Systems and methods are provided for obtaining policy data associated with a private network implemented at least partly within a cloud provider network; establishing, based on the policy data, a first segment within the private network, wherein in a first geographic region of the cloud provider network, traffic associated with the first segment is isolated from traffic associated with a second segment of the private network, and wherein in a second geographic region of the cloud provider network, traffic associated with the first segment is isolated from traffic associated with a third segment of the private network; obtaining metadata indicating an isolated network of the cloud provider network is associated with the first segment; and enabling the isolated network to communicate, over the first segment, across the first geographic region and the second geographic region.

Network configuration analysis and management

Systems and methods are provided for evaluation of communication paths through networks to determine whether communication is permitted across one or more internal network boundaries. The analysis may be used to determine whether a node in one isolated network (e.g., VPC, VPN, client on-premise network, etc.) is able to communicate with a node in another isolated network across region and/or segment boundaries. The automated analysis can allow users (e.g., network administrators) to see what high-level policies (e.g., Cloud WAN policies written in a declarative language) are interfering with or permitting communication between the nodes.

Systems and methods are provided for evaluation of networks and changes thereto using automated analysis of network models. The automated analysis can be used to determine how to implement and mutate networks efficiently and effectively, to determine whether and why network resources are unable to communicate with each other, and the like. Automated analysis can allow users (e.g., network administrators) to define networks and pose changes to networks using high-level policies (e.g., written in a declarative language), have those polices automatically translated to lower-level implementation operations for analysis, and in some cases have results of the analysis presented back to the users in an easy-to-understand form.

Dynamic evaluation and implementation of network mutations

Systems and methods are provided for management of network segments that cross geographic regions and/or other types of network divisions in a cloud-based network environment. A cloud-based network provider's geographically-dispersed network infrastructure may serve as the core of a client's private wide area network, and the client may define isolated segments to which other networks (virtual private clouds, virtual private networks, etc.) may be attached. The various segments may remain logically isolated from each other even when implemented across some or all of the same regions—and using the same physical and/or virtual routing components—as other segments of the same client and/or other clients.
