Abstract:
Some embodiments provide a method of tracking errors in a container cluster network overlaying a software defined network (SDN), sometimes referred to as a virtual network. The method sends a request to instantiate a container cluster network object to an SDN manager of the SDN. The method then receives an identifier of a network resource of the SDN for instantiating the container cluster network object. The method associates the identified network resource with the container cluster network object. The method then receives an error message regarding the network resource from the SDN manager. The method identifies the error message as applying to the container cluster network object. The error message, in some embodiments, indicates a failure to initialize the network resource. The container cluster network object may be a namespace, a pod of containers, or a service.
