Abstract

Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a method, a device and a computer program product for configuring service instances. The method comprises, at a computing device being used to implement a first service instance in a cloud environment, receiving, from a service manager of the cloud environment, a hypervisor related to a configuration of the first service instance. The method further comprises determining, based on the hypervisor, first configuration information for configuring the first service instance. The method further comprises configuring the first service instance with the first configuration information. With this method, service auto-deployment, auto-configuration and auto-association are realized, thereby improving user efficiency of configuring services and user experience.

Claims (37)

1. A method of configuring service instances, comprising:

at a computing device implementing a first service instance in a cloud environment:

receiving, from a service manager of the cloud environment, a hypervisor related to a configuration of the first service instance, wherein the service manager of the cloud environment includes components used for automatically deploying and configuring the service instances;

determining, based on the hypervisor, first configuration information for configuring the first service instance, wherein the first configuration information includes sizes of storage and computing resources for deploying the service instances; and

configuring the first service instance with the first configuration information.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein configuring the first service instance with the first configuration information comprises:

determining whether the first configuration information is valid; and

in response to the first configuration information being valid, configuring the first service instance with the first configuration information.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the cloud environment further comprises a second service instance related to the first service instance, the method further comprising:

obtaining second configuration information for configuring the second service instance, the second configuration information being determined based on the hypervisor and comprising address information related to the second service instance;

sending the second configuration information to the second service instance based on the address information; and

in response to completing the configuration of the first service instance and the second service instance, associating the first service instance with the second service instance.

4. The method according to claim 3 , wherein sending the second configuration information to the second service instance comprises:

determining whether the second configuration information is valid; and

in response to the second configuration information being valid, sending the second configuration information to the second service instance.

5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein determining the first configuration information for configuring the first service instance comprises:

obtaining the first configuration information from the hypervisor; or

sending a request for obtaining the first configuration information to the service manager to obtain the first configuration information from the service manager, the request being generated by the hypervisor.

6. A electronic device for configuring service instances, the electronic device being used to implement a first service instance in a cloud environment, the electronic device comprising:

a processor; and

a memory storing computer program instructions, the processor running the computer program instructions in the memory to control the electronic device to perform acts comprising:

receiving, from a service manager of the cloud environment, a hypervisor related to a configuration of the first service instance, wherein the service manager of the cloud environment includes components used for automatically deploying and configuring the service instances;

determining, based on the hypervisor, first configuration information for configuring the first service instance, wherein the first configuration information includes sizes of storage and computing resources for deploying the service; and

configuring the first service instance with the first configuration information.

7. The electronic device according to claim 6 , wherein configuring the first service instance with the first configuration information comprises:

determining whether the first configuration information is valid; and

in response to the first configuration information being valid, configuring the first service instance with the first configuration information.

8. The electronic device according to claim 6 , wherein the cloud environment further comprises a second service instance related to the first service instance, the acts further comprising:

obtaining second configuration information for configuring the second service instance, the second configuration information being determined based on the hypervisor and comprising address information related to the second service instance;

sending the second configuration information to the second service instance based on the address information; and

in response to completing the configuration of the first service instance and the second service instance, associating the first service instance with the second service instance.

9. The electronic device according to claim 8 , wherein sending the second configuration information to the second service instance comprises:

determining whether the second configuration information is valid; and

in response to the second configuration information being valid, sending the second configuration information to the second service instance.

10. The electronic device according to claim 6 , wherein determining the first configuration information for configuring the first service instance comprises:

obtaining the first configuration information from the hypervisor; or

sending a request for obtaining the first configuration information to the service manager to obtain the first configuration information from the service manager, the request being generated by the hypervisor.
