Abstract
The disclosure provides an approach for dynamically reprogramming network and network infrastructure in response to VM mobility. The approach provides a hypervisor layer that can observe changes in VM-host relationships and reprogram the associated network and network infrastructure to maintain network communication. The hypervisor layer notifies a controller of a data center to migrate an ENI of the migrated VM to the same destination host as the migrated VM, in response to VM migration.
