US 2018/0026909 A1 · METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR ALLOCATING RESOURCES

Abstract

A method for allocating resources performed by an infrastructure management node is provided, the method comprising obtaining deployment requirements of virtual resources of a service application at an application layer, wherein the deployment requirements include requirements of isolation physical resources and requirements of affinity physical resources, wherein physical resources of levels are ranked by isolation from low to high and wherein the physical resources of the levels are ranked by affinity from low to high, wherein a level of the isolation physical resources is higher than a level of the affinity physical resources in the deployment requirements of the virtual resources, determining the physical resources which satisfy the requirements of isolation physical resources and requirements of affinity physical resources at a physical resources layer, and creating the virtual resources on the determined physical resources and providing the virtual resources to the service application.

Dependent claims

A method for allocating resources performed by an infrastructure management node, comprising:

obtaining deployment requirements of virtual resources of a service application at an application layer, wherein the deployment requirements include requirements of isolation physical resources and requirements of affinity physical resources, wherein physical resources of levels are ranked by isolation from low to high, comprising:
a host, a chassis, a rack, a site, and a geographic disaster recovery, and wherein the physical resources of the levels are ranked by affinity from low to high, comprising:
the geographic disaster recovery, the site, the rack, the chassis, and the host, wherein a level of the isolation physical resources is higher than a level of the affinity physical resources in the deployment requirements of the virtual resources;
determining the physical resources which satisfy the requirements of isolation physical resources and requirements of affinity physical resources at a physical resources layer;
and
creating the virtual resources on the determined physical resources and providing the virtual resources to the service application.

3 more elements

An infrastructure management node for allocating resources, comprising:

a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions;
and
a processor in communication with the storage medium, with the processor executing the instructions to:
obtain deployment requirements of virtual resources of a service application at an application layer, wherein the deployment requirements include requirements of isolation physical resources and requirements of affinity physical resources, wherein physical resources of levels are ranked by isolation from low to high, comprising:
a host, a chassis, a rack, a site, and a geographic disaster recovery, and wherein the physical resources of the levels are ranked by affinity from low to high, comprising:
the geographic disaster recovery, the site, the rack, the chassis, and the host, wherein a level of the isolation physical resources is higher than a level of the affinity physical resources in the deployment requirements of the virtual resources;
determine the physical resources which satisfy the requirements of the isolation physical resources and the requirements of the affinity physical resources at a physical resources layer;
and
create the virtual resources on the determined physical resources and providing the virtual resources to the service application.
