Description

External resource management method, device and system for cloud interworking

technical field

The present invention relates to the communication field, in particular, to a method, device and system for cloud intercommunication external resource management.

Background technique

With the development of cloud computing technology, infrastructure as a service (Infrastructure as a Service, referred to as IaaS) service has gradually matured in terms of business model and technology. In IaaS services, cloud service providers provide users with virtual infrastructure services, such as computing resources, storage resources, and network resources. Through cloud services, users can obtain cloud resources that can be freely scaled, with almost no limit on the amount of resources, and users can pay according to the usage after the resources are used.

The Cloud Infrastructure Management Interface (CIMI) interface specified by the Distributed Management Task Force (DMTF) is an open standard application programming interface API used to manage cloud infrastructure. The goal of CIMI is to help users manage cloud infrastructure in a common and simple way, and to achieve interoperable cloud infrastructure management among cloud service providers, consumers, and developers through standardized interaction methods in cloud environments. CIMI version 1.1 has been accepted by the International Organization for Standardization ISO and has become an international standard.

FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a network architecture of a cloud service provider according to the CIMI model in the related art. Among them, 101 cloud service consumer interacts with 102 cloud service provider A and 103 cloud service provider B respectively through CIMI interface to manage and instruct the cloud service. 102 Cloud service provider A may include a cloud manager responsible for managing and allocating various resources, and interact with 101 cloud service consumers through the CIMI interface to obtain consumer requirements and return corresponding results, in which the cloud manager can manage this service Various resources of the provider, including cloud entry points, resource metadata, system resources, machine resources, storage volume resources, network resources, certificate resources, task resources, monitoring resources, etc. 103 Cloud service provider B may also include a cloud manager responsible for managing and allocating various resources, and interact with 101 cloud service consumers through the CIMI interface to obtain consumer requirements and return corresponding results, in which the cloud manager can manage this Various resources of service providers, including cloud entry points, resource metadata, system resources, machine resources, storage volume resources, network resources, certificate resources, task resources, monitoring resources, etc.

Fig. 2 is a schematic diagram of the cloud entry point of a single cloud in the CIMI model in the related art. As shown in Fig. 2, the cloud entry point represents the entry endpoint of the cloud defined by the CIMI model, and the cloud service consumer can find it through the unique address link and access various resources available in the cloud. 201 The cloud entry point implements a resource directory set, specifically including at least one of the following: 202 General attributes, 203 Basic uniform resource identifier, 204 Resource metadata collection, 205 System resources, 206 Machine resources, 207 Certificate resources, 208 Storage volume resources, 209 network resources, 210 task resource collection, 211 monitoring resources, etc. 202 Common attributes include at least one of the following: identifier, name, description, creation time, update time, feature list, etc.; 205 System class resources include at least one of the following: system resource collection, system template resource collection, etc.; 206 Machine class resources Including at least one of the following: machine resource collection, machine template resource collection, machine configuration resource collection, machine image resource collection, etc.; 207 certificate resources include at least one of the following: certificate resource collection, certificate template resource collection, etc.; 208 storage volume class Resources include at least one of the following: storage volume resource collection, storage volume template resource collection, storage volume configuration resource collection, storage volume image resource collection, etc.; 209 network resources include at least one of the following: network resource collection, network template resource collection, Network segmentation resource collection, network segmentation template resource collection, network endpoint resource collection, network endpoint template resource collection, network interface resource collection, network interface template resource collection, network service resource collection, network service template resource collection, etc.; 211 monitoring class The resource includes at least one of the following: a collection of metering resources, a collection of metering template resources, a collection of metering configuration resources, a collection of event log resources, a collection of event log template resources, and the like. A collection is a group of identical resources.

In related technologies, the CIMI interface only supports the management of the infrastructure of a single cloud, but cannot enable cloud service consumers to access other cloud service providers through a cloud service provider in the case of intercloud, so cross-connection cannot be achieved. Cloud or multi-cloud or hybrid cloud management, lack of flexibility. In addition, other dedicated cloud interworking interfaces, such as VMWare's VCloud Air interface, can only manage hybrid clouds in VMWare homogeneous environments, and cannot manage hybrid clouds in heterogeneous environments; while Cisco's Intercloud Fabric Director API mainly provides some simple query operations , but can not achieve complex resource management.
