Multi-customer (multi-tenants) support with hypervisor based bond implementation

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a plurality of instructions executable by one or more processors, the plurality of instructions when executed by the one or more processors cause the one or more processors to:

• create a network path bond between a plurality of compute instances and a plurality of Network Virtualization Devices (“NVD”), each of the plurality of NVDs comprising a Virtualized Network Interface Card (“VNIC”) for each of the compute instances, each of the VNICs having an overlay Internet Protocol (“IP”) address corresponding to an IP address of the compute instance associated with the VNIC, the network path bond comprising a plurality of network paths, wherein each of the plurality of network paths connects the each of the compute instances to associated VNIC of one of the plurality of NVDs;
• identify a monitoring bond coupling the plurality of NVDs to a monitoring agent;
• create a number of monitoring VNICs, each of the number of monitoring VNICs residing in one of the plurality of NVDs, wherein the NVDs are coupled to the monitoring agent via the monitoring VNICs;
• overlay an IP address to each of the monitoring VNICs, wherein each of the monitoring VNICs share a common IP address;
• determine with the monitoring agent a health of at least one of network paths via responsiveness of a virtual router on the NVD of each of the at least one network paths, the network paths comprising an active network path and an inactive network path;
• and
• activate the inactive network path when the active network path fails.

A system comprising:

• a plurality of Network Virtualization Devices (“NVD”);
• and
• a processor configured to:
• create a network path bond between a plurality of compute instances and a plurality of Network Virtualization Devices (“NVD”), each of the plurality of NVDs comprising a Virtualized Network Interface Card (“VNIC”) for each of the compute instances, each of the VNICs having an overlay Internet Protocol (“IP”) address corresponding to an IP address of the compute instance associated with the VNIC, the network path bond comprising a plurality of network paths, wherein each of the plurality of network paths connects the each of the compute instances to associated VNIC of one of the plurality of NVDs;
• identify a monitoring bond coupling the plurality of NVDs to a monitoring agent;
• create a number of monitoring VNICs, each of the number of monitoring VNICs residing in one of the plurality of NVDs, wherein the NVDs are coupled to the monitoring agent via the monitoring VNICs;
• overlay an IP address to each of the monitoring VNICs, wherein each of the monitoring VNICs share a common Internet Protocol (“IP”) address;
• determine with the monitoring agent a health of at least one of network paths via responsiveness of a virtual router on the NVD of each of the at least one network paths, the network paths comprising an active network path and an inactive network path;
• and
• activate the inactive network path when the active network path fails.
