  • Multi-tenant network virtualization infrastructure
    Patent number: 11343283
    Abstract: Some embodiments provide a method for a network management and control system that manages a virtual infrastructure deployed across a set of datacenters. Based on input from a top-level user of the virtual infrastructure, the method deploys a first logical network within the virtual infrastructure and defines one or more second-level users of the virtual infrastructure. The method receives input from a second-level user of the virtual infrastructure to define a second logical network and connect the second logical network to the first logical network. The first and second logical networks use a same data model and the second-level users are restricted from viewing configuration of the first logical network.

  • DEFINING LOGICAL NETWORKS FOR DEPLOYING APPLICATIONS
    Publication number: 20220103430
    Abstract: Some embodiments provide a method for a network management and control system that manages a virtual infrastructure deployed across a set of datacenters. The method receives a definition of an application to be deployed in the virtual infrastructure. The application definition specifies (i) a set of tiers of the application and (ii) a set of requirements for deploying the application. Based on the application definition, the method automatically defines a logical network architecture for connecting data compute nodes (DCNs) that implement the application tiers in the set of datacenters. The method configures a set of forwarding elements in the set of datacenters to implement the logical network architecture.
