Abstract

The method of some embodiments assigns a client to a particular datacenter from among multiple datacenters. The method is performed at a first datacenter, starting when it receives security data associated with a second datacenter. Then the method receives a DNS request from the client. Based on the received security data, the method sends a DNS reply assigning the client to the particular datacenter instead of the second datacenter. The receiving and sending is performed by a DNS cluster of the datacenter in some embodiments. The particular datacenter includes a set of servers implementing an application for the client in some embodiments. The datacenter to which the client gets assigned can be the first datacenter or a third datacenter.

Claims (31)

1. A method of assigning a client to a particular datacenter from a plurality of datacenters, the method comprising:

at a first datacenter:

receiving security data associated with a second datacenter, the security data being associated with one or more seriousness levels;

maintaining a deny list of client identifiers based on the received security data;

receiving a DNS request from the client;

checking a client identifier against the deny-list; and

based on the received security data and the client identifier, sending a DNS reply assigning the client to the particular datacenter instead of the second datacenter.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the receiving and sending is performed by a DNS cluster of the datacenter.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the particular datacenter includes a set of servers implementing an application for the client.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the particular datacenter is the first datacenter.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the particular datacenter is not the first datacenter.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the security data is associated with a set of servers, at the second datacenter, that implement an application for clients.

7. The method of claim 6 , wherein the security data is collected by hardware or software security agents at the second datacenter.

8. The method of claim 7 , wherein the security agents are implemented on the servers of second datacenter.

9. The method of claim 7 , wherein the security agents monitor security reports generated by smart network interface cards (smart NICs) in the second datacenter.

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the security data indicates a denial of service (DOS) attack.

11. The method of claim 1 , wherein the security data indicates a compromised or less secure application at the second datacenter.

12. The method of claim 11 , wherein the application is less secure not all available security patches have been applied to the application.

13. A non-transitory machine readable medium storing a program that when executed by at least one processing unit at a first datacenter assigns a client to a particular datacenter from a plurality of datacenters, the program comprising sets of instructions for:

receiving security data associated with a second datacenter, the security data being associated with one or more seriousness levels;

maintaining a deny list of client identifiers based on the received security data;

receiving a DNS request from the client;

checking a client identifier against the deny-list; and

based on the received security data and the client identifier, sending a DNS reply assigning the client to the particular datacenter instead of the second datacenter.

14. The non-transitory machine readable medium of claim 13 , wherein the receiving and sending is performed by a DNS cluster of the datacenter.

15. The non-transitory machine readable medium of claim 13 , wherein the particular datacenter includes a set of servers implementing an application for the client.

16. The non-transitory machine readable medium of claim 13 , wherein the particular datacenter is the first datacenter.

17. The non-transitory machine readable medium of claim 13 , wherein the particular datacenter is not the first datacenter.

18. The non-transitory machine readable medium of claim 13 , wherein the security data is associated with a set of servers, at the second datacenter, that implement an application for clients.

19. The non-transitory machine readable medium of claim 18 , wherein the security data is collected by hardware or software security agents at the second datacenter.

20. The non-transitory machine readable medium of claim 19 , wherein the security agents monitor security reports generated by smart network interface cards (smart NICs) in the second datacenter.
