    Abstract: Techniques for maintaining isolation and segregation for network paths through multi-cloud fabrics using VRF technologies. The techniques include running virtual routers in a cloud network that connect the cloud network to an on-premises network using a network overlay that preserves VRF information in data packets. Further, the virtual routers connect to individual gateways in the cloud network using tunnels, and each individual gateway is connected to multiple VPCs without overlapping subnets. The virtual routers may assign a sink VRF to each gateway connection that can be used to perform source-IP based VRF selection by mapping source IP addresses in each tunnel connection to appropriate VRFs for the source IP addresses. In this way, virtual routers may use sink VRFs to translate into the VRF information for data packets from the VPCs via source-IP based lookup, and use the corresponding VRF route table to determine next hops for data packets.

    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media for elastic policy scaling in multi-cloud fabrics. A method can involve deploying a cluster of policy agents on a hub virtual private cloud (VPC) that interconnects spoke VPCs in a cloud associated with a multi-cloud fabric, and mapping endpoints in the spoke VPCs to the policy agents. The method can involve distributing groups of policies for the endpoints across the policy agents based on the mapping of endpoints to policy agents, and advertising, by each policy agent to a respective first set of virtual gateways in the spoke VPCs, routes associated with endpoints mapped to the policy agent and preventing the policy agent from advertising routes associated with a second set of virtual gateways in the spoke VPCs. The method can involve applying, via the policy agent, a group of policies on the policy agent to traffic received by the policy agent.

    Abstract: Techniques for maintaining virtual routing and forwarding (VRF) segregation for network paths through multi-cloud fabrics that utilize shared services, e.g., application load balancers. The router of a first network of a multi-cloud fabric receives a first data packet from a source end-point group within the first network and forwards the first data packet to a service end-point group. The service end-point group may forward the first data packet to a destination end-point group of a second network of the multi-cloud fabric. The service end-point group may receive a second data packet from the destination end-point group and forward the second data packet to the router. Based on one of (i) an identity of the service end-point group or (ii) an address of the source end-point group, a VRF may be identified and the second data packet may be forwarded by the router to the source end-point group using the VRF.
