In some scenarios, Users may need to retain or migrate data and configurations in existing bare metal servers. In related technologies, cloud computing vendors and technicians have no right to intervene in user business in the scenario where users purchase bare metal servers. Therefore, cloud computing The manufacturer only supports the installation service of the pure system. The cloud computing manufacturer can provide the pure system image for the user to install the system when creating a new instance. For other programs such as services and configuration files deployed by the user, the user needs to adopt other methods. Data is migrated or installed. In this scenario, the services provided by cloud computing vendors do not meet the user’s requirement for high availability of data storage, and the user’s operating costs (including costs, time, labor, etc.) are too large; In the scenario where the bare metal server fails and data migration needs to be performed on the backup server, the user usually activates the backup server, and needs to use a machine that can carry the same service, and then migrate the data; after the backup server is enabled, an end-to-end link is required. , copy the data to the standby server; in this scenario, if there is only one bare metal server deployed by the user business, the data cannot be migrated and restored. In addition, the end-to-end link requires the user to pay additional traffic fees, which is expensive.

It can be seen from the above that, in the related technologies, the products of cloud computing manufacturers are insufficient and cannot meet the needs of actual users. , if the actual application scenarios of users cannot be followed up, it will also have a negative impact on the business of cloud computing manufacturers.

In order to facilitate the understanding of this embodiment, a method for processing an image file disclosed in the embodiment of the present invention is first introduced in detail; the method is applied to a bare metal server on the user side, and the bare metal server is pre-run in a public cloud private network environment, the A public cloud private network can be called a VPC (Virtual Private Cloud), which can be understood as a user-customizable network. Users can deploy cloud service resources such as cloud hosts, load balancing, and data in the public cloud private network; as shown in Figure 1 , the method includes the following steps:

Step S102: Receive an image creation request for pre-stored system disk data and data disk data, and leave the public cloud private network environment; wherein the image creation request carries image configuration parameters input by the user.

The data of the data disk can be understood as the data stored in the data disk; in actual implementation, the user can input the relevant image configuration parameters through the console, such as the image name filled in by the user, the region where the basic image obtained by the backend is located, Image ID (Identity document, identity identification), image type and other parameter information, and then send an image creation request for the entire BMS, that is, an image creation request for the system disk data and data disk data pre-stored in the BMS , when the bare metal server receives the image creation request, it usually automatically leaves the public cloud private network environment, that is, automatically enters the offline VPC state to create an image in the offline VPC state.

Step S104, based on the image creation request, obtain a first image script corresponding to the system disk data and a second image script corresponding to the data disk data.

The above-mentioned first mirroring script can be understood as an executable file that can perform actual mirroring operations on system disk data; the above-mentioned second mirroring script can be understood as an executable file that can perform actual mirroring operations on data disk data; in actual implementation, when After receiving the above image creation request and leaving the public cloud private network environment, it is usually necessary to obtain the image scripts corresponding to the system disk data and the data disk data respectively, so as to perform the mirroring operation on the system disk data and the data disk data.

Step S106 , generating a system image file corresponding to the system disk data and a data image file corresponding to the data disk data based on the first image script, the second image script and the image configuration parameters in the absence of the public cloud private network environment.

The above-mentioned system image file can be understood as a backup of the system disk data, and can be used for the retention and recovery of the system disk data; the above-mentioned data image file can be understood as a backup of the data disk data, and can be used for the retention and recovery of the data disk data; In actual implementation, the system disk data and data disk data in the bare metal server can be mirrored based on the obtained first mirror script, second mirror script and mirror configuration parameters, and a system mirror file corresponding to the system disk data can be obtained , and the data mirror file corresponding to the data on the data disk.

This method can obtain mirror scripts corresponding to the system disk data and data disk data based on the mirror creation request carrying the mirror configuration parameters, and create the system disk data and data disk data in the bare metal server based on the mirror script and the mirror configuration parameters. Mirroring does not require users to migrate or install data in the data disk in other ways, thereby improving the availability of data storage and reducing user operation costs.

