Abstract:
A solution is provided to enable cloud service provider customers/users to offer physical network services to virtualized workloads that use overlay technologies, such as a Virtual Extensible Local Area Network (VXLAN). For a virtual workload that uses an overlay technology, an identifier is received of a logical network to which the virtual workload connects and a policy for the logical network. Based on the identifier of the logical network and the policy, a gateway is configured to connect traffic for the virtual workload on the logical network to a particular virtual local area network (VLAN) interface of the physical network service equipment on which the policy is configured.
