Description

Cloud Platform Management System

The present invention relates to a cloud service control technology, and more particularly to a centralized management interface capable of managing multiple cloud service platforms across platforms.

There are various application services on the Internet today. Most of the servers of these application services have adopted the cloud service platform of virtual host operators. For example, Amazon System (AWS), Microsoft Cloud (Azure) and Google Cloud (GCP) are all well-known cloud service providers. For application service providers, the various services set up on these cloud service platforms can be collectively referred to as cloud assets. Each cloud asset is usually integrated with one or more virtual hosts or physical hosts. The types of services that cloud assets can provide are all-encompassing, including web services, domain name services, storage services and SMS services.

There are more than 40 known cloud service platforms today. Each cloud service platform usually provides a front-end control interface, allowing customers to control cloud asset content remotely. For corporate customers, especially multinational companies, they usually use more than one cloud service platform to deploy cloud assets. Since the deployment of cloud assets involves complex technical parameter settings, and the front-end control interface provided by each cloud service platform is usually very different. For technical personnel, it takes a huge amount of man-hours to familiarize themselves with the front-end control interface of each cloud service platform, and spend multiple hours to control the cloud assets distributed on each cloud service platform. With the rapid changes in technology, the complexity of the functions and interfaces that need to be familiar is increasing, making the technical threshold for manual control higher and higher. In addition, many cloud assets provide services that are online and real-time, and when failures occur, they must be handled immediately.

To solve the technical barriers that corporate customers encounter when operating cloud service platforms, professional hosting service providers have emerged. However, professional hosting service providers and corporate customers face the same management difficulties, including scarcity of professional management talents, high management costs, and lack of immediacy.

In view of this, the present invention proposes a cloud platform management system, which is configured to manage multiple cloud platforms through a single interface. The cloud platform management system at least includes: a communication module, a storage device, and a processor. The communication module can be coupled to a first cloud platform and a second cloud platform, wherein the first cloud platform and the second cloud platform include different program interfaces. The storage device stores a computer program product, which can control the first cloud platform and the second cloud platform. The processor is coupled to the communication module and the storage device, and is configured to execute the computer program product.

The computer program product at least includes: a first service controller, a first interface collector, a second interface collector, and a control element. The first service controller generates a first network service request that can control a first network service. The first interface collector is coupled to the first service controller for interfacing with a first programming interface of the first cloud platform. The second interface collector is coupled to the first service controller for interfacing with a second programming interface of the second cloud platform. The control element can control the first service controller to issue the first network service request to the first interface collector and the second interface collector according to a trigger condition. When the first interface collector receives the first network service request, a first translation module in the first interface collector translates the first network service request into a first cloud control command executable by the first cloud platform. When the second interface collector receives the first network service request, a second translator in the second interface collector translates the first network service request into a second cloud control command executable by the second cloud platform. Then, the processor controls the communication module to transmit the first cloud control command to the first cloud platform and transmit the second cloud control command to the second cloud platform.

In one embodiment, the first network service may be, but is not limited to, a domain name service, a database service, a virtual host system, a content delivery network, or a key service. The first service controller may be, but is not limited to, a domain name controller, a database controller, a virtual host controller, a content delivery network controller, or a key controller.

In another embodiment, the cloud platform management system further includes a human-machine interface coupled to the processor, configured to receive an operation instruction to control the first cloud platform or the second cloud platform, and display output data generated by the processor.

In a further embodiment, when the first interface collector receives a first execution result generated after the first cloud platform executes the first cloud control command, the first translation module interprets the first execution result into a first interpretation result. When the second interface collector receives a second execution result generated after the second cloud platform executes the second cloud control command, the second translation module interprets the second execution result into a second interpretation result. The first interpretation result and the second interpretation result have a common format that can be displayed by the processor.

In a further embodiment, the first translation module transmits the first interpretation result to the control element through the first service controller. The second translation module transmits the second interpretation result to the control element through the first service controller. The control element identifies the first interpretation result and the second interpretation result, and displays an identification result through the processor.

In a further embodiment, the control element includes an interactive module for receiving the operation instruction through the human-machine interface. The trigger condition includes that the operation instruction includes the first network service request. When the trigger condition is met, the control element immediately controls the first service controller to send the first network service request to the first interface collector and the second interface collector.

