Abstract:
Techniques for cloud network automation for IP address and DNS record management are disclosed. In some embodiments, a system, process, and/or computer program product for cloud network automation for IP address and DNS record management includes receiving at a cloud platform appliance (e.g., a virtual or physical IP address and/or DNS management appliance) a cloud request related to a resource (e.g., a virtual or physical resource) in a cloud environment from a global cloud manager; and processing the cloud request at the cloud platform appliance to determine whether to proxy the cloud request to another cloud platform appliance or a grid master or to locally process the cloud request, wherein a storage of infrastructure metadata information for IP address and/or DNS record management is updated based on the cloud request.

Claim (Index 2):
A system, comprising:\n a processor of a first cloud platform appliance configured to:\n receive a cloud request related to a resource in a cloud environment from a global cloud manager; and \n process the cloud request to determine whether to proxy the cloud request to a second cloud platform appliance or a grid master or to locally process the cloud request at the first cloud platform, wherein a storage of infrastructure metadata information for IP address and/or DNS record management is updated based on the cloud request, and wherein the processing of the cloud request comprises to:\n determine that the second cloud platform appliance does not have authorization to process the cloud request based on an access control list; and \n in response to determining that the second cloud platform appliance does not have authorization to process the cloud request based on the access control list, proxy the cloud request to the grid master to process the cloud request, wherein the first cloud platform appliance is a member of a grid, wherein the grid includes a plurality of cloud platform appliances and the grid master, wherein the plurality of cloud platform appliances includes the second cloud platform appliance, and wherein the grid master maintains a centralized data store of IP address management (IPAM) related data of the grid, DNS related data of the grid, Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) related data of the grid, or any combination thereof; and \n \n a memory coupled to the processor and configured to provide the processor with instructions.
