Provisioning an orchestration platform is provided. A pre-application programming interface (API) server hook is used to preprocess a request to generate a custom resource in the orchestration platform. The pre-API server hook generates a custom resource definition corresponding to the custom resource and generates the custom resource based on the custom resource definition. A custom resource definition generation event is monitored for, using a custom resource definition (CRD) meta-controller, to manage a custom resource definition controller corresponding to the custom resource definition. The CRD meta-controller retrieves the custom resource definition controller from a CRD controller configuration repository to deploy the custom resource definition controller on a worker node in the orchestration platform. Data is distributed, using a data partition proxy, to the custom resource definition controller running the custom resource on the worker node to ensure that no overlapping of data processing tasks exists in the orchestration platform.

A data processing method and system, where the method includes: receiving, by a non-volatile memory express (NVMe) controller, a first Peripheral Component Interconnect express (PCIe) packet sent by a host, where a memory in the NVMe controller is provided with at least one input/output (I/O) submission queue, and the first PCIe packet includes entrance information of a target I/O submission queue and at least one submission queue entry (SQE); and storing the at least one SQE in the target I/O submission queue based on the entrance information of the target I/O submission queue. Therefore, an NVMe data processing process is simplified and less time-consuming, and data processing efficiency is improved.

A bus arbitration circuit includes a first bus port, a second bus port, a first output circuit connected to the first bus port, a second output circuit connected to the second bus port, a control circuit, and a switch circuit. The control circuit includes a first input port, a second input port, a control signal output port, and an output port. The first input port receives data of the first bus port, the second input port receives data of the second bus port, and data is outputted from the output port to an input port of the first output circuit. The switch circuit has an input port connected to the first bus port, a control port connected to the control signal output port of the control circuit, and an output port from which data of a host bus is outputted to an input port of the second output circuit.
