Virtual network inter-container communication

A host computing device comprising:

• at least one processor operably coupled to a memory;
• a kernel configured for execution by the at least one processor;
• and
• a container configured for execution by the kernel, wherein the container comprises a network module configured to output container registration data to a cloud exchange via an application programming interface exposed by an interconnection platform of the cloud exchange, the container registration data comprising a network address for the host computing device that executes the container and a container identifier for the container.

A cloud exchange comprising:

• at least one computing device comprising processing circuitry;
• at least one memory operably coupled to the processing circuitry;
• a network;
• and
• an interconnection platform configured for execution by the processing circuitry to configure the network to interconnect a plurality of private networks,
• wherein the cloud exchange is configured for execution by the processing circuitry to receive, from a container executing at a private network of the plurality of private networks and via the interconnection platform, container registration data for the container, the container registration data comprising a network address for a host computing device that executes the container and a container identifier for the container, and
• wherein the cloud exchange is configured for execution by the processing circuitry to store the container registration data in the memory.
