    Abstract: An example provides a method of creating an instance of a virtual machine in a cloud computing system that includes: accepting a network connection at a server resource in the cloud computing system from a first client resource in a first virtualized computing system to transfer a first virtual machine; receiving first signatures for guest files of the first virtual machine from the first client resource; checking the first signatures against a content library in the cloud computing system to identify first duplicate files of the guest files that match first base files stored in the content library, and to identify first unique files of the guest files; instructing the first client resource such that a response to the instructing will send the first unique files to the exclusion of the first duplicate files; and generating an instance of the first virtual machine in the cloud computing system having the first base files and the first unique files.

    Abstract: Some embodiments provide a network system that includes several host machines for hosting virtual machines, divided into several different domains. The network system includes several local domain management servers. A first local domain management server of a first domain is for (i) initiating creation of a set of distributed virtual switch ports associated with a particular logical network identifier on a host machine within its domain and (ii) attaching a first virtual machine on the host machine to a created port associated with the particular logical network identifier in order for the first virtual machine to send traffic over the logical network. The network system includes a second level management server for coordinating the use of logical network identifiers between multiple different logical domain management servers in order for the first virtual machine to communicate via the logical network with a second virtual machine in a second domain.

    Abstract: A method of deploying a network service across multiple data centers, each having a cloud management server running a cloud computing management software to provision virtual infrastructure resources thereof for a first tenant among a plurality of tenants, includes maintaining for each data center static inventory data that indicate virtual infrastructure resources that are available thereat to the first tenant, identifying, in response to a network service request for the first tenant, a virtual network function associated with the network service, generating commands to deploy the virtual network function based on a descriptor of the virtual network function, selecting one of the data centers in which the virtual network function is to be deployed based on the descriptor of the virtual network function and the static inventory data of each data center, and issuing the commands to the selected data center to deploy the virtual network function.

    Abstract: One or more embodiments provide a firewall policy between a first virtual data center and a second virtual data center. A method includes: establishing a communication link between a first firewall server in the first virtual data center and a second firewall server in the second virtual data center over a network, the first firewall server having a first firewall defined by polices applied to groups of objects in the first virtual data center; obtaining, at the first firewall server, an inventory of objects in the second virtual data center from the second firewall server; determining firewall rule tuples by mapping the policies of the first firewall to groups of objects in the inventory of the second virtual data center; and sending the firewall rule tuples to enforcement points in the second virtual data center.
