Abstract
In one example, a cloud-based services exchange comprises a plurality of interconnection assets configured to connect a customer of the cloud-based services exchange to one or more cloud service providers, the plurality of interconnection assets including a virtual circuit by which the customer accesses a cloud service from the one or more cloud service providers; and an orchestration engine configured to modify the plurality of interconnection assets.
Claims20
A system comprising:
- one or more network devices;
- and
- one or more computing devices configured to execute an interconnection platform, the interconnection platform configured to:
- implement an interface configured to receive a request for network connectivity between a first network and a second network, wherein the second network is associated with a cloud service provider that provides a cloud service;
- based on the request:
- determine that a port for the first network is valid for the request;
- and
- configure, based on the request and the determination that the port for the first network is valid for the request, the one or more network devices with a virtual private network (VPN) that provides the network connectivity between the first network and the second network.
One or more non-transitory computer-readable media comprising instructions that, when executed by processing circuitry, cause the processing circuitry to:
- implement an interface configured to receive a request for network connectivity between a first network and a second network, wherein the second network is associated with a cloud service provider that provides a cloud service;
- based on the request:
- determine that a port for the first network is valid for the request;
- and
- configure, based on the request and the determination that the port for the first network is valid for the request, one or more network devices with a virtual private network (VPN) that provides the network connectivity between the first network and the second network.
A method comprising:
- implementing, by an interconnection platform executed by one or more computing devices, an interface configured to receive a request for network connectivity between a first network and a second network, wherein the second network is associated with a cloud service provider that provides a cloud service;
- based on the request:
- determining that a port for the first network is valid for the request;
- and
- configuring, based on the request and the determination that the port for the first network is valid for the request, one or more network devices with a virtual private network (VPN) that provides the network connectivity between the first network and the second network.
