Abstract: Techniques for utilizing virtual edge switches of cloud computing networks to send, receive, and store in respective virtual memory, associations between virtual resource and virtual edge switches for better convergence in virtual application centric infrastructure networks. Each virtual memory acts as a virtual endpoint database and contains a number of records indicating associations between each virtual endpoint and the virtual edge switch attached to the virtual endpoint. Each virtual edge switch is hosted by a physical server and is configured to forward communications received from separate physical servers in the cloud computing network to the virtual endpoints attached to the virtual edge switch. The advertisement messages are configured to be sent upon a new virtual resource or a migrated virtual resource spinning-up on a physical server. The advertisement message may be configured to store additional network routing information associated with the virtual machine hosting the virtual endpoint.
