The technical scheme more clearly understood the embodiment of the present invention to enable those skilled in the art and provide, below by specific embodiment, the charging method that embodiments of the invention provide is described in detail, for convenience of description, below for the first tenant, this first tenant can be any one tenant in all tenants, and as shown in Figure 5, the method comprises:

Step 301, analysis center's subregion that the first tenant is corresponding according to the identified query of the first tenant the available area corresponding with described first tenant inquired about in the corresponding each subregion of described first tenant, obtain at least one available area that described first tenant is corresponding.

Exemplary, before data start collection, the interface Get/v3/domains of KeyStone (authentication module) can call to inquire about Domains (territory) list (domain list comprises the information of each subregion) in analysis center, set up the relation between each tenant, subregion and available area according to Domains list, can inquire in subregion corresponding to each tenant, each subregion should the available area of tenant according to this relation.

Therefore utilize above-mentioned relation, mark (such as tenant ID) according to the first tenant inquires about subregion corresponding to the first tenant, and the available area corresponding with the first tenant inquired about in each subregion corresponding to the first tenant, at least one available area that the first tenant is corresponding can be obtained, an available area list can be generated for this at least one available area.Wherein, the mark of this first tenant can be the tenant ID of this first tenant, and this tenant ID can be such as Token (access) ID.

Step 302, analysis center's engineering that the first tenant is corresponding according to the identified query of described first tenant, obtain at least one engineering that described first tenant is corresponding.

Exemplary, the interface Get/v3/projects that KeyStone can call according to the mark of each tenant in analysis center inquires about engineering corresponding to this tenant (projects), therefore corresponding according to identified query first tenant of the first tenant engineering, just can obtain at least one engineering that the first tenant is corresponding, can be that this at least one engineering generates engineering list.

Step 303, analysis center, according to the resource information being identified at the resource that each engineering uses in inquiry at least one engineering described under at least one available area described of at least one engineering described, obtain the resource information of at least one resource that described first tenant uses.

Exemplary, can the interface Get/v2/meters of Ceilometer (statistical module) call in analysis center? q.op=eq & q.value={value} & q.field={field} inquires about measure object, and this measure object is exactly the resource that uses of each engineering and resource information thereof.

Therefore according to mark (such as engineering ID) the calling interface Get/v2/meters of this at least one engineering? q.op=eq & q.value={value} & q.field={field} just can count the resource information of at least one resource that the first tenant uses, and a Resources list can be generated for the resource information of this at least one resource, this list can be stored in analytical database in case subsequent statistical time call.

Wherein, the resource information of each resource can comprise: the resource identification of this resource and resource type.Exemplary, resource type can be: example, mirror image, S3, EBS, ELB, and the one in flow.Wherein, if the resource type of a certain resource is example, then the resource identification of this resource is example ID, can be virtual machine specification title (VM SpecName), wherein VM represents virtual machine (VirtualMachine), Spec represents specification (Specification), if the resource type of a certain resource is mirror image, then the resource identification of this resource is mirror image ID, if the resource type of a certain resource is EBS, then the resource identification of this resource is volume (volume) ID or snapshot (Snapshot) ID, if the resource type of a certain resource is ELB, then the resource identification of this resource is bucket ELB title (Name), if the resource type of a certain resource is S3, then the resource identification of this resource is bucket ID.

Step 304, analysis center add up according to the use amount of the resource information of at least one resource described to each resource, obtain the resource using information of described first tenant.

Exemplary, is analysis center to the interface Get/v2/meters/{meter_name}/statistics of a certain resource transfer Ceilometer? period={value} & q.op=eq & q.value={value} & q.field={field} & groupby={value} carries out adding up the use amount that can obtain this resource, therefore each resource in the Resources list of this interface first tenant of recursive call is added up, just can obtain the use amount of each resource that the first tenant uses, the use amount of each resource the first tenant used can as the resource using information of the first tenant.

Wherein, for dissimilar resource, the tolerance of its resource use amount is also different, such as:

If the resource type of arbitrary resource is example, then adds up virtual machine corresponding to this resource according to the resource identification (VMSpecName) of this resource and use duration as the use amount of this resource.Wherein, when statistics virtual machine uses duration, using hour as linear module, duration calculating by a hour less than a hour can be used.

