Dedicated Host Cluster Creation Using Delay-Based Conditions
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current dedicated host creation methods allow only basic metrics like type and quantity to be specified by users, failing to incorporate higher-level metrics, which limits the ability to meet user requirements and customize network structure relationships.
Innovation Solution
A method that converts user-specified metrics into conditions for creating dedicated host clusters, considering delays, availability probabilities, and deployment requirements to ensure the created host meets user-defined criteria, including network topology and fault domain specifications.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If only basic metrics like type and quantity are specified by user, then the dedicated host creation process is simple, but the ability to meet user requirements and customize network structure relationships is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extends the creation process by introducing new measurable parameters (higher-level metrics) that users can specify. These parameters transform the dedicated host creation from a basic type/quantity selection to a multi-parameter configuration process, allowing users to define network structure relationships and performance requirements while maintaining a systematic approach through standardized parameter inputs
2Ease of operation
If higher-level metrics are added to dedicated host creation, then user control and customization are improved, but the complexity of metric conversion and condition generation increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an intermediary processing layer that converts user-specified higher-level metrics into executable creation conditions. This intermediary mechanism automatically translates user requirements into the internal condition format needed for host selection and cluster creation, shielding users from the complexity of metric conversion while enabling sophisticated customization
Solution Approach 2:
The system incorporates feedback mechanisms where the actual delay and availability probability are calculated and compared against user-specified thresholds. This feedback loop enables the system to automatically adjust and verify that created dedicated hosts meet the specified metrics, providing users with confidence in the results without requiring them to manually manage the complex conversion processes

AI summary
This disclosure discloses a dedicated host creation method. The method is applied to a cloud management platform, and includes: obtaining a first metric, where the first metric includes a first delay between dedicated hosts in a first dedicated host cluster; obtaining a second delay, where the second delay includes an actual delay between the dedicated hosts; generating a first condition based on the first delay and the second delay, where the first condition indicates a preset value relationship between the first delay and the second delay; and creating a second dedicated host cluster based on the first condition. In this way, a metric specified by a user can be applied to a dedicated host, to improve use experience of the user.
