content is empty. Understandably, because the file recording version numbers is also managed as an RPM package, if Base doesn't contain this RPM package (same name but different content), it will be recognized as an extra RPM package. This extra RPM package (which Base assumes doesn't exist) will be considered a new feature, thus contradicting the previously stated claim that only the upgrade differs. Therefore, an empty package with the same name is used. Furthermore, in this embodiment of the invention, each component is managed as an RPM package, and the file recording patch version numbers is also managed by RPM packages.

[0057] Furthermore, in one possible implementation of this invention, obtaining the image package of the target virtualization system according to the deployment request includes: determining whether the required version number in the deployment request is greater than the highest virtualization system version number; if not, obtaining the image package of the target virtualization system according to the deployment request.

[0058] In this embodiment of the invention, when deploying a new virtualization system, it can be deployed using a version number lower than or equal to the highest virtualization system version number. If it is equal to the highest virtualization system version number, no patching is required. If it is lower than the highest virtualization system version number, after installing the target virtualization system, it can be upgraded to the system corresponding to the highest virtualization system version number by applying patches.

[0059] One possible implementation of this invention, after deploying the target virtualization system based on its image package, further includes: obtaining the highest version patch package corresponding to the highest virtualization system version number; and upgrading the target virtualization system based on the highest version patch package. For versions lower than the highest virtualization system version number, a patch package can be downloaded for upgrading.

[0060] Based on any of the above embodiments, the present invention provides a method for automatically applying virtualization patches, the specific implementation steps of which are as follows:

[0061] (1) Version release management of various business components and common basic components of the virtualization system is carried out in the form of packages. Patch updates are also required to be released in the form of packages. The content of the patch package may involve updates of various components and systems in the system, such as computing, storage, network, security, drivers, firmware, etc., and the number is not fixed.

[0062] (2) The virtualization system package management is divided into two directories. One directory contains the Base installation package, which is named the Base package directory. The Base package directory contains the package set of the virtualization system that needs to be patched. These package sets constitute the complete virtualization system. The other is the upgrade directory. The packages in the upgrade directory are the corresponding package set of the module to which the patch file belongs, that is, the set of patch packages. The content and number of package sets are different depending on the content repaired by the patch.

[0063] (3) Automated generation of patch package sets. The package set in the upgrade directory is automatically generated. The packages in the upgrade directory are actually component packages corresponding to the modules where the patch files are located. Because the content repaired by each patch is different, the component packages and their quantities are variable. It is necessary to support the automatic generation of component packages for the modules where the patches are located based on the patch repair content, and to automatically package these component RPM packages into an upgrade compressed file.

[0064] (4) Management of virtualization patch version numbers: The system version number is recorded in a dedicated patch version number file named sys_hotfixversion. This file records the system patch version number information. It is managed through a dedicated rpm package named upgversion. When creating the Base ISO, the contents of the sys_hotfixversion file in the upgversion rpm package are cleared because the Base ISO is the first release version and does not have a patch version number.

[0065] (5) Management of virtualization system automatic installation source configuration files. Installation source configuration files control the automated installation of packages. The list of packages to be installed is specified in the installation source configuration file, and packages that are not needed are removed from the installation source configuration file. The package search directories, namely the Base directory and the upgrade directory, are specified in the installation source configuration file. During installation, packages with higher version numbers will be selected for installation.

[0066] (6) Automatically decompress the upgrade compressed file, copy the module package files in it to the upgrade directory, and ensure that the integrity of the packages in the upgrade directory is verified and that the number and names of the component packages in the module are consistent with those in the patch file.

[0067] (7) Generate ISO, that is, generate and release the above-mentioned engineering process into ISO. In order to distinguish it from the Base ISO, it is called ISO with patch. It contains the Base ISO package, patch package, source configuration file, file recording patch version, etc. The ISO name adds patch version number abbreviation information, such as h006-bx, where x represents the last tested version.

