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 (52)

1. A computer-implemented method of configuring service instances, the method comprising:

receiving a first request for configuring services in a cloud environment from a client, the first request comprising configuration information related to the services, the configuration information comprising type indication information related to types of the services;

determining services to be deployed and a hypervisor related to configurations of the services based on the type indication information;

automatically deploying the services to launch service instances corresponding to the services; and

transferring the hypervisor and the configuration information to a first service instance of the service instances to configure the service instances, wherein the configuration information includes sizes of storage and computing resources for deploying the services.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein transferring the hypervisor and the configuration information to the first service instance of the service instances comprises:

launching the first service instance; and

in response to launching the first service instance, transferring the hypervisor and the configuration information to the first service instance.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein transferring the hypervisor and the configuration information to the first service instance of the service instances comprises:

launching the first service instance; and

in response to launching the first service instance, transferring the hypervisor to the first service instance to run the hypervisor in the first service instance.

4. The method according to claim 3 , further comprising:

receiving a second request from the first service instance for obtaining the configuration information, wherein the second request is generated by the hypervisor; and

in response to the request, returning the configuration information to the first service instance.

5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the configuration information further comprises a size of a storage for deploying the services.

6. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the configuration information further comprises a size of processing resources for deploying the services.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the configuration information was specified by a user via a user interface of the client.

8. A non-transitory machine-readable medium having instructions stored therein, which when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations of configuring service instances, the operations comprising:

receiving a first request for configuring services in a cloud environment from a client, the first request comprising configuration information related to the services, the configuration information comprising type indication information related to types of the services;

determining services to be deployed and a hypervisor related to configurations of the services based on the type indication information;

automatically deploying the services to launch service instances corresponding to the services; and

transferring the hypervisor and the configuration information to a first service instance of the service instances to configure the service instances, wherein the configuration information includes sizes of storage and computing resources for deploying the services.

9. The machine-readable medium according to claim 8 , wherein transferring the hypervisor and the configuration information to the first service instance of the service instances comprises:

launching the first service instance; and

in response to launching the first service instance, transferring the hypervisor and the configuration information to the first service instance.

10. The machine-readable medium according to claim 8 , wherein transferring the hypervisor and the configuration information to the first service instance of the service instances comprises:

launching the first service instance; and

in response to launching the first service instance, transferring the hypervisor to the first service instance to run the hypervisor in the first service instance.

11. The machine-readable medium according to claim 10 , wherein the operations further comprise:

receiving a second request from the first service instance for obtaining the configuration information, wherein the second request is generated by the hypervisor; and

in response to the request, returning the configuration information to the first service instance.

12. The machine-readable medium according to claim 8 , wherein the configuration information further comprises a size of a storage for deploying the services.

13. The machine-readable medium according to claim 8 , wherein the configuration information further comprises a size of processing resources for deploying the services.

14. The machine-readable medium of claim 8 , wherein the configuration information was specified by a user via a user interface of the client.

15. An electronic device, comprising:

a processor; and

a memory having instructions stored therein, which when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform operations of configuring service instances, the operations comprising:

receiving a first request for configuring services in a cloud environment from a client, the first request comprising configuration information related to the services, the configuration information comprising type indication information related to types of the services;

determining services to be deployed and a hypervisor related to configurations of the services based on the type indication information;

automatically deploying the services to launch service instances corresponding to the services; and

transferring the hypervisor and the configuration information to a first service instance of the service instances to configure the service instances, wherein the configuration information includes sizes of storage and computing resources for deploying the services.

16. The device according to claim 15 , wherein transferring the hypervisor and the configuration information to the first service instance of the service instances comprises:

launching the first service instance; and

in response to launching the first service instance, transferring the hypervisor and the configuration information to the first service instance.

17. The device according to claim 15 , wherein transferring the hypervisor and the configuration information to the first service instance of the service instances comprises:

launching the first service instance; and

in response to launching the first service instance, transferring the hypervisor to the first service instance to run the hypervisor in the first service instance.

18. The device according to claim 17 , wherein the operations further comprise:

receiving a second request from the first service instance for obtaining the configuration information, wherein the second request is generated by the hypervisor; and

in response to the request, returning the configuration information to the first service instance.

19. The device according to claim 15 , wherein the configuration information further comprises a size of a storage for deploying the services.

20. The device according to claim 15 , wherein the configuration information further comprises a size of processing resources for deploying the services.
