Abstract

The subject matter described herein provides virtual computing instance (VCI) component protection against networking failures in a datacenter cluster. Networking routes at the host level, VCI level, and application level are monitored for connectivity. Failures are communicated to a primary host or to a datacenter virtualization infrastructure that initiates policy-based remediation, such as moving affected VCIs to another host in the cluster that has all the necessary networking routes functional.