In another embodiment, the control element is a scheduling module for timing triggering one or more pre-scheduled tasks. The triggering condition includes that a clock in the cloud platform management system reaches a specified execution time of a pre-scheduled task, wherein the pre-scheduled task includes the first network service request. When the triggering condition is met, the control element controls the first service controller to send the first network service request to the first interface collector and the second interface collector according to the pre-scheduled task.

In another embodiment, the control element includes a monitoring module for monitoring the execution status of a first cloud asset on the first cloud platform and the execution status of a second cloud asset on the second cloud platform. The trigger condition includes that the monitoring module detects a specific condition in the first cloud asset or the second cloud asset. When the trigger condition is met, the control element controls the first service controller to issue the first network service request to the first interface collector and the second interface collector according to the specific condition.

In another embodiment, the control element further includes a response script corresponding to the execution status of the first cloud asset and the execution status of the second cloud asset. The trigger condition includes that the monitoring module detects that the specific status occurs in the first cloud asset or the second cloud asset. When the trigger condition is met, the control element executes the response script according to the specific status, so that the first service controller sends the first network service request to the first interface collector and the second interface collector.

In a further embodiment, the computer program product also includes a second service controller for generating a second network service request that can control a second network service. The control element is also configured to control the second service controller to issue the second network service request to the first interface collector and the second interface collector according to the trigger condition. When the first interface collector receives the first network service request and the second network service request, the first translation module translates the first network service request and the second network service request into the first cloud control command executable by the first cloud platform. When the second interface collector receives the first network service request and the second network service request, the second translation module translates the first network service request and the second network service request into the second cloud control command executable by the second cloud platform. The processor controls the communication module to transmit the first cloud control command to the first cloud platform, and transmits the second cloud control command to the second cloud platform.

The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, but not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative labor are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

The present invention proposes a "one-stop cross-cloud automated maintenance platform" computer program product that can manage multiple different cloud service platforms through a single interface. Operators no longer need to learn different cloud service platform operating interfaces in real time, thereby reducing labor costs. The computer program product of the present invention has three core features: central control, interactive scripts, and information security control. In terms of central control, the computer program product of the present invention can fully control cross-platform cloud assets, and a single central control interface in the form of a web page can support the management and integration of more than forty cloud service providers. In terms of interactive scripting technology, the computer program product of the present invention integrates chatbot technology and combines it with pre-designed scripts to provide operators with an interactive control interface. Using an interactive control interface to manage the system can increase accuracy, reduce error rates, and improve processing speed. In terms of information security control, the computer program product of the present invention implements role-based access control (RBAC), multi-factor authentication and single sign-on protocol that are compliant with standards. In addition, a complete operation trace recording mechanism is implemented to ensure that information security is protected.

The types of assets that can be managed by the computer program product of the present invention include but are not limited to: public clouds, servers, jump servers, links, databases, domains, content delivery networks (CDNs), keys, and robots. According to statistics, 70% of system failures in the information industry come from human factors. For users, as long as the computer program product of the present invention is adopted, they can manage multiple different cloud service platforms. Not only can the labor cost be significantly reduced, but the probability of human error can also be greatly reduced. Hundreds of hours of labor costs can be saved every year.

The management functions performed by the computer program product of the present invention can be divided into two modes: real-time synchronous processing mechanism and asynchronous scheduling mechanism. In other words, when performing cross-platform management, in addition to enabling multiple platforms to execute commands synchronously in real time, multiple platforms can also be asynchronously executed through regular scheduling.

In practice, the core component of the computer program product of the present invention is also called CloudKit, which is an expandable architecture that dynamically expands the corresponding service controllers at any time according to the new functions of various cloud platforms on the market. For example, the CloudKit may include a variety of service controllers for controlling common services such as web services, databases, and content delivery networks. General cloud service platform providers usually provide programming interfaces corresponding to various cloud services. Each service controller in the CloudKit can be connected to these application programming interfaces to control the corresponding functions.

In the cloud control suite of the present invention, a plurality of interface collectors are included for receiving instructions from various control elements. For example, an operator can issue instructions to the cloud control suite in real time through a human-machine interface. The program product of the present invention can also implement a scheduling mechanism so that instruction calls are executed in an asynchronous manner. Each interface collector can be responsible for processing a specific function of a cloud service platform. When the cloud control suite receives an instruction with a specific number, it is forwarded to the corresponding cloud service platform through the interface collector with the corresponding number to execute the corresponding specific function. For example, when a user wants to execute function X on platform A, a command call can be issued through the human-machine interface, and its header carries a specific code about platform A and function X. After receiving the command call, the cloud control suite will immediately call the interface collector corresponding to the X function of the A platform, so that the interface collector will translate the command call into a format that can be interpreted by the A platform, and then send it to the programming interface of the A platform so that the A platform executes the command call.

