Extensible network traffic engineering platform for increasing network resiliency in cloud applications

A system comprising:

• a web monitoring agent to:
• transmit pings from a web monitoring platform to a multihomed data center via a first internet service provider (ISP) of the multihomed data center;
• determine, based at least in part on the pings, that a number of state changes corresponding to the first ISP is greater than a threshold number of state changes over a predetermined period of time;
• and
• transmit first data representative of an alert indicating that the number of state changes is greater than the threshold number of state changes over the predetermined period of time;
• a network policy engine to:
• receive the first data;
• and
• determine, based at least on part on the alert, to switch away from the first ISP to a second ISP of the multihomed data center;
• a network configurator to:
• determine updated policies to cause the switch away from the first ISP to the second ISP;
• and
• transmit second data representative of the updated policies;
• and
• one or more core switches of the multihomed data center to:
• receive the second data;
• and
• update current policies to the updated policies based at least in part on the second data.

A method comprising:

• determining, using a monitoring agent plugin and over a period of time, a first session yield for a first plurality of sessions of a streaming application over a first internet service provider (ISP) and a second session yield for a second plurality of sessions of the streaming application over a second ISP;
• determining, using the monitoring agent plugin, that the first session yield is below a threshold and that the second session yield is greater than the first session yield;
• determining, using a network policy plugin and based at least in part on the first session yield being below the threshold and the second session yield being greater than the first session yield, at least one of an updated border gateway protocol (BGP) import route map or an updated BGP export route map;
• and
• causing, using a network configurator plugin, a network switch to update internal policies based at least in part on at least one of the updated BGP import route map or the updated BGP export route map.
