Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The manual configuration of virtual network interface cards for container groups in Kubernetes clusters results in low efficiency and high time costs, affecting the loading efficiency of these resources.
Innovation Solution
Integrate multiple virtual network interface cards into groups within a node, assign a target group to the container group, and analyze the target group for address information to configure the resource efficiently.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If virtual network interface cards are manually screened and assigned one by one to container groups, then configuration accuracy can be ensured, but configuration efficiency is low and time cost is high
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments virtual network interface cards into groups based on their address information characteristics. Instead of handling individual NICs separately, the system divides them into manageable groups that can be assigned as units, reducing the complexity and time of configuration while maintaining precision through structured organization.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent performs preliminary integration and grouping of virtual network interface cards before they are assigned to container groups. By pre-organizing the NICs into groups with defined address information, the system eliminates the need for manual screening during the assignment phase, significantly reducing configuration time and improving efficiency.
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple virtual network interface cards are loaded by container groups, then network functionality is enhanced, but configuration time increases significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple virtual network interface cards into unified groups that can be assigned to container groups as single units. This combining approach maintains the enhanced network functionality provided by multiple NICs while dramatically reducing configuration time, as the entire group is assigned through a single operation rather than individual card-by-card configuration.
3Measurement precision
If manual comparison and screening is used to assign virtual network interface cards, then assignment accuracy is maintained, but configuration efficiency decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an address information-based grouping mechanism as an intermediary between the virtual network interface cards and container groups. This intermediary structure automatically organizes NICs into groups based on their address characteristics, providing both accuracy in assignment and efficiency in configuration, eliminating the need for manual comparison and screening.
