Abstract:
A physical computing device is provided that includes a set of processing units and a set of machine readable media (CRM) for execution by the set of processing units. The CRM stores a plurality of data compute nodes (DCNs) deployed by a compute manager of a datacenter, virtualization software, and a network manager agent. The network manager receives a read-only configuration construct for each of a set of logical networks from a network manager of the datacenter, the logical networks configured and managed by the network manager. the agent provisions the set of logical networks on the physical computing device for use by the virtualization software. The agent provides a copy of the read-only construct of each logical network to the compute manager to allow the compute manager to connect one or more DCNs to each of the logical networks.
