Internet bound traffic that is being routed through a particular interface within an edge router can, under some circumstances, be moved to a different interface. In some situations, one or more Internet protocol (IP) flows can be moved to a different interface within the same edge router. In other situations, one or more IP flows can be moved to a different interface within a different edge router. Decisions to move Internet traffic to a different interface can be based on information about interfaces within the various edge routers in a cloud computing provider's network, information about IP flows that are being sent through the various interfaces, peering capacity information and information about the latency associated with particular Internet paths. Some or all of the information that is used in connection with traffic steering decisions can be based on real-time measurements.

Dynamic egress traffic steering for large scale cloud network

A connectivity state mapping system for mapping physical connections between interfaces of devices in a network is provided. The system includes at least one processor, at least one memory, and an application including instructions, which are executable by the at least one processor. The instructions are configured to: group the interfaces into groups; select one of the groups based on a predetermined fault plan; determine utilization parameters; based on the utilization parameters, cause at least one fault in one or more of the interfaces in the selected group; monitor events corresponding to the at least one fault and log data indicative of errors detected at the interfaces of the selected one of the groups; and based on the at least one fault and the predetermined fault plan, correlate the data to identify physical connections between two or more of the devices in the network.

Deployment and execution of a service in a multiple datacenter environment may be facilitated using datacenter execution templates. Developers, business managers, and other interested parties may select and/or modify a declarative execution template embodying multiple factors. The execution template may then be used to generate an execution plan, which is then executed by datacenters which run the service. The execution template may be optimized after deployment of the service, allowing for ongoing adjustment in response to changing business, regulatory, and operational factors.
