Abstract
Techniques for providing a standardized interface that is configured to provide application developers with ways for interacting with different wide area network controllers. A standardized interface may include an application programming interface (API) server that can receive a connectivity request associated with an application that is to be hosted on an application orchestration system. The API server may determine, based at least in part on the connectivity request, a vendor network to be used by the application to send traffic to a remote service. Based at least in part on determining the vendor network, the API server may translate the connectivity request into a first format that is understandable by a controller of the vendor network. The API server may also provide the connectivity request in the first format to the controller of the vendor network such that a path through the vendor network can be determined.
