Resource deployment and application data routing methods and apparatuses, and storage medium

An application data routing method, comprising following operations performed by a network edge node or a network ingress gateway:

• receiving application data sent by an application client, wherein the application data carries or indicates a second cloud resource node list, the second cloud resource node list comprises one or more cloud resource nodes that are selected by an application provider from a first cloud resource node list according to a cloud resource state of each cloud resource node in the first cloud resource node list, the first cloud resource node list comprises one or more cloud resource nodes, and the second cloud resource node list is indicated in the application data in a following manner:
• using an anycast address carrying a bitmap as a destination address corresponding to the application data, wherein an indication bit in the bitmap is used for indicating whether a cloud resource node, corresponding to the indication bit, in the first cloud resource node list is contained the second cloud resource node list;
• or,
• carrying an identification index associated with the second cloud resource node list in a field other than a destination address field in the application data, wherein the field other than the destination address field comprises:
• a dedicated forwarding packet header, or an IPV6 known extension packet header, or both the dedicated forwarding packet header and the IPV6 known extension packet header;
• determining a target cloud resource node from the second cloud resource node list according to a network state between the application client and each of the one or more cloud resource nodes in the second cloud resource node list;
• and
• routing and forwarding the application data to the target cloud resource node.
