    Abstract: A method for providing cloud network reachability analysis includes receiving a reachability query requesting a reachability status of a target including a packet header associated with a data packet. The packet header includes a source IP address and a destination IP address. The method also includes generating one or more simulated forwarding paths for the data packet based on the packet header using a data plane model. Each simulated forwarding path includes corresponding network configuration information. The method includes determining the reachability status of the target based on the one or more simulated forwarding paths and providing the determined reachability status and the one or more simulated forwarding paths to a user device associated with the reachability query which causes the user device to present the network configuration information for each simulated forwarding path.

    Abstract: A system for simulating network configurations includes data processing hardware and memory hardware in communication with the data processing hardware. The memory hardware stores instructions that when executed on the data processing hardware cause the data processing hardware to perform operations. The operations includes receiving one or more parameter changes for a production network model of a network. The operations also include generating a simulation network model including the one or more parameter changes. Another operation includes analyzing the simulated network flow within the simulation network model. The operations also include generating a report including an impact of the parameter changes on the network. The operations may also include receiving a production network log including a recorded workflow for the production network model and simulating the production workflow of the production network log within the simulation network model to generate a simulated network log.

    Abstract: The present disclosure provides for automatic peering between virtual networks, such as virtual private clouds (VPCs). A VPC may be configured to operate in an “auto-peering” mode, allowing for automatic peering to be turned on or off. When auto-peering is turned on, that VPC may seek connections with other VPCs, such as other VPCs matching one or more predefined policies. In addition, the particular VPC with auto-peering turned on may be open to accept connection requests from other VPCs matching one or more predefined policies. The policies for requesting connection may be the same as or different than the policies for accepting connection requests. According to some examples, the VPC may be set to a “listening” mode, in which it is open to peering with any other VPC that matches a predefined policy, but is not actively seeking to establish other connections.

    Abstract: A method includes obtaining a stream of consecutive network configuration snapshots each including network configuration information. The method also includes determining that first network configuration information of a first network configuration snapshot of the network from the stream of consecutive network configuration snapshots for the network is not the same as second network configuration information of a second network configuration snapshot of the network from the stream of consecutive network configuration snapshots for the network. The method also includes generating a reachability differentiation graph that identifies a net change to reachability from the first network configuration information and the second network configuration information based on determining that the first network configuration information is not the same as the second network configuration information.

    Abstract: A method includes receiving, from a user device, a reachability request requesting a reachability status of network traffic from a first VM of a VPC to a second VM of the VPC. The method also includes obtaining network configuration information defining a configuration of a network connecting the first VM and the second VM, generating, using the network configuration information associated with the VPC, a simulated path between the first VM and the second VM, and, determining, based on the simulated path, that the second VM is unreachable from the first VM. The method further includes, based on determining that the second VM is unreachable from the first VM, generating a reachability report, the reachability report including each hop of the plurality of hops of the simulated path, and a rationale that the second VM is unreachable from the first VM, and providing the reachability report to the user device.
