Abstract: A cloud broker gateway interfaces with an enterprise network and one or more public cloud networks, including a first public cloud and a second public cloud. The cloud broker gateway receives a request for one or more computing resources from a tenant associated with the enterprise network, and directs the request to the first public cloud based on a brokerage policy for the tenant. The cloud broker gateway receives a response indicating the first public cloud cannot provide the one or more computing resources, and redirects the request to the second public cloud based on the brokerage policy for the tenant. The cloud broker gateway also establishes a hybrid cloud that provides access to the one or more computing resources between the second public cloud and the enterprise network.

Abstract: A sense of location is provided for distributed virtual switch components into the service provisioning scheme to reduce latency observed in conducting policy evaluations across a network in a hybrid cloud environment. A management application in a first virtual network subscribes to virtual network services provided by a first virtual service node in the first virtual network. A second virtual network receives the subscription to the virtual network services and starts a virtual switch that switches network traffic for one or more virtual machines in the second virtual network that are configured to extend services provided by the first virtual network into the second virtual network. The second virtual network starts a second virtual service node in the second virtual network that provides network traffic services for the one or more virtual machines.

Abstract: A sense of location is provided for distributed virtual switch components into the service provisioning scheme to reduce latency observed in conducting policy evaluations across a network in a hybrid cloud environment. A management application in a first virtual network subscribes to virtual network services provided by a first virtual service node in the first virtual network. A second virtual network receives the subscription to the virtual network services and starts a virtual switch that switches network traffic for one or more virtual machines in the second virtual network that are configured to extend services provided by the first virtual network into the second virtual network. The second virtual network starts a second virtual service node in the second virtual network that provides network traffic services for the one or more virtual machines.

Abstract: A method includes managing a virtual machine (VM) in a cloud extension, where the VM is part of a distributed virtual switch (DVS) of an enterprise network, abstracting an interface that is transparent to a cloud infrastructure of the cloud extension, and intercepting network traffic from the VM, where the VM can communicate securely with the enterprise network. The cloud extension comprises a nested VM container (NVC) that includes an emulator configured to enable abstracting the interface, and dual transmission control protocol/Internet Protocol stacks for supporting a first routing domain for communication with the cloud extension, and a second routing domain for communication with the enterprise network. The NVC may be agnostic with respect to operating systems running on the VM. The method further includes migrating the VM from the enterprise network to the cloud extension through suitable methods.