If the resource type of this arbitrary resource is mirror image, then use duration as the use amount of this resource virtual machine corresponding for example belonging to this resource according to the resource identification (mirror image ID) of this resource.It should be noted that, because mirror image is the child resource of example, so do not do independent statistics for the use amount of mirror image, the virtual machine that the example belonging to it is corresponding uses duration as the use amount of this mirror image.

If the resource type of this arbitrary resource is EBS, then adds up the usage space size of this resource according to the resource identification (volume ID or snapshot ID) of this resource and use duration as the use amount of this resource.Wherein, statistics duration can using hour as linear module, use duration calculating by a hour less than a hour, statistics usage space size can using GB as linear module, it should be noted that, due to the restriction of Openstack, possibly cannot inquire the use amount of each volume or snapshot, total EBS use amount of each engineering can only be inquired, now in the use amount only need adding up the EBS that each engineering uses.

If the resource type of this arbitrary resource is S3, then adds up the usage space size of this resource according to the resource identification (bucket ID) of this resource and use duration as the use amount of this resource.Wherein, statistics duration can using hour as linear module, and use duration calculating by a hour less than a hour, statistics usage space size can using GB (GB) as linear module.It should be noted that, when adding up the use amount of S3, only needing to record this S3 and belonging to which subregion, not needing to record this S3 and belong to which available area.

If the resource type of described arbitrary resource is ELB, then add up the use amount of use duration as this resource of this arbitrary resource according to the resource identification (ELB title) of this resource.Same, statistics duration using hour as linear module, can use duration calculating by a hour less than a hour.

If the resource type of this arbitrary resource is flow, then using the use amount of flow value as this resource of adding up this resource according to the resource identification of this resource corresponding for this resource.Wherein, flow value can be per hour for linear module with GB/.

This completes the statistics of the resource using information to the first tenant, for the resource using information of other tenants, statistical method is identical with the first tenant, just can obtain the resource using information of all tenants by repeatedly performing step 301 ~ step 304.

Step 305, analysis center generate resource Using statistics summary table according to the resource using information of all tenants.

Concrete, the resource using information of all tenants carries out gathering and just can obtain resource Using statistics summary table by analysis center, this resource Using statistics summary table can be called that t_resource_meter shows, and records the use amount of each resource that each tenant uses in this table.

In this resource Using statistics summary table, the corresponding entry of each resource, tenant identification can be comprised in the entry that arbitrary resource is corresponding, resource type, resource identification, resource use amount, query time stabs, wherein, tenant identification is the mark of the tenant using this arbitrary resource, resource type is the resource type of this arbitrary resource, described resource identification is the resource identification of this arbitrary resource, described resource use amount is the use amount that tenant corresponding to this tenant identification uses this arbitrary resource, query time stamp is the time point of this resource use amount of inquiry, wherein, in same inquiry batch, query time stamp in the entry that each resource is corresponding is identical.In addition, other information can also be comprised, such as, the subregion described in resource and available area.In addition, above-mentioned tenant identification can be tenant ID, also can be engineering ID, use amount can be subdivided into consumption and duration, wherein duration can be subdivided into and use duration (minute) and newly-increased hourage, this newly-increased hourage is used to using duration to carry out carry, for by use duration less than one hour by one hour statistics, can be follow-up expense and calculate foundation is provided.Exemplary, an entry of resource Using statistics summary table can be as shown in table 1:

Table 1

" VARCHAR " in table 1 represents variable length string, and " NUMERIC " represents numerical value, and " M " represents necessary (Must), the form of TIME_STAMP can be set to " YYYYDDMMHH:MM ", wherein, YYYYDDMM represents a year life, HH:MM to represent hour and minute.The TIME_STAMP obtaining all entries in this resource Using statistics summary table in an acquisition tasks is identical, reserved field refer to other possible resource types.In addition, about the use of newly-increased hourage, such as, first time gathers, USETIME=15 minute, NEW_ADDED_HOUR=1, and charging calculated according to 1 hour; Second time gathers, USETIME=30, NEW_ADDED_HOUR=0 because 15 minutes time, according to 1 hourly, thus 30 minutes time can not repeat charging, until when USETIME=75, NEW_ADDED_HOUR=1, the like.

In addition, schedule backup can be carried out to resource Using statistics summary table, such as can monthly back up, the concrete beginning of each month can preserve as history lists after existing resource Using statistics summary table carries out rename, the resource Using statistics summary table that regeneration is up-to-date, such as suppose that current month is December, can by existing table called after t_resource_meter_201412, then again according to the data creation t_resource_meter of recent statistics.In addition, can also arrange, the holding time of this history lists, after exceeding this holding time, automatically delete this history lists.

