Physical Machine Service Orchestration via Cloud Host Attribute Inheritance
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The complexity and resource-intensive nature of service orchestration for physical machines in OpenStack systems lead to low system stability and inefficiency, as existing methods require extensive human effort and can affect related cloud host functions.
Innovation Solution
A method that creates a physical machine resource inheriting all attributes of a cloud host, modifies it according to the target physical machine's features, configures the Ironic bottom driver, and invokes Ironic by nova to perform service orchestration, simplifying the process and ensuring system stability.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If manual resource configuration is performed for physical machine service orchestration, then service orchestration functionality is achieved, but process complexity and human resource consumption increase significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a physical machine resource by copying all attributes from an existing cloud host resource. This template-based approach allows the system to inherit stable, pre-validated configurations automatically, eliminating manual configuration complexity while maintaining full service orchestration functionality for the physical machine.
2Adaptability or versatility
If extensive resource attributes are configured for physical machine orchestration, then complete service control is achieved, but system stability decreases due to potential interference with cloud host functions
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the resource configuration into two distinct parts: (1) inheritance of cloud host attributes (which maintain system stability), and (2) modification of physical machine-specific attributes (which enable orchestration capability). This segmentation allows physical machine orchestration without affecting the stability of cloud host functions, as each component operates with its own attribute set.
3Manufacturing precision
If detailed physical machine attributes are manually set, then accurate resource configuration is achieved, but time and energy consumption increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent performs preliminary action by pre-configuring cloud host resources with complete attribute sets before physical machine orchestration is needed. When physical machine service orchestration is required, the system automatically inherits these pre-configured attributes, eliminating the need for time-consuming manual configuration while maintaining configuration accuracy.

AI summary
A service orchestration method, apparatus and device for a physical machine, and a computer-readable storage medium. The method includes: creating a physical machine resource that inherits all attributes of a cloud host, and modifying the physical machine resource according to characteristics of a target physical machine to obtain a target physical machine resource; configuring an underlying driver of Ironic according to the characteristics of a target physical machine; and invoking the Ironic by means of nova, such that the target physical machine resource is used to perform service orchestration on the target physical machine when the Ironic is running. On the basis of implementing service orchestration on a physical machine, the target physical machine resource in the method is obtained by inheriting all attributes of a cloud host and performing modification according to the characteristics of a target physical machine.
