The proposed Layer 2 transparent network, bridging VM and Container networks, is a software-defined network for AI services deployment. The cloud provider offers a tenant-aware and transparent combining VM and Container network into the same network domain. The benefits of this network are to provide the full Layer 2 network and to reduce communication overhead in the multi-tenant cloud system. The tenant can deploy its services in VMs and Containers. The communications among VMs and containers are in the same Layer 2 domain. It could reduce routing efforts and isolate the network traffic among different tenants.