The following describes an implementation example of real-time synchronous operation. When a control element in the cloud control suite issues a command call, the cloud control suite simultaneously forwards the command call and related parameters to the corresponding interface collector in the cloud control suite. The interface collector translates and re-encodes the command call into a programming interface (API) request that can be interpreted by the corresponding cloud service platform. After the interface collector completes the encoding verification, the translated application programming interface request can be sent to the corresponding cloud service platform using the secure hypertext transfer protocol HTTPS delivery/retrieval method (POST/GET). After receiving the application programming interface request, the cloud service platform executes the corresponding function and returns the execution result and related status data to the interface collector of the cloud control suite. After receiving the execution result and related status data, the interface collector can forward it to the control element that initiated the command call.

The following describes several scenarios in which Cloud Control Suite can be used to control multiple cloud service platforms simultaneously.

For example, when a user needs to modify existing cloud asset parameters in real time, the user can send the cloud asset parameters to be modified to the corresponding cloud asset through the human-machine interface. For example: modify the resolved Internet address in the domain name.

In one embodiment, when a user needs to deploy a new cloud asset in real time, the user can use a human-machine interface to simultaneously instruct one or more cloud service platforms to add a new server each and connect them in series to form an operational cloud asset.

In another embodiment, when the user needs to view the real-time status information of all cloud service platforms, a synchronization function can be executed through the human-machine interface to download the real-time status information of all cloud service platforms to the cloud control suite for synchronous presentation.

In a further embodiment, the cloud control suite can monitor all cloud assets in real time. To achieve real-time monitoring, the cloud control suite can set a callback function (Webhook) to collect external real-time monitoring data or exception notifications. Multiple response scripts can be set in the cloud control suite, which are used for subsequent response processing for specific abnormal conditions. For example, the present invention can be used in conjunction with a monitoring system to monitor various operating conditions on each cloud service platform. The monitoring system can be a third-party system outside the cloud control suite, or it can be one of the control components in the cloud control suite. When an external monitoring system detects that the operating status of a specific service is abnormal, an abnormal notification can be sent to the cloud control suite. The cloud control suite receives the exception notification through a callback function and triggers the corresponding response script. The response script can determine the status based on the data contained in the exception notification, or actively execute more detection scripts to determine the status. The processor can then execute the corresponding response script based on the determined status. The function of the response script can be, for example, to adjust the cloud assets where the exception occurs through the communication module. In another application scenario, the control element includes a monitoring module for monitoring the corresponding IP of a specific domain name. When the monitoring module detects a change in the IP domain name mapping, it can issue an abnormal notification to load and execute a domain name response script on the processor to determine whether the IP change is a hacker attack. If the processor determines that the IP change is a hacker attack, it can control the cloud control suite to call the corresponding cloud service platform to restore the domain name corresponding IP settings.

The following describes several scenarios in which Cloud Control Suite can be used to control multiple cloud service platforms asynchronously.

Since the cloud control suite of the present invention must be able to control the status of all controlled platforms, it is necessary to periodically synchronize and update the execution status data of each cloud service platform. A storage device can be set in the cloud control suite to control the cloud control suite to periodically send various cloud control commands to the corresponding cloud service platforms through the interface collector. After receiving the cloud control command, each cloud service platform can respond with corresponding data to the corresponding interface collector of the cloud control suite through the original pipeline. After the interface collector obtains the relevant response data, it can interpret the response data into the local format of the cloud control suite, and then dispatch it to the relevant components in the cloud control suite for storage or processing, thereby completing cross-platform data synchronization. In other words, the asynchronous operation of the cloud control suite can be a scheduled synchronous operation. The storage device in the cloud control suite can configure a synchronization schedule for each cloud asset.

In one embodiment, the configuration rules of the synchronization schedule may include periodic parameters such as minutes, hours, days, months, and cycles, for example: synchronization every 20 minutes, synchronization at 03:00 every morning, synchronization on the 1st of every month, and so on.

