Abstract
The present technology pertains to receiving a tag associating at least one routing domain in an on-premises site with at least one virtual network in a cloud environment associated with a cloud service provider. The present technology also pertains to the automation of populating route and propagation tables with the cloud service provider.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- receiving a tag associating at least one routing domain in an on-premises site with at least one virtual network in a cloud environment associated with a cloud service provider (CSP);
- configuring a virtual cross connect (VXC) on a software-defined wide-area network (SDWAN) router associated with a software-defined cloud infrastructure (SDCI) provider, the VXC connecting the on-premises site to the cloud environment associated with the CSP;
- assigning border gateway protocol (BGP) parameters to the VXC;
- configuring BGP peering on a connectivity gateway in the cloud environment associated with the CSP;
- connecting the connectivity gateway to the at least one virtual network in the cloud environment;
- tagging the at least one virtual network with the tag;
- and
- configuring a connection between the at least one routing domain in the on-premises site and the at least one virtual network in the cloud environment, wherein the connection is based at least in part on the tag.
5 more elements
A system comprising:
- one or more processors;
- and
- at least one computer-readable storage medium storing instructions which, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:
- receive a tag associating at least one routing domain in an on-premises site with at least one virtual network in a cloud environment associated with a cloud service provider (CSP);
- configure a virtual cross connect (VXC) on a software-defined wide-area network (SDWAN) router associated with a software-defined cloud infrastructure (SDCI) provider, the VXC connecting the on-premises site to the cloud environment associated with the CSP;
- assign border gateway protocol (BGP) parameters to the VXC;
- configure BGP peering on a connectivity gateway in the cloud environment associated with the CSP;
- connect the connectivity gateway to the at least one virtual network in the cloud environment;
- tag the at least one virtual network with the tag;
- and
- configure a connection between the at least one routing domain in the on-premises site and the at least one virtual network in the cloud environment, wherein the connection is based at least in part on the tag.
8 more elements
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having stored therein instructions which, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to:
- receive a tag associating at least one routing domain in an on-premises site with at least one virtual network in a cloud environment associated with a cloud service provider (CSP);
- configure a virtual cross connect (VXC) on a software-defined wide-area network (SDWAN) router associated with a software-defined cloud infrastructure (SDCI) provider, the VXC connecting the on-premises site to the cloud environment associated with the CSP;
- assign border gateway protocol (BGP) parameters to the VXC;
- configure BGP peering on a connectivity gateway in the cloud environment associated with the CSP;
- connect the connectivity gateway to the at least one virtual network in the cloud environment;
- tag the at least one virtual network with the tag;
- and
- configure a connection between the at least one routing domain in the on-premises site and the at least one virtual network in the cloud environment, wherein the connection is based at least in part on the tag.
