Abstract: In an example, a method includes processing, by an application programming interface (API) server implemented by a configuration node of a network controller for a software-defined networking (SDN) architecture system, requests for operations on native resources of a container orchestration system; processing, by a custom API server implemented by the configuration node, requests for operations on custom resources for SDN architecture configuration, wherein each of the custom resources for SDN architecture configuration corresponds to a type of configuration object in the SDN architecture system; detecting, by a control node of the network controller, an event on an instance of a first custom resource of the custom resources; and by the control node, in response to detecting the event on the instance of the first custom resource, obtaining configuration data for the instance of the first custom resource and configuring a corresponding instance of a configuration object in the SDN architecture.

Abstract: This disclosure describes techniques for configuring software defined network (SDN) controllers within different cloud computing domains and, in particular, a multi-cluster controller that operates and presents, in some examples, a single interface for seamlessly controlling and configuring SDN controllers in different cloud computing domains. In one example, this disclosure describes a system that includes a plurality of clusters, each of the plurality of clusters including a plurality of configurable endpoints; a storage system; and processing circuitry having access to the storage system and capable of communicating with each of the plurality of configurable endpoints. In some examples, the processing circuitry is configured to receive a plurality of requests, each specifying a configuration operation, identify, for each of the requests, a configuration cluster and a configuration endpoint within the configuration cluster, and perform, for each of the requests, the specified configuration operation.

Abstract: A system for configuring a data center includes a fabric management server coupled to a management switch. A provisional Software Defined Networking (SDN) controller executing on the fabric management server can discover physical servers coupled to the management switch, receive network interface configuration information from the physical servers, and use the discovered network interface configuration information to determine a configuration for switches and servers coupled to an IP fabric. The configuration can be migrated to a full functionality SDN controller.