Can be understood as, be the Dynamic Pricing of resource-based busy ratio, exemplary, price adjustment policy can pre-set, such as, can be shown below:

When resource utilization reaches more than 70%, price floats 10% at basic valency;

When resource utilization reaches more than 80%, price floats 20% at basic valency;

When resource utilization reaches more than 90%, no longer accept new service request;

When resource utilization is below 40%, price lowers 10% at basic valency;

When resource utilization is below 20%, price lowers 20% at basic valency;

When resource utilization is below 10%, freely use certain hour.

Its specific implementation comprises by following steps:

A, after the use amount of each resource obtaining each tenant according to preceding method, the same resource used each tenant is sued for peace and is obtained the use total amount of each resource, and obtains the total resources of each resource;

B, obtain the use amount of each resource, concrete can be obtained by formula K3=K2/K1*100%, and wherein K3 is the utilization rate of a certain resource, and K2 is the use total amount of this resource, and K1 is the total resources of this resource;

C, monitoring K3 value, the ladder pre-set with keeper threshold values thresholding of valuate compares, if when reaching this threshold values thresholding, then the pricing adjustments of triggering busy ratio ladder are machine-processed;

D, K3 reach threshold values, trigger busy ratio ladder pricing adjustments mechanism;

E, readjust prices according to K3, price-adjusting strategy can refer to aforementioned price adjustment policy;

F, amendment valuation rule, refresh tenant's rate.

In addition, also according to other according to carrying out price adjustment, such as: different prices can be set for different subregion, be used the resource of different subregion by price driven tenant, the efficiency that resources balance uses can be reached.

Or the ladder based on large data analysis is fixed a price:

Analysis center carries out large data analysis for the behavior of tenant and historical data, sets up KPI index, realizes the price modification of dynamic ladder according to KPI index.Such as, key KPI arranges as follows:

Cloud service duration KPI: that namely rents cloud service resource takies duration, such as virtual machine uses duration, Image (mirror image) duration;

Cloud service flow KPI: namely rent the concrete flow shared by cloud service, such as ELB service, uplink traffic and downlink traffic;

Cloud service space KPI: namely rent cloud service the actual space used, such as S3/EBS stores service, specifically uses the space (GB) stored.

Wherein, the acquisition methods of each above-mentioned KPI, as shown in the present embodiment step 301 ~ 305, repeats no more.

Further, can also be combined by one or more KPI, realize ladder price modification.

Such as:

Use cloud service duration KPI (can be of that month), charging center obtains this cloud service duration KPI and carries out ladder price, such as:

Cloud service duration KPI>720 hour, resource price lowers 10% at basic valency;

Cloud service duration KPI>1440 hour, resource price lowers 20% at basic valency;

Cloud service duration KPI>2880 hour, resource price lowers 30% at basic valency.

Again such as:

Use cloud service flow KPI (can be of that month), charging center obtains this cloud service flow KPI and carries out ladder price, such as:

Cloud service flow KPI>100GB, resource price lowers 10% at basic valency;

Cloud service flow KPI>200GB, resource price lowers 20% at basic valency;

Cloud service flow KPI>500GB, resource price lowers 30% at basic valency.

Again such as:

Use cloud service space KPI (can be of that month), charging center obtains this cloud service space KPI and carries out ladder price, such as:

Cloud service space KPI>100GB, resource price lowers 10% at basic valency;

Cloud service space KPI>200GB, resource price lowers 20% at basic valency;

Cloud service space KPI>500GB, resource price lowers 30% at basic valency.

Further, mixed water price can also be carried out.

Multiple cloud service is combined and fixes a price, such as elastic cloud is calculated (English: ElasticCompute Cloud, be called for short: EC2) service and mirroring service combine, form a comprehensive example service, for tenant, only see the expense that example is served, more convenient user uses.

Or the KPI mixing ladder according to multiple cloud service is fixed a price, and such as, when resource utilization is below 40%, and tenant uses the duration KPI>720 hour of cloud service, then downward 20% (10%+10%) of fixing a price.

Above several pricing strategies are only exemplary, include but not limited to this, can also adopt other possible pricing strategies, not enumerate at this.
