In a cloud computing service platform, based on the principle that an intelligent network card and in-band resources are required to be provided to users as completely as possible, fewer and fewer services of non-users are allowed to be deployed to the in-band or intelligent network card.

With the rise of marginalization, the cloud computing center service relying on the server hardware information is expected to be capable of disassembling a part of service to an edge node, namely, an edge server, so that the collection and control efficiency of the center server is improved.

In recent years, a Redfish tool based on REST API starts to replace a traditional ipmitool tool, so that the acquisition of server hardware information is more and more tightly combined with platforms and services of internet companies. In addition, with the powerful processor functions of the BMC, the BMC is enabled to support simple hardware query and control services for a remote server.

According to some embodiments of the application, part of services in the cloud computing center services are disassembled into edge services, and the edge services are deployed on a main board management controller of an edge server. By combining the rapid change of BMC hardware and the rapid change of a hardware acquisition mode with the central service of the cloud computing platform, the service performance of cloud computing is improved under the condition that the cost and in-band resources are not increased.

Before describing embodiments of the present application, terms appearing in the present application are explained first.

Out-of-band means outside the CPU.

In-band: the registers of the CPU are accessed by the operating system.

BMC (Baseboard Manager Controller, abbreviated as motherboard management Controller): one set of embedded systems, which employ the intelligence of the IPMI architecture, is a dedicated microcontroller embedded on the motherboard of a computer (typically a server). The BMC may also be understood as an independent board card on a server motherboard, having an independent processor and control system, communicating with local server hardware or a local server system through interfaces such as an IPMB, and providing functions such as querying or controlling of sensors and hardware information for a local server or a remote server through interfaces such as a network, a serial, and a PCI.

IPMI (Intelligent Platform Management Interface for short): an open standard hardware management interface rule defines a specific method for communication of an embedded management subsystem, and introduces a separate out-of-band management chip BMC. The advent of IPMI greatly facilitates remote management of servers.

Ipomitool: an IPMI platform management tool of a command line mode which can be used under a Linux system. The ipmitool can be used for acquiring information of the sensor, displaying log content of the system, remotely turning on and off the computer through a network and the like.

Redfish-an alternative version of IPMI, is accomplished by defining all APIs as those in the form of RESTful.

OpenBMC: the Linux distribution, BMC, is intended to span the management of heterogeneous systems, including enterprise, high performance computing, telecommunications, and cloud-scale data centers. The OpenBMC comprises a Web application program for interacting with the firmware stack, and is added with the support of Redfish on hardware management, and supports the functions of common host state viewing and control, host firmware updating and the like.

The cloud computing center server: the method is deployed on a server used as production by a cloud manufacturer and is a server cluster in the cloud manufacturer.

An edge server: and the server provides cloud services for the clients for the cloud manufacturers.

Marginalizing: the service originally located in the cloud computing center server is partially moved to the edge server, so that the performance and the efficiency are improved.

Modularization: the large-scale software is split into a plurality of mutually independent sub-modules, the sub-modules can be loaded and started separately, and the breakdown of a single module cannot cause the breakdown of the whole system.

Specific embodiments according to the present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Fig. 1 shows a schematic diagram of a cloud computing system according to an example embodiment of the present application. The cloud computing system shown in fig. 1 includes a cloud computing center server 105, an edge server 103, and a user operation center 101. The cloud computing center server 105 is deployed on a server used by a cloud manufacturer for production, and is a server cluster in the cloud manufacturer; the edge server 103 is a server for providing cloud services for customers by cloud manufacturers, and the user operation and maintenance center 101 manages the purchased cloud resources through the edge server 103 and runs the purchased services on the cloud computing center server 105 through the edge server 103.

According to some embodiments of the present application, by disassembling part of services deployed in the cloud computing center server 105 into edge services (e.g., hardware information query services) and deploying the services onto the motherboard management controller of the edge server 103, a high-performance cloud computing service can be provided for a user by using a cloud computing service center supporting a high-speed network transport protocol and an edge calculator deployed with the edge services without increasing cost and in-band resources.

Fig. 2 is a flowchart illustrating an marginalization method of a cloud computing center service according to an exemplary embodiment of the present application. Referring to fig. 2, a method for marginalizing a cloud computing center service according to an exemplary embodiment of the present application is described in detail.

In step S201, the relevant data for providing the edge service, which is split from the relevant data for providing the service by the cloud computing center server, is sent to the edge server, so that the edge server deploys the relevant data for providing the edge service to a motherboard management controller of the edge server. Wherein the related data is an executable program for providing a service.

According to some embodiments, after the services provided by the cloud computing center server are split, the cloud computing service center server executes services such as complex logic operation, data display and database access, and splits simple logic operation service, data acquisition service and control service into edge services to be deployed on the BMC.

For example, the information acquisition and/or control service of the hardware is split into edge services, and the edge services are deployed to the BMCs of the edge servers.

In step S203, the edge server is managed by using the edge service provided by the motherboard management controller of the edge server.

OpenBMC provides a Redfish REST API for platform management, and according to an example embodiment of the present application, an edge server manages its BMC using OpenBMC. The cloud computing center server sends the edge service to the edge server by utilizing a Redfish protocol provided by OpenBMC so as to realize hardware management of the edge server through BMC.

According to some embodiments, hardware management includes hardware information collection and/or hardware control of edge servers.

According to an example embodiment of the present application, the embodiment shown in fig. 2 is applicable to a cloud computing system as shown in fig. 1.

According to the embodiment shown in fig. 2, under the condition that cost and in-band resources are not increased, by disassembling part of services in the cloud computing center service into the edge service and deploying relevant data for providing the edge service to the mainboard management controller of the edge server, the service performance of cloud computing is improved.

