Automated and Adaptive Method for Multi-Component Software Deployment under Complex Constraints and Its Deployment Management System

Abstract

The invention discloses an automation and self-adaptation method for deploying multi-component software under complex constraint conditions and a deployment management system thereof, and belongs to the technical field of deployment and maintenance of computer software. Firstly, the deployment demand and deployment constraint conditions of the multi-component software are described in a deployment description language; then, according to the deployment demand and equipment status information detected in real time, the deployment management system can automatically and dynamically generate a deployment plan meeting the constraint conditions and automatically perform the deployment activity by using an equipment status information detector, a constraint solver and an automatic deployment device and calling the constraint solver. Thus, the automation and self-adaptation of deploying the multi-component software under the complex constraint conditions are achieved. Meanwhile, the software deployment efficiency is high, the software deployment cost is low, and the software deployment quality is good.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an automatic and adaptive method for multi-component software deployment and a deployment management system thereof, belonging to the technical field of computer software deployment and maintenance. Background technique [0002] Software deployment refers to the process of ensuring that the software is available and running normally after the software development is completed, including a series of activities such as installation, configuration, activation, upgrade, stop, and uninstallation. The deployment process of multi-component software can be divided into two phases: deployment design and deployment execution. Deployment designers propose a feasible deployment plan by analyzing the deployment requirements of software components and the information of all available deployment devices. The deployment plan essentially expresses the deployment mapping relationship between software components and deployment devices. This mappi...

Problems solved by technology

Its disadvantages are: for the deployment of large-scale multi-component software systems under complex constraints, (1) deployment designers and executives need to manually analyze and manage various deployment activities, which may be beyond the scope of ordinary technical personnel; ( 2) The complexity of the deployment constraints greatly increases the cost of manual analysis, and it is very error-prone and even difficult to complete; (3) The dynamic changes of the deployment plan greatly increase the cost of manual management, and the adjustment of the deployment plan may not be timely , and very error-prone

Its disadvantages are: (1) it can only be applied to a specific network environment, and it is not universal; (2) it can only handle relatively simple deployment requirements, and the analysis of user-defined complex deployment constraints still relies on manual work. The cost of analysis is high, and it is very error-prone and even difficult to complete; (3) The dynamic changes in the deployment plan caused by the failure of equipment in the network environment, the departure of equipment, or the addition of new equipment are not considered, and the self-adaptation of deployment cannot be realized
