Abstract
The technology described in this paper relates to generating network configurations utilizing a stateless, policy-driven architecture. The technology utilizes a centralized database storing applicable policies as the source of truth rather than persistently storing fully constructed configurations. During configuration updates, a system for generating the network configurations retrieves the applicable policies, updated with the current state and regenerates the network configurations entirely from scratch. A multi-phase translation process handles dynamic parameter constraints by gathering parameters, generating mutually exclusive and exhaustive override blocks using a recursive algorithm, and mapping applicable policies to these generated blocks via a soft matching process. This stateless approach improves scalability, simplifies error recovery, and prevents the retention of orphaned or corrupted configuration data. Furthermore, the stateless model enables consumer-side policy scoping, allowing service consumers to define custom policies that are dynamically applied only to their respective clients within the mesh without impacting the global configuration or other consumers.