The embodiment of the present invention also provides another image file processing method, which is implemented on the basis of the method in the above-mentioned embodiment; the method focuses on the description of obtaining the first image script corresponding to the system disk data based on the image creation request, and the data disk The specific process of the second mirror script corresponding to the data specifically corresponds to the following step S204; in this method, the bare metal server is connected to the pre-boot execution environment server; the pre-boot execution environment database corresponding to the pre-boot execution environment server pre-stores multiple Mirror scripts corresponding to various system disk data, and mirror scripts corresponding to various data disk data; the pre-boot execution environment server can also be called a PXE (Preboot Execute Environment) server, and the client can use the PXE server to realize automatic installation when booting. System, the server can monitor and respond to the installation request of the client system, and provide services such as DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, dynamic host configuration protocol), TFTP (Trivial File Transfer Protocol, simple file transfer protocol); among them, DHCP is A network protocol of a local area network; TFTP is a protocol used for simple file transfer between a client and a server; the above-mentioned pre-boot execution environment database can also be called a PXE database, which is usually pre-stored in the pre-boot execution environment database There are a variety of mirroring scripts corresponding to different system disk data, and a variety of mirroring scripts corresponding to different data disk data; as shown in Figure 2, the method includes the following steps:

Step S202: Receive an image creation request for pre-stored system disk data and data disk data, and leave the public cloud private network environment; wherein the image creation request carries image configuration parameters input by the user.

Step S204: Send the image creation request to the pre-boot execution environment server, and obtain the first mirror script corresponding to the system disk data and the second mirror corresponding to the data disk data from the pre-boot execution environment database through the pre-boot execution environment server script.

In actual implementation, after the user's bare metal server receives the image creation request sent by the user, it can send the image creation request to the pre-boot execution environment server to request the pre-boot execution environment server for the mirror script required for creating the image. , after the pre-boot execution environment server receives the mirroring request, it obtains the first mirror script corresponding to the system disk data from the connected pre-boot execution environment database through the script transmission API (Application Programming Interface). and the second mirroring script corresponding to the data of the data disk.

Step S206 , generating a system image file corresponding to the system disk data and a data image file corresponding to the data disk data based on the first image script, the second image script and the image configuration parameters in the absence of the public cloud private network environment.

In the above method for processing image files, firstly, a request for image creation for pre-stored system disk data and data disk data is received, leaving the public cloud private network environment; then, the image creation request is sent to a pre-boot execution environment server, and the pre-boot execution environment server , from the pre-boot execution environment database, to obtain the first mirroring script corresponding to the system disk data and the second mirroring script corresponding to the data disk data. Finally, based on the first mirror script, the second mirror script and the mirror configuration parameters, a system mirror file corresponding to the system disk data and a data mirror file corresponding to the data disk data are generated in a private network environment separated from the public cloud. This method can obtain mirror scripts corresponding to the system disk data and data disk data based on the mirror creation request carrying the mirror configuration parameters, and create the system disk data and data disk data in the bare metal server based on the mirror script and the mirror configuration parameters. Mirroring does not require users to migrate or install data in the data disk in other ways, thereby improving the availability of data storage and reducing user operation costs.

The embodiment of the present invention also provides another image file processing method, which is implemented on the basis of the method in the above-mentioned embodiment; in this method, the bare metal server is connected to the pre-boot execution environment server; the pre-boot execution environment server is connected to the object storage The server is connected; the object storage server is connected to the bare metal back-end server; the bare-metal back-end server is usually a bare-metal back-end server of a cloud computing manufacturer, as shown in FIG. 3 , the method includes the following steps:

Step S302: Receive an image creation request for pre-stored system disk data and data disk data, and leave the public cloud private network environment; wherein the image creation request carries image configuration parameters input by the user.

In actual implementation, the user can initiate the above-mentioned image creation request through the operated front-end console. Referring to the schematic diagram of a front-end console operation interface shown in Figure 4, when the user needs to create an image, he can first select the instance that needs to be imaged , after filling in the relevant image configuration parameters, you can trigger the button to create an image and initiate an image creation request, that is, the user can trigger the image creation process with one key on the front-end console, and the operation process is simple; the front-end console operated by the user is usually the same as The bare metal back-end server of the cloud computing manufacturer is connected, and the bare metal back-end server is connected to the user's bare metal server, and the image creation request initiated by the user can be received through the bare metal back-end server.

Step S304, based on the image creation request, obtain a first image script corresponding to the system disk data and a second image script corresponding to the data disk data.

Step S306, in the absence of the public cloud private network environment, based on the first mirror script, the second mirror script and the mirror configuration parameters, generate a system mirror file corresponding to the system disk data and a data mirror file corresponding to the data disk data.

Step S308, by pre-booting the execution environment server, save the system image file and the data image file to the pre-boot execution environment database corresponding to the pre-boot execution environment server.

