In one example, a cloud-based services exchange comprises a plurality of interconnection assets configured to connect a customer of the cloud-based services exchange to one or more cloud service providers, the plurality of interconnection assets including a virtual circuit by which the customer accesses a cloud service from the one or more cloud service providers; and an orchestration engine configured to modify the plurality of interconnection assets.

In general, this disclosure describes techniques for coordinating, with a cloud exchange, automated cloud-based disaster recovery across containers from a failed cloud service to a backup cloud service. In some examples, an orchestration engine for a cloud exchange is configured to: detect an indication of a disruption in a first cloud service provided by a first cloud service provider network coupled to the cloud exchange to send and receive data packets via the cloud exchange; provision, in response to detecting the indication of the disruption in the first cloud service, disaster recovery infrastructure layers in containers of a second cloud service provided by a second cloud service provider network coupled to the cloud exchange; obtain code and state from containers of the first cloud service; and communicate the code and state to the disaster recovery infrastructure layers in the containers of the second cloud service.

In some examples, a customer churn risk engine is configured to query at least one of co-location data indicating co-location facility usage by a particular co-location facility customer and telemetry data indicating interconnections established between the particular co-location facility customer and at least one additional co-location facility customer within at least one co-location facility operated by a co-location facility provider. The customer churn risk engine is further configured to generate, based at least in part on at least one of the co-location data and the telemetry data, a churn risk score for the particular co-location facility customer. The customer churn risk engine is configured to output the churn risk score for the particular co-location facility customer.

In one example, a cloud exchange comprises an interconnection platform of a network data center to configure a plurality of interconnection assets of the network data center to interconnect customer networks of a plurality of customer networks co-located in the network data center, the interconnection platform comprising: a network event unit controller configured to receive an indication of a network event of an interconnection asset of the plurality of interconnection assets; generate, in response to the network device report message, one or more network event messages based on the network event, wherein each of the network event messages includes an indication of the network event; and send the one or more network event messages to one or more customer systems for respective customer networks of the plurality of customer networks, wherein the one or more customer systems are affected by the network event.

In some examples, a method includes querying, by a magnetic score engine executing at a computing device, first telemetry data indicating one or more interconnections established between a first co-location facility customer and at least one additional co-location facility customer within at least one co-location facility operated by a co-location facility provider. The method further includes generating, by the magnetic score engine and based at least in part on the first telemetry data, a magnetic score for the first co-location facility customer, the magnetic score indicating an importance of the first co-location facility customer to the least one additional co-location facility customer being co-located at the at least one co-location facility. The method further includes outputting, by the magnetic score engine and for display at a display device, the magnetic score for the first co-location facility customer.

Techniques for hot swapping and hot scaling containers between cloud services are disclosed. In one example, a method includes storing, with a cloud exchange, data indicating an association of a first container of a first private network with a second container of a second private network, wherein the first private network and the second private network are coupled to the cloud exchange to send and receive data packets via the cloud exchange. The method further includes sending, with the cloud exchange based on the association, state of the first container to the second container.

Hot swapping and hot scaling containers

In one example, described herein is an interconnection platform for dynamically configuring and managing a cloud-based services exchange, or 'cloud exchange,' to facilitate virtual interconnections ('virtual circuits') for cloud services delivery from cloud service providers to one or more cloud customers. As described herein, the interconnection platform facilitates event-driven notification to push virtual circuit configuration status updates to customer systems of customers of the cloud exchange provider that interface with the interconnection platform.

Interconnection platform with event-driven notification for a cloud exchange

Techniques are disclosed for facilitating inter-container communications, via a cloud exchange, for containers executing at logically isolated networks. In one example, the techniques of the disclosure provide a method including sending, by a container to a cloud exchange via an application programming interface exposed by an interconnection platform of the cloud exchange, container registration data for the container, the container registration data including a network address for a host that executes the container and a container identifier for the container.

Virtual network inter-container communication

In one example, an application development framework system comprises a microservice platform for developing and executing a plurality of microservices, wherein each microservice of the microservices comprises an independently-deployable service configured to execute one or more functions to fulfill an interface contract for an interface for the microservice; and an orchestration platform for developing and executing an orchestrator to orchestrate the microservices to execute an interconnection platform for a cloud-based services exchange configured to interconnect, using one or more virtual circuits, customers of the cloud-based services exchange.

Microservice-based application development framework

Techniques are described for monitoring resource consumption, detecting faults, and predicting future faults with internal or customer-facing portal applications that engage data center operations for supporting co-location and, in some cases, interconnection by customers of a co-location provider. For example, an operational intelligence engine for portal applications deployed by a co-location provider stitches together transactions records and logs based on a unique identifier inserted into transactions performed by multiple system applications that execute the portal transactions through a lifecycle of requests and events for the portal and system applications.

Data center portal applications monitoring

In some examples, a cloud-based services exchange comprises a plurality of interconnection assets configured to connect at least one customer of the cloud-based services exchange to a plurality of cloud service providers; and an orchestration engine configured to modify the plurality of interconnection assets by receiving an indication of a client request for cloud exchange services offered by the cloud-based services exchange; selecting a workflow for providing the cloud exchange services, wherein the workflow specifies a set of tasks to be performed to fulfill the client request for the cloud exchange services; call one or more microservices to perform the tasks of the set of tasks as specified by the selected workflow; consolidate responses received from the microservices after performing the tasks; and send a response to the client request for the cloud exchange services based on the consolidated responses.
