Processes for managing computing processes within a plurality of data centers configured to provide a cloud computing environment are described. An exemplary process includes executing a process on a first host of a plurality of hosts. When the process is executing on the first host, a first network identifier associated with the plurality of hosts is not a network identifier of a pool of network identifiers associated with the cloud computing environment and first and second route tables respectively corresponding to first and second data centers of the plurality of data centers associate the first network identifier with the first host. The exemplary process further includes detecting an event associated with the process. In response to detecting the event associated with the process, the first and second route tables are respectively updated to associate the first network identifier with a second host of the plurality of hosts.

A processing device of a system may determine that a new service virtual machine (VM) image is available, the new service VM image comprising an update for a current service VM image. The system may identify a first instance of a first service VM that is presently running, wherein the first instance of the first service VM was created from the current service VM image and has a floating internet protocol (IP) address. The system may further create a second instance of the first service VM using the new service VM image, transfer active sessions of the first instance of the first service VM to the second instance of the first service VM, and reassign the floating IP address from the first instance of the first service VM to the second instance of the first service VM.

A network system includes a datacenter including a gateway router configured to route data transmissions of public network traffic to and from a plurality of VPCs hosted by the datacenter. A first VPC is configured to communicate with the gateway router. The first VPC is accessible and identifiable via a first public IP address. A second VPC is configured to communicate with the gateway router, and the second VPC is accessible and identifiable via a second public IP address. A direct connection transmits a particular data transmission based on the first public IP address and the second public IP address, directly between the first VPC and the second VPC so as to bypass the gateway router. The first public IP address and the second public IP address are assigned from among a group of public IP addresses allocated for assignment to VPCs hosted by the datacenter.

A communication control apparatus, a communication system, a communication control method, and a non-transitory recording medium. The communication control apparatus stores in one or more memories, identification information for identifying a registered device, sends a packet to a network to search for a device connected to the network, acquires address information assigned to the device connected to the network and identification information of the device connected to the network from the device that responded to the packet, and controls communication of the registered device using connection information that associates the identification information stored in the one or more memories with the address information of the device having the acquired identification information that matches the identification information stored in the one or more memories.

Systems and methods can include one or more processing modules and one or more non-transitory storage modules storing computing instructions configured to run on the one or more processing modules and perform acts. The acts an include creating a bonded network interface on a host server, the where host server can include a plurality of internet protocol (IP) addresses. The acts also can include binding a first database instance container to a first IP address of the plurality of IP addresses of the host server such that a first database deployed inside the first database instance container has direct access to the host server. Systems and methods also can include deploying a first database instance container of a first cluster at a first host server and deploying a second database instance container of a second cluster at the first host server. Other embodiments also are disclosed herein.

In one embodiment, an apparatus includes one or more processors and one or more computer-readable non-transitory storage media coupled to the one or more processors. The one or more computer-readable non-transitory storage media include instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the apparatus to perform operations including receiving a user credential from a remote access client within a network and communicating the user credential to an authentication, authorization and accounting (AAA) server within the network. The operations also include receiving a user attribute from the AAA server and generating a contextual label based on the user attribute. The contextual label includes routing instructions associated with traffic behavior within the network. The operations further include advertising a control message, which includes the contextual label, to the remote access client.

A system comprising a plurality of peer caches associated with a corresponding plurality of content owners; shared ledger logic having a channel for each content owner of a plurality of content owners, the shared ledger logic to maintain a shared ledger data structure and to perform the operations of: in response to receipt of a first content title, responsively recording a first ledger entry for the first content title which is visible to a first content owner which owns the first content title; receiving an encryption key from the content owner, wherein the first content title comprises an encrypted content title encrypted with the key; storing the encrypted content title on one or more network storage devices; and when the encrypted content title reaches an edge cache, using the key to decrypt the encrypted content title and updating the first ledger entry to identify the edge cache.

A centralized namespace controller allocates addresses in a distributed cloud infrastructure on-demand. Upon receiving a request to allocate addresses for a network to be provisioned by a cloud computing system included in the distributed cloud infrastructure, the centralized namespace controller allocates a network address that is unique within the distributed cloud infrastructure. Further, the centralized namespace controller allocates a range of virtual network interface cards (NIC) addresses that are unique within the network. The centralized namespace controller then allocates addresses from the range of virtual NIC addresses on an as-requested basis—when a virtual NIC is being created by the first cloud computing system on the network. Advantageously, by centralizing the allocation of addresses and dedicating independent NIC address ranges to different cloud computing systems, the centralized namespace controller enables stretched L2 networks between cloud computing systems while preventing duplicated addresses on the stretched networks.

An intermittent network connection between a source system and a destination system is established by establishing a first connection from a management resource to a first port of the destination system, causing a second port of the destination system to be enabled including by proving an instruction via the first connection to the first port of the destination system, establishing a second connection from the management resource to a first port of a source system, causing a second port of the source system to be enabled including by providing an instruction via the second connection to the first port of the source system, registering the destination system with the source system, and causing a third connection to be established between the second port of the source system and the second port of the destination system for transferring data from the source system to the destination system. In response to a determination that a communication session of the third connection has been completed, the intermittent network connection between the source system and the destination system is terminated.
