MANAGEMENT OF SOFTWARE DEFINED NETWORK CONFIGURATION DATA BASED ON HASH TREES

Abstract:

Described herein are systems and methods to manage and update software defined networking configurations on computing elements of a computing environment. In one example, a networking controller service may obtain hashes that correspond to a hash tree generated from software defined networking configuration data received by a computing element. The networking controller service may further compare the hashes to expected hashes for the computing element and determine that at least a portion of the software defined networking configuration data on the computing element requires an update based on the comparison. Once identified, the networking controller service may communicate the update to the computing element.
