Multi-tenant cloud native system for network connections using tags
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11968269B1) discloses a multi-tenant cloud native control plane system designed to facilitate network connections between various gateway endpoints using tags and secure tunnels. The system involves an end-user device with a client endpoint, a cloud control plane, and a cloud provider. The cloud control plane receives connection requests, identifies the tenant, assigns tags to gateway endpoints based on policies, establishes connectivity between tags, determines secure tunnels, and facilitates network connections between client and service endpoints via these tunnels. The system ensures tenant isolation, implements tenant-specific rules, and utilizes protocols like Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) for exchanging device databases and determining routes.
Furthermore, the patent includes a networking method and a computer-readable medium with executable code that follow a similar process as the multi-tenant cloud native control plane system. The method involves receiving connection requests, identifying tenants, assigning tags, determining connectivity patterns, establishing tunnels, and enabling network connections. It also incorporates tenant-specific rules, tenant identification, and prioritization based on tag policies. The computer-readable medium contains code for executing these functions, including data exchange protocols like BGP and the establishment of Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) for secure connections. Overall, the patent outlines a comprehensive system and method for efficiently managing network connections in a multi-tenant cloud environment, ensuring security, isolation, and optimized routing based on tags and policies.
