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.
Claims21
A method comprising:
- receiving configuration information associating at least one network segment of an enterprise network site with at least one virtual network in a cloud environment associated with a cloud service provider (CSP);
- configuring a software-defined wide-area network (SDWAN) router associated with a software-defined cloud infrastructure (SDCI) provider with virtual cross connect data establishing a virtual cross connect, the virtual cross connect data connecting the enterprise network site to the cloud environment associated with the CSP;
- connecting a connectivity gateway in the cloud environment associated with the CSP to the at least one virtual network in the cloud environment;
- and
- configuring a connection between the at least one network segment of the enterprise network site and the at least one virtual network in the cloud environment through the connectivity gateway, wherein the connection is based at least in part on the configuration information.
2 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 perform operations, the operations comprising:
- receiving configuration information associating at least one network segment of an enterprise network site with at least one virtual network in a cloud environment associated with a cloud service provider (CSP);
- configuring a software-defined wide-area network (SDWAN) router associated with a software-defined cloud infrastructure (SDCI) provider with virtual cross connect data establishing a virtual cross connect, the virtual cross connect data connecting the enterprise network site to the cloud environment associated with the CSP;
- connecting a connectivity gateway in the cloud environment associated with the CSP to the at least one virtual network in the cloud environment;
- and
- configuring a connection between the at least one network segment of the enterprise network site and the at least one virtual network in the cloud environment through the connectivity gateway, wherein the connection is based at least in part on the configuration information.
5 more elements
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having stored therein instructions which, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations, the operations comprising:
- receiving configuration information associating at least one network segment of an enterprise network site with at least one virtual network in a cloud environment associated with a cloud service provider (CSP);
- configuring a software-defined wide-area network (SDWAN) router associated with a software-defined cloud infrastructure (SDCI) provider with virtual cross connect data establishing a virtual cross connect, the virtual cross connect data connecting the enterprise network site to the cloud environment associated with the CSP;
- connecting a connectivity gateway in the cloud environment associated with the CSP to the at least one virtual network in the cloud environment;
- and
- configuring a connection between the at least one network segment of the enterprise network site and the at least one virtual network in the cloud environment through the connectivity gateway, wherein the connection is based at least in part on the configuration information.