Fig. 3 is a flowchart illustrating another marginalization method for a cloud computing center service according to an exemplary embodiment of the present application.

As shown in fig. 3, in step S301, relevant data for providing the edge service, acquired from the cloud computing center server, is deployed onto the motherboard management controller of the edge server by using OpenBMC. The related data of the edge service is an executable program for providing the edge service.

OpenBMC provides a Redfish REST API for platform management, and according to an example embodiment of the present application, an edge server manages its BMC using OpenBMC.

In step S301, the edge server deploys the relevant data for providing the edge service, acquired from the cloud computing center server, to a storage space of the motherboard management controller of the edge server through a preset interface (e.g., a DBus interface) by using a namespace and a control population process of OpenBMC.

According to some embodiments, the edge services include simple logical arithmetic services, data acquisition services, and control services. Such as hardware information acquisition and control services.

In step S303, in response to an edge service request of the cloud computing center server, an edge service is provided.

According to some embodiments, the edge service is provided through a preset interface (for example, a DBus interface) by using a namespace and a control population process of OpenBMC, and an execution program providing the edge service is run.

In steps S301 and S303, edge services are deployed in a modular manner by using a namespace of OpenBMC, a control group process, and a DBus interface, and the edge services and services of BMC themselves are resource-isolated, so that the edge services and the BMC do not interfere with each other, thereby preventing the edge services from using hardware resources at will and avoiding system errors; and the hang-up of the edge service can not cause the crash of the BMC system and can not influence the normal operation of other modules.

According to the example embodiment shown in fig. 3, the edge service (e.g., information acquisition and control of hardware) is run while the BMC itself service is not modified, enabling the edge service to implement millisecond-level data processing and hardware control.

Fig. 4 shows a schematic diagram of running an edge service according to an example embodiment of the present application. As shown in fig. 4, the cloud computing center server runs services such as complex logic processing, data processing, and database access, and the edge service deployed on the edge server runs services such as simple logic processing, fast data acquisition, and fast control. The OpenBMC carries out modular management on the edge service and the original module which are deployed on the edge server, the edge service and the original module are not interfered with each other, and the edge service and the original module communicate by utilizing a DBus interface provided by the OpenBMC.

According to other embodiments of the present application, the marginalization method shown in fig. 3 further includes upgrading relevant data of the edge service in response to an edge service upgrade request of the cloud computing center server.

Fig. 5 is a flowchart illustrating a method for upgrading an edge service according to an exemplary embodiment of the present application, where a cloud service purchased by a user includes a plurality of edge servers. As can be seen in connection with fig. 4, each edge server provides a plurality of edge services.

In the method for upgrading the edge service shown in fig. 5, in step S501, the user operation and maintenance center first stores an upgrade file that needs to be upgraded to the edge service in a cloud computing center server of a cloud vendor. And the cloud computing center service stores and manages the upgrade files of the edge modules, and executes the upgrade operation of the edge services after receiving the upgrade instruction of the user operation and maintenance center.

According to the embodiment of the application, the upgrade file of the edge service is a binary file which can be executed by the BMC.

In step S503, the cloud computing center server receives an upgrade instruction of the user operation and maintenance center.

According to some embodiments, the upgrade instruction includes the edge server and edge service to be upgraded, and the version number of the upgrade file.

In step S505, the cloud computing center server sends the upgrade file of the edge service to the edge server, so that the edge server stores the upgrade file in the memory of the BMC.

In step S507, the BMC of the edge server saves the upgrade file and determines whether the edge service has been deployed.

According to some embodiments, before storing the upgrade file, the integrity of the upgrade file needs to be checked, and step S507 is executed after the check is passed; and if the verification fails, sending failure information to the cloud computing service center. And the cloud computing service center resends the upgrade file or sends failure information to the user operation and maintenance center.

If the edge service is deployed, step S509 is executed to stop the old version of the edge service in operation and start executing the upgrade file to achieve the upgrade of the edge service.

And if the edge service is the newly added service, directly running the upgrade file so as to realize the deployment of the new edge service.

In step S513, the edge server feeds back the operation result of step S509 or step S511 to the cloud computing center server, so that the cloud computing center server stores the latest edge service state information.

And finally, the BMC feeds back information such as the version number of the execution file to the operation and maintenance center, so that a user can check whether the upgrade is successful through the operation and maintenance center.

With the embodiments shown in fig. 4 and 5, since the edge service deployed on the edge server and the existing module are modularly managed, and each edge module has a separate version for modularized upgrade. Compared with the traditional BMC upgrading mode (the image file of the BMC needs to be downloaded into the BMC to replace the whole BMC firmware and the BMC needs to be restarted), according to the modularized upgrading of the embodiment of the application, the module only needs to be independently transmitted into the BMC to operate, the BMC does not need to be restarted, the operation of the BMC is not affected, and the configuration and the upgrading of the unaware edge service are achieved.

According to an example embodiment of the present application, the embodiment shown in fig. 3 is applied to a cloud computing system as shown in fig. 1, and the marginalization method shown in fig. 3 further includes providing an edge service in response to an edge service request of the operation and maintenance center of the user.

According to some embodiments, the user operation and maintenance center utilizes hardware data which is acquired by the edge service and is specific to a data cloud manufacturer server. For example, a cloud manufacturer has a temperature sensor incorporated in its server, and the temperature data is one of data of BMC-specific functions of the cloud manufacturer. And the edge server responds to the temperature data request of the user operation and maintenance center and sends the temperature data to the edge server.

According to some embodiments of the present application, a cloud vendor transmits its hardware data using custom commands. In order to analyze the command, after a user purchases a cloud service of a cloud manufacturer, a communication plug-in is obtained from the BMC of the edge server and installed, and the edge service is operated through an interface provided by the communication plug-in so as to obtain hardware data specific to the cloud manufacturer.
