Abstract:
Methods, computer-readable storage medium and systems described herein facilitate registering and consuming network services on a virtual network. A virtual machine management server (VMMS) is configured to receive a service definition associated with a network service. The VMMS creates one or more service profiles based on the service definition. The VMMS configures a plurality of hosts based on the one or more service profiles such that the network service is usable, via a virtual network, by one or more virtual machines within the plurality of hosts.

Claim (Index 9):
At least one computer-readable storage medium having computer-executable instructions embodied thereon, wherein, when executed by at least one processor, the computer-executable instructions cause the at least one processor to:\n receive a service definition associated with a network service, the service definition including information about the network service and configuration instructions for configuring the plurality of hosts, each including at least a virtual machine executing therein and a virtual switch, which implements a virtual network by causing layer 2 packets to be encapsulated within a UDP encapsulation header so that the virtual network can extend across multiple layer 2 domains on a physical network, the service definition and configuration instructions for enabling the virtual machines connected to the virtual network to use the network service; create a service profile describing services available from the network service, the service profile including a particular configuration of parameters of the network service for use on a virtual machine of the virtual machines; and enable the network service for the one of the virtual machines by configuring, based on the service definition, the host on which the one of the virtual machines executes such that the network service is usable, wherein the configuring of the host includes configuring the virtual switch or ports thereof in the host with rules and/or filters to forward packets from the one of the virtual machines to one or more insertion points at which the network service software is installed to run.
