Abstract:
The disclosure provides an approach for dynamically reprogramming network and network infrastructure in response to VM mobility. The approach provides a hypervisor layer that can observe changes in VM-host relationships and reprogram the associated network and network infrastructure to maintain network communication. The hypervisor layer notifies an elastic network interface of a new IP address to include within its whitelist in response to VM migration to that elastic network interface.
