Policy-based network transmission routing is provided by accessing routing metadata in a wrapper of the transmission packet, the routing metadata representing a feature of the source or the destination, comparing the routing metadata to routing policy data associated with each of multiple routing policies defined within a routing policy structure, identifying, based on the comparing, one or more routing policies applicable to the transmission packet, identifying, based on the routing policy data, a highest priority routing policy from the one or more routing policies, the highest priority routing policy defining a route constraint usable to limit a selection of available routes to the destination, and selecting the route from the available routes based on the route constraint.

Policy-based network transmission routing

A method for facilitating communication between resources in different virtual networks includes creating a first virtual network and a second virtual network within a cloud computing system and creating a first subnet within the first virtual network and a second subnet within the second virtual network. The method also includes mapping the first subnet to the second subnet such that the resources in the first subnet and the second subnet are able to communicate with each other using private address space. The method also includes routing data packets between the first subnet and the second subnet.

Mapping subnets in different virtual networks using private address space

The techniques described herein enable a private connectivity solution between a virtual network of a service consumer and a virtual network of a service provider in a cloud-based platform. The techniques map a service (e.g., one or more workloads or containers) executing in the virtual network of the service provider into the virtual network of the service consumer. The mapping uses network address translation (NAT) that is performed by the cloud-based infrastructure. As a result of the techniques described herein, a public Internet Protocol (IP) address does not need to be used to establish a connection thereby alleviating privacy and/or security concerns for the virtual networks of the service provider and/or the service consumer that are hosted by the cloud-based platform.
