Abstract:
Embodiments relate to a software-defined networking (SDN) interface between multiple platform managers. An aspect is a computer-implemented method for receiving, at an SDN controller of a network, provisioning data from a first network provisioning application associated with a first platform manager of a first computing platform. Provisioning data are received at the SDN controller from a second network provisioning application associated with a second platform manager of a second computing platform. The SDN controller compares the provisioning data from the first network provisioning application to the provisioning data from the second network provisioning application to identify provisioning issues. The SDN controller determines a modified provisioning that resolves the provisioning issues. The SDN controller configures the network to comply with the modified provisioning. The modified provisioning is reported to the first and second network provisioning applications.
