Service Provider Interconnect APIs

Deprecation Notice

The Backbone and Connection APIs are now deprecated and have been replaced by the Service Provider (SP) Interconnect framework.

Key Terminology Changes:

  • Backbone is now Interconnect.
  • Connection is now VlanAttachment.

What You Should Do:

  1. Migrate Endpoints: Update API calls to the new /sp-interconnect/ directory structure.
  2. Update Resources: Align internal logic with the new SHARED and PER_TENANT types.

Overview​

Welcome to the Strata Cloud Manager Multitenant Service Provider (SP) Interconnect APIs.

The SP Interconnect API allows you to use Service Provider Interconnects (e.g., BT, Orange, AT&T) for directing Prisma Access egress traffic. Without SP Interconnect, traffic relies on public cloud backbones like GCP, AWS, and Azure. This framework provides enhanced security, optimized costs, and improved reliability.

Key Components​

  • Interconnects: The top-level resource grouping connectivity by region and cloud provider.
  • VlanAttachments: Virtual circuits (formerly "Connections") that facilitate data flow.
  • Physical VlanAttachments: Underlying physical infrastructure mapping.
  • IPPools: Managed IP sets attached directly to an Interconnect.
