    Abstract: Virtual computing instances are provisioned with network resource allocation constraints, which may include hard constraints that must be met in order for the virtual computing instances to be created in a host server. Network resources from multiple hosts may be pooled in a virtual switch, and a cloud management system (CMS) may ensure that a network bandwidth reservation for a new virtual computing instance can be accommodated by network bandwidth in the pool that is reserved for communication endpoint traffic. In addition to such CMS-level constraint enforcement, techniques disclosed herein may also enforce network bandwidths constraints at the host level to guarantee that network bandwidth reservation requirements for communication endpoint(s) of a new virtual computing instance can be satisfied by a particular host before creating the virtual computing instance in that host.

    Abstract: Techniques associated with exchanging data between clusters are disclosed. A data packet can be received from a first pod in a first cluster of a cluster set that targets a second pod or service in a second cluster of the cluster set. A label identity is determined for the first pod from a table of pods and label identities. The label identity for the first pod is added in a virtual network identifier field of a data packet header. The data packet is communicated from a first virtual switch to the second cluster through a tunnel interface and gateway node. Upon receipt of the data packet, the label identity is extracted from the data packet header, and an ingress rule associated with the label identity can be determined. Access to the second pod is controlled based on the rule.

    Abstract: The disclosure provides an approach for decentralizing control plane operations in a network environment that includes transport nodes configured to implement a logical overlay network. A method includes transmitting a global list of transport nodes to each of the plurality of transport nodes from a management plane, the global list including an ordered list of the plurality of transport nodes. The method also includes transmitting a neighbor index value to each of the plurality of transport nodes, where the transport nodes each compute a corresponding list of neighbor transport nodes based on the neighbor index value and the global list of transport nodes. The method also includes, based on determining an update to a state of the logical overlay network has occurred by a first transport node, transmitting an update message from the first transport node to each transport node in the first transport node's list of neighbor transport nodes.
