Embodiment Construction

[0017] Examples described in this disclosure involve using top-of-rack (TOR) switches to enforce policies (eg, isolation policies) to enable access to dedicated resources (eg, dedicated storage). In traditional virtual networks provided by cloud providers, network-level policies, including isolation policies, are enforced on managed containers or virtual machines. This approach limits the transparent use of the customer's own dedicated hardware, which may be located at the customer's premises or elsewhere. This is because, typically, dedicated hardware is connected to the cloud provider's resources via a virtual private network. This arrangement increases the latency associated with data traffic originating from or destined for dedicated hardware.

[0018] Furthermore, since specialized hardware can be used for various purposes and can be provided by different manufacturers, it is not possible to apply uniform network-level policies, including isolation policies, to specializ...

Abstract

Systems and methods for enabling access to dedicated resources in a virtual network using top of rack switches are disclosed. A method includes a virtual filtering platform encapsulating at least one packet, received from a virtual machine, to generate at least one encapsulated packet comprising a virtual network identifier (VNI). The method further includes a TOR switch for (1) receiving the at least one encapsulated packet and decapsulating the at least one encapsulated packet to create at least one decapsulated packet, (2) using the VNI to identify a virtual routing and forwarding artifact to determine a virtual local area network interface associated with the dedicated hardware portion, and (3) transmitting the at least one decapsulated packet to the dedicated hardware portion based on at least one policy provided by a controller, wherein the at least one policy comprises the information related to a customer of the service provider.

Description

Background technique [0001] Computing, storage, and networking resources are increasingly accessed via public clouds, private clouds, or a hybrid of both. A public cloud includes a global network of servers that perform various functions, including storing and managing data, running applications, and delivering content or services, such as streaming video, email, office productivity software, or social media. Servers and other components can be located in data centers around the world. While public clouds provide services to the public over the Internet, businesses can use private or hybrid clouds. Private and hybrid clouds also include networks of servers located in data centers. Cloud service providers provide access to cloud computing and storage resources by offering them to customers. [0002] At times, a customer may wish to access not only cloud resources provided by the cloud service provider, but also resources (eg, storage resources) located at the customer's prem...
