Abstract: In general, this disclosure describes a cloud exchange (or “cloud exchange”) that offers a cloud-to-cloud interface (CCI) for interconnecting cloud services to tenants within public clouds. As described herein, the cloud exchange may be configured with a cloud-to-cloud interface that enables tenant applications of a public cloud to subscribe to and communicate with cloud services, using an end-to-end layer 3 path, in some cases without requiring a separate routing protocol session with a public edge device for the public cloud. In some examples, the public cloud provides a virtual layer 2 connection from a tenant within a public cloud to a routing instance of the cloud exchange, and the cloud exchange uses the routing instance to route service traffic between the tenant and the cloud services.

Abstract: In general, a cloud-based services exchange (or “cloud exchange”) for interconnecting multiple cloud service providers with multiple cloud service customers is described. The cloud exchange may enable cloud customers to bypass the public Internet to directly connect to cloud services providers so as to improve performance, reduce costs, increase the security and privacy of the connections, and leverage cloud computing for additional applications. In this way, enterprises, network carriers, and SaaS customers, for instance, can integrate cloud services with their internal applications as if such services are part of or otherwise directly coupled to their own data center network.

Abstract: The techniques described in this disclosure provide resilient and reactive on-demand Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) mitigation services using an exchange. For example, an exchange comprises a first virtual network for switching mixed traffic (including dirty (DDoS) traffic and clean (non-DDoS) traffic)) from one or more networks to one or more DDoS scrubbing centers; and a second virtual network for switching the clean traffic from the one or more DDoS scrubbing centers to the one or more networks, wherein the exchange is configured to receive the mixed traffic from the one or more networks and switch, using the first virtual network, the mixed traffic to a selected DDoS scrubbing center of the one or more DDoS scrubbing centers, and wherein the exchange is configured to receive the clean traffic from the selected DDoS scrubbing center and switch, using the second virtual network, the clean traffic to the one or more networks.

Abstract: This disclosure describes techniques for securely, efficiently, and/or effectively providing cryptographic operations and key management services. Systems in accordance with one or more aspects of the present disclosure may provide secure management of cryptographic keys as service to a plurality of data center users or customers that contract for services provided by a data center. In one example, this disclosure describes a data center comprising a plurality of cloud service provider ports, a plurality of customer ports, network infrastructure coupling the plurality of cloud service provider ports to the plurality of customer ports, and a computing system including at least one hardware security module.

Abstract translation: 一般来说，描述了用于将多个云服务提供商与多个云服务客户互连的基于云的服务交换（或“云交换”）。 云交换可能使云客户绕过公共互联网直接连接到云服务提供商，从而提高性能，降低成本，增加连接的安全性和隐私性，并将云计算用于其他应用。 例如，企业，网络运营商和SaaS客户可以将云服务与其内部应用集成在一起，就像这些服务是自己的数据中心网络的一部分或者直接耦合在一起的。
