Abstract

Grouping virtualized computing instances in cloud environments can be achieved utilizing groups of network endpoints, such as hardware devices, virtualized computing instances, etc. The network endpoint group (NEG) provides a logical grouping for providers of backend services that may be arranged on the network endpoints, and may be organized based on the backend service to be provided by the computing environments that operate as network endpoints. For example, the NEGs may be implemented for load balancing applications. The network endpoint groups, and the network endpoints included therein, may be managed using a framework of tools, libraries and application programming interfaces.
