US 2025/0097138 A1 · CONNECTIVITY SERVICE PROVISIONING FOR A SOFTWARE-DEFINED DATA CENTER (SDDC) GROUP

Abstract

Example methods and systems for connectivity service provisioning for a software-defined data center (SDDC) group are described. In one example, a computer system may detect an event that affects a first connectivity service connecting multiple members of the SDDC group. The computer system may obtain first routing information that is applicable in a first SDDC; and second routing information that is applicable in a second SDDC. In response to the event, the computer system may generate and send a first instruction towards the first SDDC and a second instruction towards the second SDDC to cause: (a) the first SDDC and second SDDC to establish a second connectivity service; (b) the first SDDC to update the first routing information to associate a first flow with the second connectivity service; and (c) the second SDDC to update the second routing information to associate a second flow with the second connectivity service.

Dependent claims

A computer system to perform connectivity service provisioning for a software-defined data center (SDDC) group in a software-defined networking (SDN) environment that includes the computer system, a first SDDC and a second SDDC, comprising:

a processor;
and
a non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored thereon instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform the following:
detect an event that affects a first connectivity service connecting multiple members of an SDDC group, wherein the multiple members include the first SDDC and the second SDDC;
obtain, from the first SDDC, first routing information that is applicable in the first SDDC and that associates the first connectivity service with a first flow from the first SDDC to the second SDDC;
obtain, from the second SDDC, second routing information that is applicable in the second SDDC and that associates the first connectivity service with a second flow from the second SDDC to the first SDDC;
and
in response to the event, generate and send a first instruction towards the first SDDC and a second instruction towards the second SDDC to cause:
(a) the first SDDC and the second SDDC to establish a second connectivity service;
(b) the first SDDC to update the first routing information to associate the first flow with the second connectivity service;
and
(c) the second SDDC to update the second routing information to associate the second flow with the second connectivity service.