In actual implementation, after the user's bare metal server completes the system image file corresponding to the system disk data and the data image file corresponding to the data disk data, the completed system image can be created through the connected pre-boot execution environment server. The files and data image files are saved to the preboot execution environment database.

Step S310, by sequentially pre-starting the execution environment server and the object storage server, save the system image file and the data image file to the object storage database corresponding to the object storage server.

When the user's bare metal server completes the system image file corresponding to the system disk data and the data image file corresponding to the data disk data, the completed system is usually connected to the pre-boot execution environment server and the object storage server in sequence. The image file and the data image file are saved in the object storage database corresponding to the object storage server. The way of storing files in the object storage database and the pre-boot execution environment database may be different. For example, the data in the object storage database can store files in the form of containers, which has better scalability and higher object storage efficiency. Cloud computing Vendor staff can extend it by adding nodes.

Step S312: Receive the message that the system image file and the data image file are successfully saved through the object storage server and the bare metal backend server in sequence, and join the public cloud private network environment to re-run in the public cloud private network environment.

After the system image file and data image file are saved to the object storage database corresponding to the object storage server, the object storage server can feed back a successful message to the bare metal back-end server, and the bare metal back-end server sends the feedback message to the user's bare metal back-end server. Metal server. After receiving the feedback message, the user's bare metal server usually needs to rejoin the public cloud private network environment. For example, the bare metal server automatically rejoins the public cloud private network environment after restarting. After joining the public cloud private network environment, The user's bare metal server can be accessed and used normally.

Step S314, through the bare metal back-end server, return the first processing result to the user corresponding to the image creation request; wherein the first processing result includes: the file identifier corresponding to the system image file, the file identifier corresponding to the data image file, and the system image file. The message of the success or failure of the production, and the message of the success or failure of the data mirror file production.

In actual implementation, after the user's bare metal server re-runs in the public cloud private network environment, the first processing result can be returned to the bare metal back-end server, and the first processing result can be fed back to the bare metal back-end server through the bare metal back-end server. The user who initiates the above image creation request, specifically, can return the file identifier and status value corresponding to the created system image file, and the file identifier and status value corresponding to the data image file to the front-end console operated by the user. The user returns the ID corresponding to the system image file, the ID corresponding to the data image file, the success or failure of the system image file creation, the success or failure of the data image file creation, etc. The user can view the above-mentioned first processing result through the operated front-end console .

In step S316, the file identifier corresponding to the system image file and the file identifier corresponding to the data image file are sent to the image management platform corresponding to the bare metal server through the bare metal back-end server.

The above image management platform can be understood as an internal operation management platform of cloud computing vendors, through which all images visible to users can be managed. Through the bare metal backend server, the file identifier corresponding to the system image file and the file identifier corresponding to the data image file are sent to the image management platform corresponding to the bare metal server. For example, the ID corresponding to the system image file and the corresponding ID of the data image file can be sent. The ID is sent to the image management platform. All images visible to the user can be copied, deleted, etc., which is more flexible and can better meet the user's needs for object storage.

The above-mentioned image file processing method can save the completed system image file and data image file to the pre-boot execution environment database and the object storage database; it is also possible to return the first processing to the user corresponding to the image creation request through the bare metal back-end server As a result, the file identifier corresponding to the system image file and the file identifier corresponding to the data image file are sent to the image management platform corresponding to the bare metal server. In this method, users can create images independently, which improves the availability of object storage, and the operation process is simple, which improves the efficiency of image creation in different usage scenarios; cloud computing vendors can store the data created by user images through the database, which is practical and security is guaranteed.

In order to further understand the above embodiments, the following provides a flowchart of making a bare metal server image as shown in FIG. 5 . First, the manufacturing process is outlined as follows: Before making an image, the user needs to restart the user's bare metal server, After the network is started, enter the diskless environment through PXE, execute the image creation script in the diskless environment, create the image file in the diskless environment, and upload the created image file to the object storage server in the diskless environment. The corresponding object storage database, then restart the machine in a diskless environment, re-enter the network, and complete the mirroring process. During the entire image creation process, it needs to be created in a diskless environment, using busybox (a software that integrates many of the most commonly used Linux commands and tools) to create a diskless boot image, and in this environment, image creation and image recovery are performed. This is a file, which is stored on the PXE server; in addition, in the process of image creation, the self-made script of the cloud computing manufacturer needs to be used to automatically complete the image creation and image recovery. The self-made script is usually stored in the corresponding PXE server. In the PXE database, it is automatically downloaded and executed for user operation.

