US Patent 11855893 Tag-based cross-region segment management

Systems and methods are provided for management of network segments that cross geographic regions and/or other types of network divisions in a cloud-based network environment. A cloud-based network provider's geographically-dispersed network infrastructure may serve as the core of a client's private wide area network, and the client may define isolated segments to which other networks (virtual private clouds, virtual private networks, etc.) may be attached. The various segments may remain logically isolated from each other even when implemented across some or all of the same regions—and using the same physical and/or virtual routing components—as other segments of the same client and/or other clients.