In another embodiment, the cloud control suite can also control the processor to execute a scheduling module to periodically change the settings of cloud assets in multiple different cloud service platforms. When the schedule of the scheduling module is triggered, the relevant modules in the cloud control suite can translate and send corresponding cloud control commands through the cloud control suite to modify the parameters on the corresponding cloud assets. After the cloud asset modification is completed, the cloud control suite can also perform a cross-platform real-time synchronization to ensure the consistency of all controlled data.

FIG1 is a block diagram of a cloud platform management system of an embodiment of the present application. As shown in FIG1, the cloud platform management system 150 is a computer software and hardware product, including a processor 151, a human-machine interface 153, a communication module 155, a memory 157, and a storage device 159. A cloud control kit 200 is stored in the storage device 159. After the cloud control kit 200 is executed by the processor 151, it can be used to control the cloud service system 100, including the first cloud platform 110, the second cloud platform 120, and the third cloud platform 130. The cloud platforms may refer to various cloud service platforms known in the existing market. Each cloud platform provides a programming interface and cloud assets. For example, the first cloud platform 110 provides a first programming interface 114 and a first cloud asset 112, the second cloud platform 120 provides a second programming interface 124 and a second cloud asset 122, and the third cloud platform 130 provides a third programming interface 134 and a third cloud asset 132. Each cloud asset may be, but is not limited to, a web server, a domain name server, a database, a blockchain, or any combination of various applications. The operating interface and programming interface between each cloud platform usually have their own unique specifications or protocols, which are incompatible with each other. The cloud control kit 200 of the present invention can support multiple different cloud platforms at the same time, and can control multiple cloud assets across platforms with a single interface.

The communication module 155 in the cloud platform management system 150 can be one or any combination of a wired network, a wireless network, or a global communication network. The communication module 155 can be coupled to the first cloud platform 110, the second cloud platform 120, and the third cloud platform 130 through one or any combination of the Internet, a virtual private network, and a local area network (not shown).

The memory 157 in the cloud platform management system 150 can be used for the processor 151 to perform calculations. For example, the processor 151 can load the cloud control kit 200 from the storage device 159 into the memory 157 and then execute it. The human-machine interface 153 is coupled to the processor 151 to provide the user with basic input and output operations. The human-machine interface 153 may include common input interfaces, such as a keyboard and a mouse, and output interfaces, such as a screen or text. In other words, the human-machine interface 153 can receive an operation instruction to control the first cloud platform 110 or the second cloud platform 120, and display the output data generated by the processor 151.

FIG2 is a block diagram of a cloud control suite of an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG2, the cloud control suite 200 includes a plurality of interface collectors, each of which is responsible for supporting the communication protocol of a cloud platform. For example, the first interface collector 210 can be connected to the first programming interface 114 of the first cloud platform 110, the second interface collector 220 can be connected to the second programming interface 124 of the second cloud platform 120, and the third interface collector 230 can be connected to the third programming interface 134 of the third cloud platform 130. When the cloud control suite 200 receives a command with a specific number, it is forwarded to the corresponding cloud platform through the interface collector with the corresponding number to execute the corresponding specific function. Because there are many types of cloud platforms on the market and their functions are updated frequently. Therefore, the interface collector in the cloud control suite 200 adopts an expandable architecture design to continuously update the version and expand the function. It should be understood that although three interface collectors are shown in FIG. 2 in this embodiment, in practice, the number of interface collectors in the cloud control suite 200 is not limited thereto.

As shown in FIG2 , the cloud control suite 200 may also include a plurality of service controllers, such as a first service controller 240 and a second service controller 250. The first service controller 240 may generate a first network service request for controlling a first network service, and the second service controller 250 may generate a second network service request for controlling a second network service. Each service controller is a controller for a specific network service. For example, the first and second network services may be, but are not limited to, domain name services, database services, virtual host systems, content delivery networks, or key services. The first service controller 240 and the second service controller 250 may be, but are not limited to, a domain name controller, a database controller, a virtual host controller, a content delivery network controller, or a key controller, respectively. It should be understood that there are numerous types of network service applications today, so the cloud control suite 200 of this embodiment adopts an expandable architecture to design a service controller so as to design a corresponding service controller for a new network service. Although this embodiment only shows two service controllers in FIG. 2 , in practice, the number of service controllers is not limited thereto.

