Cloud-based system for policy-driven route and traffic management
The granted patent US12068944B2 describes a cloud-based multi-tenant system designed for policy-driven locality route and traffic management. This system comprises multiple routes that deliver services to various end-user devices, characterized by locality and residency. The routes are distributed across different domains, which separate subsets of end-user devices for multiple tenants. Each route is aligned with specific policies that govern the residency of cloud services and the routes themselves. An application on the end-user device can request a policy, which, in turn, determines the appropriate route for communication with cloud services, ensuring that the interaction adheres to the specified policy.
Additionally, the patent outlines methods for managing and switching routes within this cloud-based system. It emphasizes the dynamic configuration of routes based on performance metrics, residency, and policy specifications. Traffic maps are utilized to store performance data, while route maps maintain addresses and residency information for each link. The system allows enterprises to specify performance preferences through policy selection, and it includes mechanisms for addressing non-compliance with policies by remediating routes and configurations. Telemetry data can also be reported to update the routes based on testing outcomes, enhancing the overall efficiency and compliance of the system.
