  • Patent number: 11140224
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems, methods, and computer readable media for moving storage volumes between virtual networks. For example, systems disclosed herein may manage mapping data including mappings between virtual networks and storage volumes. In particular, the systems disclosed herein may maintain mappings between virtual network identifiers (e.g., IP addresses) and globally unique identifiers (GUIDs) associated with respective storage volumes. A control plane may move storage volumes between virtual boundaries by modifying mapping entries based on a received request to move storage volume(s). By maintaining and modifying mapping data in this way, systems disclosed herein facilitate access to a storage device between different virtual networks without performing a computationally expensive and time-consuming process of physically moving data between storage volumes on a cloud computing system.
