CONFIGURING SERVICE LOAD BALANCERS WITH SPECIFIED BACKEND VIRTUAL NETWORKS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240048492 titled 'CONFIGURING SERVICE LOAD BALANCERS WITH SPECIFIED BACKEND VIRTUAL NETWORKS

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes techniques for specifying a backend virtual network for a service load balancer. It explains that an orchestrator receives a service definition for a service implemented by load balancing service traffic among multiple backend virtual execution elements. The service definition specifies a virtual network to use as a backend for the service. The orchestrator then instantiates a backend virtual execution element for the service and configures a network controller to load balance service traffic to the backend virtual element's virtual network interface.

  • The patent/application describes techniques for specifying a backend virtual network for a service load balancer.
  • An orchestrator receives a service definition for a service implemented by load balancing service traffic among multiple backend virtual execution elements.
  • The service definition specifies a virtual network to use as a backend for the service.
  • The orchestrator instantiates a backend virtual execution element for the service.
  • The network controller is configured based on the service definition to load balance service traffic to the backend virtual element's virtual network interface.

Potential Applications:

  • Cloud computing platforms
  • Virtualized computing infrastructure
  • Service load balancing

Problems Solved:

  • Efficiently managing and distributing service traffic among backend virtual execution elements
  • Simplifying the configuration of load balancers for virtualized computing infrastructure

Benefits:

  • Improved performance and scalability of services
  • Simplified management and configuration of backend virtual networks and load balancers
  • Enhanced flexibility in deploying and scaling services in virtualized environments


Original Abstract Submitted

techniques are described for specifying a backend virtual network for a service load balancer. an example orchestrator of this disclosure is configured to receive a service definition for a service implemented by load balancing service traffic for the service among a plurality of backend virtual execution elements, wherein the service definition specifies a first virtual network to use as a backend virtual network for the service, to instantiate, in a selected one of the computing devices, a backend virtual execution element for the service, and to configure, based on the service definition specifying the first virtual network to use as the backend virtual network for the service, a network controller for the virtualized computing infrastructure to configure a load balancer to load balance service traffic to a first virtual network interface, of the backend virtual element, for the first virtual network.