The first cloud asset 112, the second cloud asset 122 and the third cloud asset 132 in the first cloud platform 110, the second cloud platform 120 and the third cloud platform 130 can respectively run one or more different network services. Therefore, one or more different service controllers in the cloud control suite 200 are required to handle them accordingly. However, the communication protocols of each cloud platform are incompatible with each other, so the corresponding first interface collector 210, the second interface collector 220 and the third interface collector 230 are also required to connect and translate information on their behalf. For example, the first interface collector 210 includes a first translation module 212, the second interface collector 220 includes a second translation module 222, and the third interface collector 230 includes a third translation module 232, which are respectively configured to perform translation functions that can execute service requests.

In order to unify the operation of the control service controller on each cloud platform, a control element 300 is also provided in the cloud control suite 200. The control element can control the first service controller 240 to issue the first network service request to the first interface collector 210 and the second interface collector 220 according to a trigger condition. When the first interface collector 210 receives the first network service request, the first translation module 212 in the first interface collector 210 translates the first network service request into a first cloud control command executable by the first cloud platform 110. When the second interface collector 220 receives the first network service request, the second translation module 222 in the second interface collector 220 translates the first network service request into a second cloud control command executable by the second cloud platform 120. Then, the processor 151 controls the communication module 155 to transmit the first cloud control command to the first cloud platform 110 , and transmits the second cloud control command to the second cloud platform 120 .

After receiving the control command, the cloud platform usually generates a corresponding execution result. The execution results of each cloud platform are usually presented in different forms, so after being returned to the cloud platform management system 150, they also need to be interpreted into a unified format so that the control component 300 can determine whether the result meets expectations. For example, when the first interface collector 210 receives a first execution result generated by the first cloud platform 110 executing the first cloud control command, the first translation module 212 interprets the first execution result as a first interpretation result. When the second interface collector 220 receives a second execution result generated by the second cloud platform 120 executing the second cloud control command, the second translation module 222 interprets the second execution result as a second interpretation result. The first interpretation result and the second interpretation result have a common format that can be displayed by the processor 151, or have the same format that can be read by the control component 300.

In this embodiment, since the first cloud control command and the second cloud control command are both issued by the first service controller 240, the first execution result and the second execution result of the first cloud platform 110 and the second cloud platform 120 are also returned to the first service controller 240. The first service controller 240 receives the first interpretation result and the second interpretation result after individual interpretation from the first translation module 212 or the second translation module 222, which have a consistent format that can be read by the local end. The first service controller 240 transfers the first interpretation result and the second interpretation result to the control element 300. The control element 300 identifies the first interpretation result and the second interpretation result, and displays an identification result through the processor 151. For example, the control component 300 can issue a command to make the first cloud platform 110 and the second cloud platform 120 perform an action at the same time, such as displaying the current load status. However, the data returned by the first cloud platform 110 and the second cloud platform 120 have different formats, so the first translation module 212 and the second translation module 222 play the role of translation so that the returned data received by the control component 300 is consistent. It can be understood that when the cloud platform management system 150 of this embodiment performs two-way interaction with multiple cloud platforms, the individually customized two-way translation module plays a key role.

In a further embodiment, since the cloud control commands and required parameters that can be executed by each cloud platform are different, the instructions and order required to achieve the same functional effect may be different. Therefore, the service request issued by the service controller in the cloud platform management system 150 and the cloud control command translated by the translation module are not necessarily a one-to-one relationship. For example, in some specific cases, the translation module can translate multiple service requests into a single cloud control command, translate one service request into a combination of multiple cloud control commands, or translate multiple service requests into a combination of multiple cloud control commands. In other words, the first translation module 212, the second translation module 222 and the third translation module 232 in the first interface collector 210, the second interface collector 220 and the third interface collector 230 of the present embodiment may have the function of a compiler, and intelligently reorganize and compile one or more cloud control command combinations according to the service requirements of one or more service controllers in order to achieve specific functions.

