Method and system for facilitating multi-tenancy routing in virtual private cloud
A system for the isolation of routes in a network is provided. During operation, the system can receive subscription information indicating that a first virtual private cloud (VPC) of the network subscribes to a first route tag. Here, the subscription to a route tag can indicate that a subscriber is to receive routes associated with the route tag. The system can also receive, from a routing protocol instance of the network, a first route advertisement indicating a first route in the network. The first route advertisement can include the first route tag. The system can then determine, based on the first route tag in the route advertisement, that the first VPC subscribes to the first route tag. Accordingly, the system can provide the first route to the first VPC.
1. A method for facilitating isolation of routes in a network, the method comprising:
receiving, by a computing system in the network, subscription information indicating that a first virtual private cloud (VPC) of the network subscribes to a first route tag, wherein subscription to a respective route tag indicates that a subscriber is to receive routes associated with the route tag;
receiving, from a routing protocol instance of the network, a first route advertisement indicating a first route in the network, wherein the first route advertisement comprises the first route tag;
determining, based on the first route tag in the route advertisement, that the first VPC subscribes to the first route tag; and
providing the first route to the first VPC.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the routing protocol instance executes in a transit VPC that facilitates exchange of routing information among a plurality of VPCs deployed in the network.
3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising configuring the routing protocol instance to distribute the first route with the first route tag.
4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
storing the subscription information associated with the first route tag in a data structure; and
in response to receiving the first route advertisement, looking up the first route tag in the data structure to determine that the first VPC subscribes to the first route tag.
5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising configuring a policy-based route (PBR) for the first VPC to allow traffic to and from the first VPC via the first route.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the subscription information further indicates that the first VPC subscribes to a second route tag, wherein the second route tag is associated with routes associated with a set of shared services.
7. The method of claim 6 , further comprising:
receiving a second route advertisement indicating a second route in the network, wherein the second route advertisement comprises the second route tag;
determining that the first VPC subscribes to the second route tag; and
providing the second route to the first VPC.
8. The method of claim 1 , further comprising refraining from providing a third route associated with a third route tag to the first VPC, wherein the first VPC does not subscribe to the third route tag.
9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first route advertisement is a Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) advertisement, and wherein the first route tag indicates a BGP community.
10. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions that when executed by a computer cause the computer to perform a method for facilitating isolation of routes in a network, the method comprising:
receiving subscription information indicating that a first virtual private cloud (VPC) of the network subscribes to a first route tag, wherein subscription to a respective route tag indicates that a subscriber is to receive routes associated with the route tag;
receiving, from a routing protocol instance of the network, a first route advertisement indicating a first route in the network, wherein the first route advertisement comprises the first route tag;
determining, based on the first route tag in the route advertisement, that the first VPC subscribes to the first route tag; and
providing the first route to the first VPC.
11. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 10 , wherein the routing protocol instance executes in a transit VPC that facilitates exchange of routing information among a plurality of VPCs deployed in the network.
12. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 10 , wherein the method further comprises configuring the routing protocol instance to distribute the first route with the first route tag.
13. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 10 , wherein the method further comprises:
storing the subscription information associated with the first route tag in a data structure; and
in response to receiving the first route advertisement, looking up the first route tag in the data structure to determine that the first VPC subscribes to the first route tag.
14. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 10 , wherein the method further comprises configuring a policy-based route (PBR) for the first VPC to allow traffic to and from the first VPC via the first route.
15. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 10 , wherein the subscription information further indicates that the first VPC subscribes to a second route tag, wherein the second route tag is associated with routes associated with a set of shared services.
16. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 15 , wherein the method further comprises:
receiving a second route advertisement indicating a second route in the network, wherein the second route advertisement comprises the second route tag;
determining that the first VPC subscribes to the second route tag; and
providing the second route to the first VPC.
17. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 10 , wherein the method further comprises refraining from providing a third route associated with a third route tag to the first VPC, wherein the first VPC does not subscribe to the third route tag.
18. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 10 , wherein the first route advertisement is a Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) advertisement, and wherein the first route tag indicates a BGP community.
19. A computing system, comprising:
a processor; and
a memory coupled to the processor and storing instructions, which when executed by the processor cause the processor to perform a method for facilitating isolation of routes in a network, the method comprising:
receiving subscription information indicating that a first virtual private cloud (VPC) of the network subscribes to a first route tag, wherein subscription to a respective route tag indicates that a subscriber is to receive routes associated with the route tag;
receiving, from a routing protocol instance of the network, a first route advertisement indicating a first route in the network, wherein the first route advertisement comprises the first route tag;
determining, based on the first route tag in the route advertisement, that the first VPC subscribes to the first route tag; and
providing the first route to the first VPC.
20. The computing system of claim 19 , wherein the subscription information further indicates that the first VPC subscribes to a second route tag, wherein the second route tag is associated with routes associated with a set of shared services.
