1. A method for virtual entity resource management in a multi-cluster environment, the method comprising:

  • maintaining a network map of inter-cluster connections across multiple clusters, wherein an individual cluster of the multiple clusters maintains only a subset of the network map, and wherein the network map comprises routing data that refers to next hop access points;

    receiving a resource management request at an access point, wherein the resource management request comprises a request parameter pertaining to a virtual machine at a cluster of the multiple clusters, and the virtual machine is associated with a target access point;

    applying the request parameter to routing data at the access point to identify a next hop access point;

    routing the resource management request to the next hop access point on a route to the target access point;

    receiving the resource management request at the next hop access point and accessing routing data at the next hop access point to identify a further next hop on the route to the target access point; and

    synchronizing at least a portion of the routing data with at least one interconnected cluster.