For example, the cloud control suite 200 can support reintegrating and compiling service requests issued by more than two service controllers into cloud control commands for controlling the cloud platform at one time. As shown in FIG. 2 , the second service controller 250 in the cloud control suite 200 generates a second network service request that can control a second network service. When the control element 300 triggers the control program, the second service controller 250 sends the second network service request to the first interface collector 210 and the second interface collector 220. When the first interface collector 210 receives the first network service request and the second network service request, the first translation module 212 integrates and translates the first network service request and the second network service request into one or more first cloud control commands executable by the first cloud platform 110. Similarly, when the second interface collector 220 receives the first network service request and the second network service request, the second translator 222 integrates the first network service request and the second network service request and translates them into one or more second cloud control commands executable by the second cloud platform 120. Then, the processor 151 controls the communication module 155 to transmit the first cloud control command to the first cloud platform 110, and transmits the second cloud control command to the second cloud platform 120. In some special scenarios, the cloud assets in the cloud platform may involve simultaneous changes of multiple different services. For example, a database service and a web server are simultaneously executed in a virtual host. When the virtual host needs to be backed up, the backup procedures for the database service and the web data are run by different service controllers. The cloud control kit 200 of the present invention can be easily integrated into a one-key operation through the design of the control element 300.

FIG3 is a block diagram of a control element of an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG3, the control element 300 in the cloud control suite 200 is a core unit that drives one or more service controllers to control one or more cloud platforms, and can generate corresponding control programs according to various situation changes. When executing cross-platform management, in addition to enabling multiple platforms to execute commands synchronously in real time, multiple platforms can also execute commands asynchronously through regular scheduling.

In an embodiment of real-time control of multiple cloud platforms, the control element 300 includes an interactive module 350 for receiving operation instructions input by the user through the human-machine interface 153. When the operation instruction includes a first network service request to control the first cloud platform 110 and the second cloud platform 120, the control element 300 can trigger the real-time control program, so that the first service controller 240 transmits the first network service request to the first interface collector 210 and the second interface collector 220, and then the first interface collector 210 and the second interface collector 220 perform corresponding translation to control the first cloud platform 110 and the second cloud platform 120. In one embodiment, the interactive module 350 can be an intelligent chat robot Chatbot, which can interact with the operator in a spoken way and provide various function reminders to reduce user operation errors.

In a non-real-time operation embodiment, the control element 300 may include a scheduling module 310 for timing triggering one or more pre-scheduled tasks. The pre-scheduled tasks may include a first network service request to control the first cloud platform 110 and the second cloud platform 120. When a clock (not shown) in the cloud platform management system 150 reaches the specified execution time of a pre-scheduled task, the control element 300 triggers the corresponding control program, and controls the first service controller 240 to transmit the first network service request to the first interface collector 210 and the second interface collector 220 according to the pre-scheduled task, and then the first interface collector 210 and the second interface collector 220 perform corresponding translation to control the first cloud platform 110 and the second cloud platform 120.

In an embodiment with a monitoring mechanism, the control element 300 may include a monitoring module 320 for monitoring the execution status of a first cloud asset 112 on the first cloud platform 110 and the execution status of a second cloud asset 122 on the second cloud platform 120. When the monitoring module 320 detects a specific condition in the first cloud asset 112 or the second cloud asset 122, the control element 300 triggers a corresponding control program, and controls the first service controller 240 to issue one or more network service requests to the first interface collector 210 and the second interface collector 220 according to the specific condition to resolve the specific condition. For example, when the monitoring module 320 determines that the first cloud asset 112 or the second cloud asset 122 fails, it can immediately issue a series of network service requests to enable the first cloud platform 110 and the second cloud platform 120 to create new cloud assets from the backup image file to replace the failed cloud assets.

In a further embodiment, one or more response scripts 330 may be pre-designed in the control element 300 for various special conditions. When the monitoring module 320 monitors the execution status of the first cloud asset 112 and the execution status of the second cloud asset 122, if a specific condition is detected in the first cloud asset 112 or the second cloud asset 122, the control element 300 triggers the corresponding control program, executes a corresponding response script 330 according to the specific condition, and causes the first service controller 240 to send one or more network service requests to the first interface collector 210 and the second interface collector 220. The first interface collector 210 and the second interface collector 220 perform corresponding translation on the one or more network service requests to generate a series of cloud control commands, and correspondingly process the status of the first cloud asset 112 or the second cloud asset 122 in the first cloud platform 110 and the second cloud platform 120.

The control element 300 may further include a recording module 340 for recording all traces of the operation process and the running process. In addition to the general syslog or eventlog recording method, the recording method may also adopt a human-machine interface recording. Under the ISO27001 standard of the international standard organization, a complete recording mechanism is a necessary condition for information security. The cloud control kit 200 of the present invention has a flexible expansion architecture, and can easily expand functions according to needs to meet the latest regulatory requirements.

