HIGH AVAILABILITY FOR STATEFUL SERVICES IN PUBLIC CLOUD LOGICAL NETWORKS

摘要

Some embodiments provide a method for a network controller that manages a logical network spanning multiple physical locations. For each physical location hosting data compute nodes (DCNs) belonging to the logical network, the method defines a centralized routing component for processing data messages between the DCNs hosted at the physical location and networks external to the logical network, assigns an active instance of the centralized routing component to operate at the physical location, and assigns a standby instance of the centralized routing component to operate at one of the other physical locations.
