Abstract:
1. A computer-implemented method comprising: managing, by one or more configured computing systems, a first communication that specifies a first virtual network address associated with a first computing node of a first virtual computer network, the managing of the first communication being based at least in part on mapping information for the first virtual computer network that associates the first virtual network address with a distinct substrate network address for the first computing node; after the managing of the first communication, determining, by the one or more configured computing systems, to initiate a change to the first computing node that results in a modification of the associated first virtual network address for the first computing node or of the substrate network address for the first computing node; and managing, by the one or more configured computing systems and based at least in part on updated mapping information for the first virtual computer network, a second communication sent to the first computing node, the updated mapping information for the first virtual computer network reflecting the change to the first computing node.
