Abstract: Embodiments described herein generally involve identifying workloads in a multi-site networking environment. Embodiments include determining that a given network is stretched across a first network segment at a first site and a second network segment at a second site. Embodiments include creating a stretched administrative domain for the given network and mapping an address of the given network to the stretched administrative domain in a lookup table for an administrative domain associated with the first network segment. Embodiments include receiving a flow record from an observation point in the first network segment, the flow record having a source IP address associated with the second network segment and a destination IP address associated with the first network segment. Embodiments include identifying a source workload and destination workload of the flow record using the lookup table and a workload identification table that maps combinations of IP addresses and administrative domains to workloads.

Abstract: Some embodiments provide a method for evaluating locations of applications in a multi-cloud network with applications located in different cloud datacenters of one or more cloud providers. The method receives data for flows collected from the cloud datacenters. The data for each flow indicates a source and destination of the flow and applications to which at least one of the source and destination of the flow belong. The method uses network topology data to identify a subset of the flows as egress flows, each of which is charged by a cloud provider at which the flow source is located. Based on data from the cloud providers, the method determines a cost for each of the egress flows and a cost associated with each of the applications. The method provides these costs to users of the network for the users to optimize locations of the applications in the different cloud datacenters.
