US Patent 11171913 Systems and methods for implementing address translation services

Methods, system, and computer program product for implementing an address translation service that uses nondenominational address handles instead of IP addresses between private cloud domain and public cloud domains. The address translation service can be implemented to enable a data-center running in a private cloud domain to communicate with the public cloud domain data-center over load balancers. In addition, the address translation service ensures that all services that need to communicate across data-centers can be reached over load balancers. As such, to avoid conflicting subnets used by a data center from the private cloud domain and the public cloud domain, services in the public cloud domain use a private cloud load balancer to connect with the services in a private cloud domain. Similarly, a public cloud load balancer is used to connect with services in the private cloud domain.
