Estimating the term…
Methods, systems and non-transitory computer readable media for handling IP network addresses in a virtualization system. Embodiments are configured to receive, from a cloud provider, a cloud provider media access control address to assign to a network interface of a computing node. Also received from the cloud provider is a cloud provider's IP address associated with the cloud provider's media access control address. A virtual machine on the computing node is configured such that the cloud provider's IP address serves as an IP address of the virtual machine and such that a virtualization system media access control address serves as a MAC address of the virtual machine. The virtualization system correlates the cloud provider's media access control address to the IP address of the virtual machine. In some cases, the cloud provider's media access control address stored in a virtual switch of a hypervisor.
A non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon a sequence of instructions which, when stored in memory and executed by a processor in a virtualization system, cause the processor to perform acts, the acts comprising:
