Benefits of technology

The present patent describes a system for updating policies for virtual machines in a datacenter environment. A central control node calculates and pushes down policies to local nodes, which then use those policies to manage their virtual machines. The local nodes also monitor resource usage and request more templates and resources from the central control node. The technical effect is that this system provides a flexible and efficient way to manage and update policies for virtual machines in a datacenter environment.

Problems solved by technology

Managing change in a datacenter has always been difficult.
This flexibility and multi-tenant isolation will add complex management overhead and ultimately, scalability.

example clauses

[0068]Example A, a system comprising: a local controller configured to: monitor resource utilization of the system; receive a policy template that includes one or more configurable network policy elements from a central controller; calculate a network virtualization policy for at least one virtualized computing resource implemented within one or more nodes associated with the local controller, the network virtualization policy being based at least on the received policy template and the monitored resource utilization and the network virtualization policy configuring network connectivity for the at least one virtualized computing resource; and distribute the network virtualization policy to one or more network infrastructure elements and / or to the one or more nodes; and a local store configured to store the monitored resource utilization, the policy template, and the calculated network virtualization policy.

[0069]Example B, the system of Example A, wherein the local controller is fur...

Abstract

Template-driven locally calculated policy updates for virtualized machines in a datacenter environment are described. A central control and monitoring node calculates and pushes down policy templates to local control and monitoring nodes. The templates provide boundaries and / or a pool of networking resources, from which the local control and monitoring node is enabled to calculate policy updates for locally instantiated virtual machines and containers.

Description

RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application claims priority to U.S. provisional application No. 62 / 267,664, filed Dec. 15, 2015, and entitled “Scalable Tenant Networks”, the entirety of which is hereby incorporated by reference into this application.BACKGROUND[0002]Managing change in a datacenter has always been difficult. In the early days, people had to manually connect cables and update configuration files. Automation technologies and techniques such as Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP), dynamic Domain Name System (DNS) registrations, Virtual Local Area Networks (VLANs), and switch management scripts lightened the load. Datacenters have experienced massive growth. To enable more flexibility, a new generation of technologies and techniques have been created such as network virtualization and network functions virtualization (NFV). These create flexibility to manage this new hyperscale datacenter. Recently, another variable has been added to the equation: containers and nes...