The specific description of the production process is as follows: the user triggers the mirror production process with one key on the front-end console, and issues a mirror production command (corresponding to the above mirror image) for all the data in the user's bare metal server (corresponding to the above system disk data and data disk data). Make requests), the front-end console is usually pre-installed with webconsole (a web-based application that allows executing shell commands on the server directly from the browser) or SDK (Software DevelopmentKit, software development kit), the front-end console executes mirroring Create a command, send the image creation command to the cloud computing vendor's bare metal back-end server, and the bare metal back-end server forwards the image creation command to the user's bare metal server, so that the user's bare metal server can start performing image creation , usually after the user's bare metal server receives the image creation command, it will automatically enter the offline VPC state (disconnected from the public cloud private network environment), and request the PXE server (corresponding to the above-mentioned pre-boot execution environment server) for the image needed to create the image. Script, the PXE server obtains the required mirror script from the PXE database (corresponding to the above-mentioned pre-boot execution environment database) through the script transmission API, and sends it to the user's bare metal server. The user's bare metal server is based on the obtained mirror script and mirror image. The image configuration parameters carried in the production request start the image creation. After the image creation is completed, the created image is saved to the PXE database through the PXE server; at the same time, the created image is saved to the object storage server through the PXE server and the object storage server. After the corresponding object storage database is saved, the object storage server will feed back the information to the bare metal back-end server, and forward it to the user's bare metal server through the bare metal back-end server. Join the VPC (join the public cloud private network environment), and finally return the return parameter (corresponding to the above first processing result) to the front-end console through the bare metal back-end server, and the user can view the return parameter through the front-end console.

The region in Figure 5 represents a region, which can be used to describe the location of a cloud computing vendor's data center, and different regions are completely independent. Availability Zone refers to the physical data center where the power and network of cloud computing vendors are independent of each other in the same region. In addition, the bare metal server is different from the cloud host container image. The installation image of the bare metal server still uses the traditional PXE installation mode. Later, it can be supported by distributed storage technology, which can optimize high-concurrency installation.

It should be noted that, usually, the user needs to backup and migrate all the data in the bare metal server, and then create an image file when the new bare metal server is installed. For example, all the data in the bare metal server A can be integrated Copy it to the bare metal server B, or you can copy all the data to the object storage database corresponding to the object storage server. When necessary, you can copy it from the object storage database corresponding to the object storage server. Usually, it is only saved once. If the user has newly added data and needs to be mirrored again, the entire data in the bare metal server needs to be mirrored again and saved to the object storage database corresponding to the object storage server. If the user does not delete the mirroring through the front-end console file operation, the image file generated by making the image again will not replace the original image file, that is, the image file created each time will be saved in the object storage database.

In the related art, in the scenario of making the current bare metal server data and configuration retention, when in the user business process, it is necessary to retain all the existing server data at a certain node to ensure the efficiency of disaster recovery and recovery. , the operation method provided by cloud computing resource manufacturers is that the user of the bare metal server can back up the image of a single instance through the front-end console; in the scenario of user data recovery and online capacity expansion, if the user's bare metal server fails It is necessary to start another bare metal server to carry the service of the failed server, and the data needs to be migrated to the standby server. Or, when the user needs to copy the data of the original bare metal server to the expansion server for online capacity expansion, it is generally used through the front-end console. Copy the previously preserved image. In the related art, the cloud computing vendor's service provision is incomplete, unable to meet the user's usage needs, and unable to meet the user's important needs of reducing costs and improving efficiency.

In addition, in the related art, it is usually only possible to make a mirror image of the system disk data, the storage capacity of the system disk is small, and it is easier to replicate the system disk with a smaller capacity. All data on the data disk is mirrored, the data volume of the whole machine is relatively large, and the system disk data and data disk data are usually stored in different configuration files of the bare metal server, and the storage paths and permissions are relatively complicated. The path and data with different permissions are copied, migrated, and installed, and the implementation is relatively complex.

For user business scenarios, from the perspective of cloud computing vendors, the above image creation method can assist users in completing recovery work in specific scenarios such as server cluster failures, and can also assist users in rapidly expanding online servers, reducing time waiting and improving capacity expansion efficiency. . From the user's point of view, this method can improve user satisfaction and directly affect the business level of the business line; it can also reduce the labor cost of image management, realize automated processes, and reduce unnecessary labor costs.

