Automatically scaled network overlay with heuristic monitoring in a hybrid cloud environment

摘要

Techniques are provided for a management application in a first virtual network to start a first cloud gateway in the first virtual network. One or more first messages are sent to a second virtual network, the one or more first messages comprising information configured to start a second cloud gateway and a first virtual switch in the second virtual network. A connection is established between the first cloud gateway and the second cloud gateway, where the first cloud gateway, the second cloud gateway, and the first virtual switch form a first scalable cloud network element. One or more second messages are sent to the second virtual network, the one or more second messages comprising information configured to start a virtual machine and a first virtual machine interface configured to allow the virtual machine to access processing resources in the second virtual network. Data are stored that associates the virtual machine with the first virtual switch.
