    Abstract: The disclosure provides an approach for backward compatibility of federated data centers. A method includes of synchronizing an object configuration includes creating an object at a global network manager, where the object is associated with one or more properties, and where each of the one or more properties is associated with a minimum virtualized networking version. The method includes determining at the global network manager a minimum compatibility version of the object that is a largest minimum virtualized networking version associated with the one or more properties. The method includes determining a span associated with the object, where the span includes one or more local network managers. The method includes, based on the minimum compatibility version and the span, synchronizing the object at each of the one or more local network managers or determining not to synchronize the object at each of the one or more local network managers.

    Abstract: Certain embodiments described herein are directed to a method of receiving information associated with a service provided by a management plane for managing a remote network. The method, in one example, includes registering, at an adapter container, with a data store or an entity within a service instance of a service deployment associated with a service within a software-defined networking environment associated with the remote network, wherein the service is provided for managing a remote network, and wherein registering with the data store or the entity causes the data store or the entity to send information associated with the service instance to the adapter when information is available. The method also includes receiving, at the adapter container, information from the data store or the entity. The method also includes transforming the information from a first format to a second format. The method also includes transmitting the information to an endpoint.

    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to enforcing universal security policies across data centers. Embodiments include receiving, from a user, a first universal security policy (USP) related to a first universal policy group. Embodiments include identifying a first data center as an enforcement point for the first USP. Embodiments include automatically generating, at the first data center, a first local security policy based on the first USP. Embodiments include deploying a workload associated with the first universal policy group to the first data center. The first USP is enforced for the workload via the first local security policy.