[0068] (8) Hosts with low patch versions are allowed to join the virtualization system. With the release of different patches, each patch release will have a corresponding ISO. When hosts are installed and deployed using different ISOs (same major version but different patch version numbers), these hosts are allowed to join the virtualization management system without checks or restrictions, and can be used temporarily. They can be upgraded to the same version in the future.

[0069] (9) The virtualization system automatically applies patches. The system is deployed using an ISO containing patches, and the system automatically installs the virtualization system and patch files according to a preset mechanism. During installation, the system version number is automatically updated. Ultimately, deployment automatically patches the system, and the entire process is seamless for the user, reducing the complexity of version and patch management.

[0070] In this system, version release management of various business components of the virtualization system in the form of packages is a fundamental technical requirement for subsequent automatic patch application. Virtualization system packages are managed in two directories, clearly distinguishing and managing the base virtualization system and patches for precise control. The automatic generation of rule-based patch packages is crucial because each patch fixes different content. It must support automatically identifying and generating component packages for the modules containing the patches based on these changes, and automatically packaging these component RPM packages into an upgrade compressed file. Version information is recorded in a dedicated patch version file, `sys_hotfixversion`, which is managed as a separate independent package within the Base package collection. The `sys_hotfixversion` content in the Base ISO is empty, while the ISO containing the patch packages records the actual patch version information. The management of the virtualization system's automatic installation source configuration files ensures that high-performance dedicated features of virtual machines only take effect when modified online at boot time or while the machine is already running. The upgrade compressed file is automatically decompressed, reusing the independent upgrade package. The module packages within are decompressed, merged, and copied to the upgrade directory, ensuring the integrity of the packages in the upgrade directory matches the number and names of the component packages in the module containing the patch files. A virtualization system ISO is generated, which is a patched ISO containing a base ISO package, patch packages, source configuration files, and files recording patch versions. Different versions of hosts are added to the virtualization system's access control. When using ISOs with different built-in patch versions (same major version but different patch version numbers) to install and deploy hosts, these patched versions are allowed to join the virtualization management system without checks or restrictions, allowing for temporary use. Subsequent upgrades can be made to the same version. The system is deployed using the patched ISO, and the system automatically installs the virtualization system and patch files according to a preset mechanism, automatically updating the system version number information during installation; achieving the final effect of automatically applying patches to the virtualization system upon deployment.

[0071] In summary, in this embodiment of the invention, by advancing the patch application process from virtualization installation and deployment to the product creation and release stage, the patch package and the base ISO are managed separately in form. Furthermore, a unified package installation mechanism enables automated patch application. The patch directory and the Base directory each contain a package with the same name but different version numbers; that is, the version in the patch directory is larger than the one in the Base directory, and the larger version is installed first. This is equivalent to automatically applying patches during the virtualization deployment and installation process. Compared to traditional patching methods, the entire process of this invention is seamless for the user and reduces complex version and patch management, as well as the possibility of missed patches.

[0072] Furthermore, blockchain is introduced into the virtualization system to create independent data blocks for each user, and smart contracts are used to implement data access control and isolation. During the upgrade process, the blockchain network monitors tenant data access in real time, and the permissions of data blocks are dynamically adjusted. Specifically, when the relevant components of the user involved in the upgrade are identified, the user's data access permissions are restricted to avoid upgrade conflicts. After the upgrade is completed, incremental migration is used to migrate data to the blockchain in batches, reducing the impact on system performance during the migration process. At the same time, data verification algorithms are used to ensure the accuracy and integrity of the migrated data.

[0073] Furthermore, prior to upgrading the virtualization system, global security threat intelligence is collected, including information on known security vulnerabilities, attack methods, and malware. This intelligence is used to conduct dynamic security assessments of the upgraded version, identifying potential security risks. During the upgrade process, the system's security status is monitored in real time, and any vulnerabilities discovered are immediately addressed through measures such as automatic patching and isolating infected nodes.

[0074] Furthermore, a resource awareness module is deployed to monitor the resource usage of each virtual machine in real time, including CPU, memory, and network bandwidth. During the upgrade process, resource allocation for virtual machines is dynamically adjusted based on the resource awareness results, prioritizing the resource needs of critical production applications.
