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.
