    Abstract: In one embodiment, an illustrative method herein may comprise: determining, by a network controller, physical network topology of a data center network; collecting, by the network controller, virtual machine related network topology of the data center network from a virtual machine manager for the data center network; collecting, by the network controller, virtual ethernet flow mapping information of the data center network from a blade system management software for the data center network; collecting, by the network controller, container workload information of the data center network from a container orchestrator for the data center network; and generating, by the network controller, an integrated correlated visualization mapping of containers and associated network attachment points in the data center network based on the physical network topology, the virtual machine related network topology, the virtual ethernet flow mapping information, and the container workload information.
