Abstract: 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.

Abstract: Some embodiments of the invention provide a method for WAN (wide area network) optimization for a WAN that connects multiple sites, each of which has at least one router. At a gateway router deployed to a public cloud, the method receives from at least two routers at least two sites, multiple data streams destined for a particular centralized datacenter. The method performs a WAN optimization operation to aggregate the multiple streams into one outbound stream that is WAN optimized for forwarding to the particular centralized datacenter. The method then forwards the WAN-optimized data stream to the particular centralized datacenter.

Abstract: Some embodiments provide a method for providing a resource to a particular virtual private cloud that is deployed in a set of datacenters that host multiple virtual private clouds. At a resource issuer, the method receives a resource request from a particular machine deployed in the particular virtual private cloud, the resource request including a first set of cloud-specific data. The method obtains a cloud identifier for the particular machine from a registry service of the particular virtual private cloud that interacts with a datacenter-set cloud service that deploys machines in the datacenter set for different virtual private clouds. The method uses the obtained cloud identifier to obtain a second set of cloud-specific data for the particular machine from the datacenter-set cloud service. Upon determining that the first and second sets of cloud-specific data match, the method authenticates the particular machine and issues the resource for the particular machine.

Abstract: Some embodiments establish for an entity a virtual network over several public clouds of several public cloud providers and/or in several regions. In some embodiments, the virtual network is an overlay network that spans across several public clouds to interconnect one or more private networks (e.g., networks within branches, divisions, departments of the entity or their associated datacenters), mobile users, and SaaS (Software as a Service) provider machines, and other web applications of the entity. The virtual network in some embodiments can be configured to optimize the routing of the entity's data messages to their destinations for best end-to-end performance, reliability and security, while trying to minimize the routing of this traffic through the Internet. Also, the virtual network in some embodiments can be configured to optimize the layer 4 processing of the data message flows passing through the network.
