Abstract: In one embodiment, a method comprises creating a hierarchal chain of network services in response to instantiation within a data center of a virtualized application providing an application service, the chain having a corresponding hierarchal proxy endpoint identifier for each network service in the chain; registering the chain of network services as a logical path for reaching the application service within the data center; and routing, within the data center, a web-based service request for the application service to the chain of network services for execution by the virtualized application.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a request is generated for a particular device of a computer network for a unique segment identifier (ID) for a network segment comprising one or more devices sharing a unique tenant ID. The request has a request-context that includes the tenant ID and a protocol of the network segment. The request is transmitted a segment ID manager and, as a result, the segment ID manager generates and transmits a response that indicates the unique segment ID for the network segment based on the request-context. Subsequently, the particular device may then be configured to communicate on the network segment with the one or more devices based on the unique segment ID of the response.
