Abstract: Anycast IP addressing and policy-based forwarding are implemented so that resources deployed in association with different accounts of a tenant but have overlapping IP addresses appear distinct to the tenant. A service that executes on a network controller configures a DHCP address pool for an account for which associated resources are indicated for deployment. The service also orchestrates instantiation of one or more connectors configured to front the resource(s) and allocates an anycast IP address to the connector(s) that is unique with respect to other connectors that front resources associated with the same account or different accounts. The service then creates a policy-based forwarding rule to forward network traffic originating from an IP address within the account's DHCP address pool and with a destination address that matches the resource(s) IP address to the anycast IP address allocated to the connector(s) that fronts the resources.

Abstract: A data packet is received. It is determined whether the data packet is encapsulated. One or more security policies are applied to the data packet based on whether the data packet is encapsulated.

Abstract: Anycast addressing is utilized to support the connection of multiple application connectors fronting an application(s) to a network element and anycast routing of network traffic destined for the application(s). When an application is indicated for onboarding in a tenant's network fabric, a network controller allocates virtual and anycast addresses to the application. Allocation of anycast addresses is per domain name and port/protocol combination. Upon determining that the application is available, the application connector(s) advertises reachability of the application via the anycast address. The network controller orchestrates configuration of a domain name system entry that resolves the application name to its virtual Internet Protocol (IP) address and destination network address translation rules that translate the virtual IP address to the anycast address and the anycast address to the application's private IP address.

Allocation of anycast addresses is per domain name and port/protocol combination. Upon determining that the application is available, the application connector(s) advertises reachability of the application via the anycast address. The network controller orchestrates configuration of a DNS entry that resolves the application name to its virtual IP address and destination NAT rules that translate the virtual IP address to the anycast address and the anycast address to the application's private IP address. Application network traffic can thus be forwarded to the application via any application connector that advertised the anycast address.
