Systems and methods for detecting conflicts in internet services

The technology disclosed relates to detection and resolution of conflicts between requested internet services and package of internet services associated with a domain. The method disclosed includes receiving a request from a client to add a requested internet service to a package of internet services. The method includes searching a domain name system (DNS) database for DNS records or a DNS server for external domains having attribute fields indicating attributes of the internet services in the package of internet services. The method includes comparing attributes of the requested internet service to attribute fields for the internet services in the package of internet services using a set of conflict definitions to identify attributes of the internet service requested conflicting with attributes of the package of internet services. When conflicting attributes are identified, the method includes invoking a resolution process to resolve the conflict.

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.

CONNECTING VIRTUAL COMPUTER NETWORKS WITH OVERLAPPING IP ADDRESSES USING TRANSIT VIRTUAL COMPUTER NETWORK
20220045879 · 2022-02-10 ·

A system and method for connecting virtual computer networks in a public cloud computing environment using a transit virtual computer network uses a cloud gateway device in the transit virtual computer network that includes a first-tier logical router and a plurality of second-tier logical routers connected to the virtual computer networks. A source Internet Protocol (IP) address of outgoing data packets from a particular virtual computer network is translated at a particular second-tier logical router of the cloud gateway device from an IP address of the particular virtual computer network to an internal IP address from a particular pool of IP addresses. The outgoing data packets are then routed to the first-tier logical router of the cloud gateway device, where the outgoing data packets are transmitted a destination network from a particular interface of the first-tier logical router of the cloud gateway device.

EXECUTING WORKLOADS ACROSS MULTIPLE CLOUD SERVICE PROVIDERS

A multi-cloud service system establishes tunnels and network overlays across multiple CSPs while meeting a criterion for a latency threshold. The system conducts a latency benchmarking evaluation across each cloud region for multiple CSPs and based on the latency bench marking evaluation results, the system may identify a group of cloud regions that satisfy a criterion such as predetermined maximum latency threshold or geographical restriction. The system may provision the group of cloud regions by provisioning a tunnel between nodes of the multiple CSPs. The system further establishes an overlay network on top of the tunnel by encapsulating packets using encapsulation end point such as VTEP (VXLAN tunnel end point) over VXLAN (Virtual Extension Local Area Network), which may help to ensure reliable transmission of packets from pod to pod. The system may inject user data into each node to initiate operations across the provisioned nodes using injected user data.
