Classification: CPC H | IPC G  H

Claim 16:
17. A tangible, non-transitory, computer-readable medium having computer-executable instructions stored thereon that, when executed by a processor on a network controller, cause the network controller to perform a method comprising:
determining physical network topology of a data center network;
onboarding a virtual machine manager for the data center network and a container orchestrator for the data center network onto the network controller with read-only privileges;
collecting virtual machine related network topology of the data center network from the virtual machine manager for the data center network;
collecting virtual ethernet flow mapping information of the data center network from a blade system management software for the data center network;
collecting container workload information of the data center network from the container orchestrator for the data center network; and
generating an integrated correlated visualization mapping of containers and associated network attachment points in the data center network based on the physical network topology, the virtual machine related network topology, the virtual ethernet flow mapping information, and the container workload information.