In addition, in the related art, cloud computing vendors have not provided better data security and productized solutions for separating storage and computing in data storage services, which do not meet users' requirements for high availability of data storage. In this solution, users can use the console to Create images in your own actual business scenarios and support cross-region replication and migration to achieve data storage security and high availability. In addition, cloud computing vendors can provide object storage services for user image data storage, and the image files created by users through the front-end console can be stored in the object storage database corresponding to the object storage server; cloud computing vendors can also continuously update the object storage server. Iteration, from the user's point of view, can be used at any time, safe and reliable.

The embodiment of the present invention also provides another image file processing method, the method is applied to the image management platform; the object storage server of the image management platform stores a target image file, and the target image file includes the system image generated according to the method of the above embodiment files and data mirror files; in actual implementation, the file ID corresponding to the system mirror file and the file ID corresponding to the data mirror file can be displayed through the display interface of the mirror management platform. The system image file and the data image file can be packaged together, and only a file identifier corresponding to the package is displayed; as shown in Figure 6, the method includes the following steps:

Step S602: Receive a processing request for the system mirror file and the data mirror file, wherein the processing request includes one of the following: a copy request and a deletion request.

The staff of the cloud computing vendor can manage all the images visible to users through the image management platform. The user's front-end console and the image management platform can find the actual image file through the image file ID, and the user can send out system image files through the front-end console. and data image files, or the staff of cloud computing vendors can send processing requests for system image files and data image files. For example, a user can send a request to copy a certain image file to the image management The staff of the manufacturer can send a request to the image management platform to delete a certain image file, etc.

Step S604, based on the processing request, perform a processing operation corresponding to the processing request on the file identifier corresponding to the system image file and the file identifier corresponding to the data image file to obtain a second processing result.

After receiving the above processing request, the image management platform can perform the processing operation corresponding to the processing request on the file identifier corresponding to the system image file and the file identifier corresponding to the data image file, such as copy operation or delete operation; for example, user a has a The image file is stored in the object storage database. User b who belongs to the same unit as user a also wants to use this image file. User a is authorized to inform the staff of the operation management platform. The staff can operate the operation management platform and put the image file ID of user a. Copy it to user b. Specifically, the staff of the cloud computing manufacturer can fill in the image file ID, image file display name, target account, etc. through the operation interface of the image management platform, where the target account is the user b's front-end console. Account, when the operation is completed, the corresponding second processing result can be obtained.

In addition, the staff of the cloud computing manufacturer can also use the operation interface of the image management platform to uniformly filter and record all the user's image files based on the image file ID. The copy deletion operation is also the copy deletion of the image file ID. The image management platform is only for internal operation management, and does not involve specific data storage, installation, etc. The image management platform can control which image files users can see in the front-end console. The image management platform itself does not process the data in the pre-boot execution environment database and the object storage database. If the user-defined image file ID is deleted on the image management platform, the user cannot see the image file ID through the front-end console; for standard images, it is also maintained through the image management platform. If there is a problem with a standard image, it cannot be opened. For users, the staff of the cloud computing manufacturer can delete the image file ID of the standard image through the image management platform, so that the front-end console of all users will not display the image file ID of the standard image. It should be noted that, if the user sends a deletion request through the front-end console, you can refer to the above process of generating an image file to delete the corresponding image file in the pre-boot execution environment database and the object storage database.

Step S606, returning the second processing result to the user corresponding to the processing request.

After the second processing result is obtained, the second processing result can be returned to the user corresponding to the processing request. For example, continuing with the copy request in the previous step as an example, when the staff of the cloud computing manufacturer can use the operation interface of the image management platform After completing the corresponding operations, the image file ID will appear on the front-end console of user b. When the machine needs to be installed, user b can use the image corresponding to the image file ID.

The above-mentioned image file processing method receives a processing request for the system image file and the data image file; process result. Return the second processing result to the user corresponding to the processing request. In this way, the cloud computing vendor can manage all the images visible to the user, and the user can authorize the cloud computing vendor to deal with some problems in the system image file and data image file, which can improve the operation and maintenance efficiency.

In addition, by setting up the image management platform, the user's image files can be managed based on the file identifiers of the image files, which is more flexible and does not need to modify the data in the pre-boot execution environment database and the object storage database. The developed pre-start execution environment database is decoupled from the object storage database, and will not affect the data in the database if it meets user needs. In the related art, there is no image management platform for visual management, and data in the pre-boot execution environment database and the object storage database are directly modified, which is less flexible and difficult to quickly meet user needs.
