Abstract: Techniques for configuring a network based on a Domain Name System (DNS) or network metadata policy for network control are disclosed. In some embodiments, a system, process, and/or computer program product for a DNS or network metadata policy for network control includes receiving a DNS or network metadata update at a DNS server (e.g., an authoritative or recursive DNS server) or an IP Address Management (IPAM) server, in which the DNS or network metadata update is determined to be relevant to the DNS or network metadata policy for network control; and sending the DNS or network metadata update to a network controller for a network, in which the network controller configures a plurality of network devices on the network based on the DNS or network metadata policy for network control.

Abstract: Techniques for cloud network automation for IP address and DNS record management are disclosed. In some embodiments, a system, process, and/or computer program product for cloud network automation for IP address and DNS record management includes receiving at a cloud platform appliance (e.g., a virtual or physical IP address and/or DNS management appliance) a cloud request related to a resource (e.g., a virtual or physical resource) in a cloud environment from a global cloud manager; and processing the cloud request at the cloud platform appliance to determine whether to proxy the cloud request to another cloud platform appliance or a grid master or to locally process the cloud request, wherein a storage of infrastructure metadata information for IP address and/or DNS record management is updated based on the cloud request.

Abstract: Techniques for providing an API gateway for network policy and configuration management with public cloud are disclosed. In some embodiments, a system, process, and/or computer program product for an API gateway for network policy and configuration management with public cloud includes receiving a native or extended public cloud application programming interface (API) request at the API gateway; processing the public cloud API request; extracting data from the request for use in other API calls; and, in some cases, translating the public cloud API request into a native public cloud API request with or without adding parameters or properties to and/or substituting new values for parameters in the public cloud API request (e.g., in some cases modifying the public cloud API request can include inserting additional parameters/properties, such as instance IP address that was not present in the initial API request); and sending the native public cloud API request to the public cloud environment.
