PROVIDING RECOMMENDATIONS FOR IMPLEMENTING VIRTUAL NETWORKS
Some embodiments provide a novel method for deploying different virtual networks over several public cloud datacenters for different entities. For each entity, the method (1) identifies a set of public cloud datacenters of one or more public cloud providers to connect a set of machines of the entity, (2) deploys managed forwarding nodes (MFNs) for the entity in the identified set of public cloud datacenters, and then (3) configures the MFNs to implement a virtual network that connects the entity's set of machines across its identified set of public cloud datacenters. In some embodiments, the method identifies the set of public cloud datacenters for an entity by receiving input from the entity's network administrator. In some embodiments, this input specifies the public cloud providers to use and/or the public cloud regions in which the virtual network should be defined. Conjunctively, or alternatively, this input in some embodiments specifies actual public cloud datacenters to use.
SHARED MEMORY
Examples described herein includes a network interface controller comprising a memory interface and a network interface, the network interface controller configurable to provide access to local memory and remote memory to a requester, wherein the network interface controller is configured with an amount of memory of different memory access speeds for allocation to one or more requesters. In some examples, the network interface controller is to grant or deny a memory allocation request from a requester based on a configuration of an amount of memory for different memory access speeds for allocation to the requester. In some examples, the network interface controller is to grant or deny a memory access request from a requester based on a configuration of memory allocated to the requester. In some examples, the network interface controller is to regulate quality of service of memory access requests from requesters.
PAGE-BASED REMOTE MEMORY ACCESS USING SYSTEM MEMORY INTERFACE NETWORK DEVICE
Examples described herein and includes at least one processor and a direct memory access (DMA) device. In some examples, the DMA device is to: access a command from a memory region allocated to receive commands for execution by the DMA device, wherein the command is to access content from a local memory device or remote memory node. In some examples, the DMA device is to: determine if the content is stored in a local memory device or a remote memory node based on a configuration that indicates whether a source address refers to a memory address associated with the local memory device or the remote memory node and whether a destination address refers to a memory address associated with the local memory device or the remote memory node. In some examples, the DMA device is to: copy the content from a local memory device or copy the content to the local memory device using a memory interface.
PACKET MULTI-CAST FOR MEMORY POOL REPLICATION
Examples described herein relate to a network interface. In some examples, the network interface is to access data designated for transmission in at least one packet to multiple memory nodes by inclusion of an multicast identifier of a memory node group and transmit the at least one packet to a destination network device, wherein the multicast identifier of the memory node group in the at least one packet is to cause an intermediate network device to multicast the packet to multiple memory nodes. In some examples, a memory node comprises a memory pool that includes one or more of: volatile memory, non-volatile memory, or persistent memory. In some examples, the intermediate network device comprises a switch configured to determine network addresses of memory nodes associated with the multicast identifier of the memory node group.
DEFINING DIFFERENT PUBLIC CLOUD VIRTUAL NETWORKS FOR DIFFERENT ENTITIES BASED ON DIFFERENT SETS OF MEASUREMENTS
Some embodiments provide a novel method for deploying different virtual networks over several public cloud datacenters for different entities. For each entity, the method (1) identifies a set of public cloud datacenters of one or more public cloud providers to connect a set of machines of the entity, (2) deploys managed forwarding nodes (MFNs) for the entity in the identified set of public cloud datacenters, and then (3) configures the MFNs to implement a virtual network that connects the entity's set of machines across its identified set of public cloud datacenters. In some embodiments, the method identifies the set of public cloud datacenters for an entity by receiving input from the entity's network administrator. In some embodiments, this input specifies the public cloud providers to use and/or the public cloud regions in which the virtual network should be defined. Conjunctively, or alternatively, this input in some embodiments specifies actual public cloud datacenters to use.
