Networking In The Cloud. In discussing network design with my clients, I talk about how routers, firewalls and other network gear can be interconnected to provide a scalable and redundant IP network.

Networking In The Cloud

These foundations of network design apply to networks composed of tangible components or the virtualized infrastructure that extends corporate data centers to the cloud. I find that the networking aspects of cloud computing are frequently overlooked or addressed as an afterthought.

I find that the networking aspects of cloud computing are frequently overlooked or addressed as an afterthought. There's much hype associated with the cloud. The last driver is availability. 1 of 2.

How software defined networking and cloud computing pave the way towards a digital society

Software defined networking (SDN) and network function virtualization (NFV) are just two facets of the so-called “IT-zation or softwarization” of telecom infrastructures. SDN decouples the software, control plane, from the forwarding hardware of nodes such as routers and switches and executes the control software in the cloud or in any standard or hybrid processing resources made available, such as blades or servers. SDN doesn’t just affect the evolution of Layer 2 and Layer 3 services such as switching and networking, but also impacts Layer 4 to Layer 7 network functions.

However, SDN and NFV are not dependent on each other, but they are certainly mutually beneficial. Antonio Manzalini received the M. CTS 2372.

This post is inspired by the Connecting Windows Azure to Amazon post that Michael Washam wrote.

Connecting Multiple Windows Azure Virtual Networks with AWS

In his post, he showed how to connect a Windows Azure Virtual Network (VNET) to a Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) hosted in Amazon Web Services (AWS) with a site-to-site VPN and OpenSwan. I will extend his post to show you how to connect multiple Windows Azure VNETs together. I will use the following architecture diagram as an example for illustration. The address space for the VPC in AWS is 10.10.0.0/16, and there are four VNETs in Windows Azure with the following address spaces.
