RESOURCE SHARING BETWEEN CLOUD-HOSTED VIRTUAL NETWORKS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240205051 titled 'RESOURCE SHARING BETWEEN CLOUD-HOSTED VIRTUAL NETWORKS
The abstract describes techniques for resource sharing between cloud-hosted virtual networks. A service within a cloud provider network translates network addresses to enable communication between different virtual networks.
- Association of network addresses: A first network address of a virtual network is linked to a resource in a second virtual network within the same cloud provider network.
- Address translation: When a message is sent to the first network address, the service translates it to the second network address of the resource in the second virtual network.
- Message forwarding: The service then forwards the message to the resource at the second network address, facilitating communication between the two virtual networks.
Potential Applications: - Enhanced communication and resource sharing within cloud-hosted virtual networks. - Improved efficiency and flexibility in managing resources across different virtual networks.
Problems Solved: - Overcoming communication barriers between virtual networks hosted within the same cloud provider network. - Simplifying the process of sharing resources and information across different virtual networks.
Benefits: - Streamlined resource sharing and communication. - Increased flexibility and scalability in managing virtual networks within a cloud environment.
Commercial Applications: Cloud service providers, network management companies, and businesses utilizing cloud-hosted virtual networks can benefit from this technology to enhance resource sharing and communication efficiency.
Questions about Resource Sharing Between Cloud-Hosted Virtual Networks: 1. How does the address translation process work in enabling communication between different virtual networks? 2. What are the potential security implications of sharing resources between virtual networks within a cloud environment?
Original Abstract Submitted
techniques for resource sharing between cloud-hosted virtual networks are described. a first network address of a first virtual network is associated with a resource connected to a second virtual network, the first and second virtual networks within a cloud provider network. a service of the cloud provider network receives a message destined for the first network address. the service translates the first network address to a second network address of the resource in the second virtual private network. the service sends the message to the resource at the second network address in the second virtual network.