In FIG4, dotted lines are used to separate processes executed by different components; for example, the steps executed by the first service controller 240, the first interface collector 210, and the first cloud platform 110 are presented in different fields. In process 402, the control process is triggered by the human-machine interface 153, and the user can operate through the human-machine interface 153 of the cloud platform management system 150 to control multiple cloud platforms in real time. The human-machine interface 153 can be a local keyboard and mouse screen, or it can be in the form of a web page or an application graphical interface. In step 404, the first service controller 240 transmits the first service request to the first interface collector 210; in step 406, the first interface collector 210 translates the first service request into a first cloud control command; in step 408, the first interface collector 210 transmits the first cloud control command to the first cloud platform 110; in step 410, the first cloud platform 110 receives the first cloud control command; in step 412, the first cloud platform 110 executes the first cloud control command to generate a first Execution result; in step 414, the first cloud platform 110 transmits the first execution result to the first interface collector; in step 416, the first interface collector 210 receives and interprets the first execution result as a first interpretation result; in step 418, the first interface collector 210 transmits the first interpretation result to the first service controller 240; in step 420, the first service controller 240 receives the first interpretation result; in step 422, the first service controller 240 identifies the first interpretation result for subsequent processing. It can be understood that, for ease of understanding, this embodiment only uses one service controller to illustrate the process of controlling a cloud platform through one interface collector. In practice, the number of service controllers, interface collectors, and cloud platforms is not limited to this.

FIG5 is an asynchronous service control flow chart of a cloud platform management system of an embodiment of the present invention. Unlike the embodiment of FIG4, the process of FIG5 is an asynchronous control process controlled by a scheduling module 310. In FIG5, dashed lines are used to separate processes executed by different components; for example, the steps executed by the first service controller 240, the first interface collector 210, and the first cloud platform 110 are presented in different fields. In process 502, the control process is triggered by the scheduling module 310. A clock (not shown) may be built into the cloud platform management system 150, and maintenance or monitoring tasks may be executed periodically according to a task schedule. After process 502, steps 404 to 422 executed are the same as those of the embodiment of FIG4 and will not be described in detail.

Figure 6 is an integrated service control flow chart of a cloud platform management system according to an embodiment of the present invention. The application scenario of this embodiment is that a cloud asset on a cloud platform executes more than one service, so more than one different service controller is required to control a cloud platform at the same time. In step 602, the first service controller transmits the first service request to the first interface collector; in step 604, the second service controller transmits the second service request to the first interface collector; in step 606, the first interface collector integrates the first service request and the second service request and translates them into a first cloud control command, and transmits them to the first cloud platform; in step 608, the first cloud platform executes the first cloud control command and returns the first execution result to the first interface collector; in step 610, the first interface collector interprets the first execution result and transmits it to the first service controller and the second service controller respectively; in step 612, the first service controller and the second service controller respectively identify the first interpretation result for subsequent processing.

Figure 7 is an integrated service control flow chart of the cloud platform management system of another embodiment of the present invention. The application scenario of this embodiment is that there are cloud assets on two cloud platforms that need to be controlled by a service controller at the same time and perform the same functions. Since the control interfaces and connection protocols of the two cloud platforms are not exactly the same, corresponding interface collectors are required to handle the translation of service requests. First, in step 702, the first service controller transmits the first service request to the first interface collector and the second interface collector; in step 704, the first interface collector translates the first service request into a first cloud control command and transmits it to the first cloud platform; in step 706, the second interface collector translates the first service request into a second cloud control command and transmits it to the second cloud platform; in step 708, the first cloud platform executes the first cloud control command, And returns the first execution result to the first interface collector; in step 710, the second cloud platform executes the second cloud control command, and returns the second execution result to the second interface collector; in step 712, the first interface collector and the second interface collector respectively interpret and transmit the first execution result and the second execution result to the first service controller; in step 714, the first service controller respectively identifies the first interpretation result and the second interpretation result for subsequent processing. It can be understood that although the present embodiment controls two cloud platforms at a time, in practice, the number of controllable cloud platforms is not limited to this. When the number of cloud platforms controlled at the same time is large, the user's operating cost does not need to be increased. Therefore, the control efficiency is extremely high, saving a lot of manpower costs.

In summary, the present invention proposes a cloud platform management system to solve the technical barriers encountered by users when operating a cloud service platform. The training cost for operation and use only requires one set, which can solve the management problem across cloud platforms. It not only reduces the technical threshold for professional management talents, but also reduces management costs and improves the real-time management efficiency.
