Abstract
This disclosure describes techniques for configuring software defined network (SDN) controllers within different cloud computing domains and, in particular, a multi-cluster controller that operates and presents, in some examples, a single interface for seamlessly controlling and configuring SDN controllers in different cloud computing domains. In one example, this disclosure describes a system that includes a plurality of clusters, each of the plurality of clusters including a plurality of configurable endpoints; a storage system; and processing circuitry having access to the storage system and capable of communicating with each of the plurality of configurable endpoints. In some examples, the processing circuitry is configured to receive a plurality of requests, each specifying a configuration operation, identify, for each of the requests, a configuration cluster and a configuration endpoint within the configuration cluster, and perform, for each of the requests, the specified configuration operation.
