detailed description

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings and examples. It should be noted that, in the case of no conflict, the embodiments in the present application and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other.

Brief terminology notes:

OpenStack: an open source cloud computing management platform project; Heat: an openstack service component based on templates to arrange composite cloud applications, using templates to realize automatic deployment of resources; Hot template: a template based on YAML format of the Heat component Types of.

The present invention describes the method and operation steps for arranging Openstack resources by using Hot templates. Using this method, the virtual resource set required by the user can be quickly defined and constructed, and the time consumption required for the arrangement of virtual resource definition, configuration, and combination can be shortened. and manpower input to improve user experience.

The implementation plan is mainly divided into two business phases:

Business stage 1: Create and edit yaml resource layout template files based on openstack Hot format; openstack provides a set of Hot type resource layout template files in yaml format and template compilation language. This template has rich resource types, and each resource type Corresponding to a resource class of a compiled language, the user completes the creation and compilation of resource layout template files by compiling various virtual resource classes and corresponding input and output according to their own business needs in a certain order;

Business stage 2: Compile and execute the edited resource orchestration template file through the Heat business process component of openstack to generate virtual resources defined by the user.

The embodiment of the present invention improves the way that openstack executes the resource layout template file, and designs a simple UI interface to guide users to execute the resource layout template file to complete the layout and management of virtual resources.

The business stage 1 is described in detail in conjunction with FIG. 1. FIG. 1 shows a schematic diagram of creating a resource orchestration template file in Embodiment 1 of the present invention, including the following steps:

1) Create a resource layout template file in the format of yaml, namely the HOT template;

2) Edit the resource layout template file, and the edited resource layout template file includes the following elements: template version, resource list, parameter list, output list;

openstack provides the template type and resource type that users refer to when compiling template elements. The parameter list and output list are optional elements in the template. Input parameters can be passed to the resource list in the form of variables, or in the resource list in the form of constants. definition.

3) After editing each element in the resource layout template file, check the validity of the resource layout template file through the execution unit of the graphical user interface of openstack, that is, the UI interface. If there is an error, perform step 2) to modify until it can pass Legitimacy check.

The business stage 2 is described in detail in conjunction with FIG. 2. FIG. 2 shows the schematic diagram of the heat service component of openstack in Embodiment 2 of the present invention executing the resource layout template file. The main realization principle is: after the heat service component of openstack is edited The resource arrangement template file creates a virtual resource stack to arrange and manage virtual resources. The virtual resource stack includes a series of virtual resource sets arranged by users. The embodiment of the present invention optimizes and improves the UI part of the Heat service component. , which simplifies the business operation process, the specific implementation steps are as follows:

1) Enter the application orchestration component service window, namely the Heat service window, through the guiding unit of the graphical user interface (UI interface);

2) Compile the edited resource layout template file through the Heat service window and transmit business operation parameters to the resource layout template file through the input unit of the UI interface;

Wherein, the heat api function is called heat-api-cfn, and the service operation parameters are transmitted to the resource arrangement template file through the input unit of the UI interface.

3) The execution unit of the UI interface transmits the service data to the heat engine component, ie heat-engine, to create the virtual resource stack.

Preferably, the Heat service window encapsulates the heat API interface.

4) After the resource stack is created, in the output unit, the virtual resource set defined by the user is created, and the virtual resource stack is updated and managed through the UI to realize the centralized management of the programmed virtual resource set.

Through the above two business stages, the specific implementation process of the method for arranging Openstack resources using the Hot template is completed.

Fig. 3 shows the schematic diagram of using the Hot template to arrange the openstack resources according to Embodiment 3 of the present invention. The virtual resources in the resource orchestration template file are orchestrated and managed, wherein the virtual resources include virtual machines, networks, security groups, monitoring, cloud hard disks, routing, firewalls, and alarms.

Wherein, the virtual resource list in the resource orchestration template file is selected according to the resource type, and the resource type includes neutron, keystone, glance, cinder, ceilometer, swift, nova, sahara, senlin.

The embodiment of the present invention proposes a method for arranging openstack resources using a Hot template. This method can quickly define and construct the virtual resource set required by the user, and shorten the time consumption and manpower required for the definition, configuration, and combination of virtual resources. Invest in improving user experience.
