Abstract
Described herein are systems and methods that can support bridging VCNs in a manner which addresses customer needs with respect to access mechanisms, connectivity, regional availability, service complexity, and customer isolation/security. The system and methods that can support bridging VCNs as described herein have particular utility with respect to providing etcd-as-a-Service. In particular embodiments virtual network interface (VNIC) features are used to implement a bridge between a subnet of an etcd VCN and a subnet of a customer VCN in order to bridge the subnets.
Claims20
A system for supporting virtual cloud networking, the system comprising:
- a customer virtual cloud network (VCN) comprising a customer subnet;
- a service provider VCN comprising a service provider subnet;
- and
- a VCN bridge which enables a client in the customer subnet of the customer VCN to access a server providing a service in the service provider subnet of the service provider VCN.
A method for supporting virtual cloud networking, the method comprising:
- providing a customer virtual cloud network (VCN) comprising a customer subnet;
- providing a managed service using a service provider VCN which comprises a service provider subnet;
- and
- providing a VCN bridge which enables a client in the customer subnet of the customer VCN to access a server providing a service in the service provider subnet of the service provider VCN.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium including instructions stored thereon for supporting virtual cloud networking, which instructions, when executed, cause a virtual cloud networking environment to perform steps comprising:
- providing a customer virtual cloud network (VCN) comprising a customer subnet;
- providing a managed service using a service provider VCN which comprises a service provider subnet;
- and
- providing a VCN bridge which enables a client in the customer subnet of the customer VCN to access a server providing a service in the service provider subnet of the service provider VCN.
