    Abstract: A distributed network controller that is configured in a containerized architecture is described. The network controller includes a plurality of microservices packaged and deployed using respective containers for the microservices, according to a plurality of charts, each chart comprising one or more templates that define a manner in which the microservices, for performing respective operations of the network controller, are deployed on a plurality of servers within the data center. Execution of the microservices of the distributed network controller establishes a virtual network for packetized communications among virtual execution elements executing on the plurality of servers in the data center. Each container that includes one of the plurality of microservices is executed by a server of the plurality of servers as an isolated user-space instance on the server.

    Abstract: An example computing device includes a first containerized router and processing circuitry. The computing device includes a containerized virtual router configured to execute on the processing circuitry and configured to implement a data plane for the first containerized router. The computing device includes a containerized routing protocol process configured to execute on the processing circuitry and configured to implement a control plane for the first containerized router wherein the containerized routing protocol process is configured to execute a routing protocol. The first containerized router is configured to program a virtual private cloud (VPC) route table in a VPC gateway based on routing information received by the containerized routing protocol process via the routing protocol. The first containerized router is communicatively coupled to a second containerized router via a virtual router redundancy protocol (VRRP) session.

    Abstract: In general, this disclosure describes techniques for provisioning virtual private network (VPN) services for cloud native routers using a multi-stage process. In an example, a method comprises deploying, in a first computing device, using a layer 2 bridge domain that includes the first computing device, a containerized routing protocol process; deploying, in the first computing device, using the layer 2 bridge domain, a containerized application; configuring, in the containerized routing protocol process executing on the first computing device, a virtual private network (VPN); and exchanging, by the containerized routing protocol process executing on the first computing device, routing protocol messages with another router to provide virtual connectivity between the containerized application and another application that is external to the first computing device.

    Abstract: In general, techniques are described for deploying virtualized cell site routers (vCSRs) capable of layer 2 (L2) forwarding to cell site servers to support management and orchestration of functional units for mobile networks executing on the cell site servers. In an example, a method comprises receiving, at a forwarding plane of a virtualized cell site router (vCSR) of a first Distributed Unit (DU) of a plurality of DU servers of a cell site for a 5G radio access network, the vCSR having a containerized routing protocol process and a forwarding plane configured to perform Layer 2 (L2) switching, L2 packets on a second interface for a second physical link connecting the first DU server to an L2 switch; and switching, by the forwarding plane of the vCSR of the first DU, the L2 packets on a first interface for a first physical link connecting the first DU server to a second DU server of the plurality of DU servers.
