  • Publication number: 20210218664
    Abstract: Metadata indicating that a virtual traffic hub enabling connectivity between a plurality of isolated networks has been established is stored. A determination is made that a first entry of a first isolated network attached to the hub is to be represented in a second routing table of a second isolated network attached to the hub, e.g., to enable network packets originating at resources of the second isolated network to be transmitted via the hub to the first isolated network. A new entry corresponding to the first entry is included in the second routing table.

  • Publication number: 20210168056
    Abstract: This disclosure describes techniques for configuring and managing scalable global private networks associated with a service provider. Different input mechanisms, such as an API, a UI, or a CLI may be utilized to configure, and manage a global private network that spans across the cloud in different geographic locations and connects to different stand-alone networks. The user may proactively use the input mechanisms to configure and query different network resources to reactively configure settings for reacting to one or more events. The input mechanisms may also be utilized to define the network resources to be modeled within the global private network as well as connections within the global network. A user may configure events/metrics to be monitored, tasks/workflows to be performed, and the like. In some configurations, a network management service (NMS) may perform health monitoring and reachability monitoring to identify possible issues in the global network.

  • Publication number: 20210058364
    Abstract: Connectivity is enabled between a first and second isolated network using a virtual traffic hub that includes a decision master node responsible for determining a routing action for a packet received at the hub. At the hub, a determination is made that a particular domain name system (DNS) message being directed to a first resource in the first isolated network is to include an indication of a second resource in the second isolated network. The second resource is assigned a network address within a private address range of the second isolated network, which overlaps with a private address range being used in the first isolated network. The hub causes a transformed version of the network address to be included in the DNS message delivered to the first resource.

  • Publication number: 20210044512
    Abstract: Network pathways are identified to transfer packets between a pair of regional virtual traffic hubs of a provider network. At a first hub of the pair, a first action is performed, resulting in a transmission of a packet received from a first isolated network to the second hub along a pathway selected using dynamic routing parameters. At the second hub, a second action is performed, resulting in the transmission of the packet to a destination within a second isolated network.

  • Patent number: 10797989
    Abstract: Metadata indicating that an action implementation node and a routing decision master node have been assigned to a virtual traffic hub programmatically associated with one or more isolated networks is stored. The routing decision master node determines a first action to be implemented for packets of a network flow using state information of the isolated networks, and provides a representation of a first action to the first action implementation node. Based on performing the first action at the action implementation node, contents of a data packet received from one isolated network are transmitted to another isolated network.

  • Patent number: 10785146
    Abstract: An isolated packet processing cell of a packet processing service, comprising an action implementation node and a decision master node, is assigned to an application. An indication of processing rules of the application is transmitted to the decision master node. In response to receiving a particular packet, the action implementation node obtains a representation of an action (which is based on the processing rules) from the decision master node and executes the action.

  • Patent number: 10742446
    Abstract: Configuration operations to enable connectivity, using a virtual traffic hub, between a plurality of isolated networks including a first isolated network with a first private address range, are initiated. The hub includes a plurality of nodes including a decision master node responsible for determining routing actions for packets received at the hub. At the decision master node, a translation mapping is obtained for a second private address range of a second isolated network, which overlaps with the first private address range. At a particular node of the hub, using the mapping, a header of a network packet received from the second isolated network and directed to a destination outside the second isolated network is modified.

  • Patent number: 10742554
    Abstract: At an action implementation layer of a virtual traffic hub, a packet is obtained from a first isolated network. A first action, generated at a decision making layer of the hub based on a first route table of the hub, is performed, resulting in transmission of at least one network packet to a first destination. In response to a second packet, obtained at the action implementation layer from a source outside the first isolated network, a second action is performed, resulting in transmission of at least one packet to a second destination. The second action is generated based on a second route table of the hub.
