    Abstract: Some embodiments provide an automated method for defining externally routable Pods within a Kubernetes cluster. In some embodiments, the Pod operates in a guest cluster has its own VPC (virtual private cloud) network in a datacenter with several other guest clusters that have their own VPC networks and their own set of managers. In some embodiments, a Pod within a GC can be made externally routable so that it can be directly addressable from an external client outside of the Pod's network by using two new Kubernetes CRDs (custom resource definitions), which are an IPPool CRD and a RouteSet CRD. Examples of such external clients include VMs or Pods in another GC or a supervisor cluster connected to the particular GC through a gateway, or from a machine outside of the network of all of the GCs or SC.

    Abstract: Some embodiments of the invention provide a method for deploying network elements for a set of machines in a set of one or more datacenters. The datacenter set is part of one availability zone in some embodiments. The method receives intent-based API (Application Programming Interface) requests, and parses these API requests to identify a set of network elements to connect and/or perform services for the set of machines. In some embodiments, the API is a hierarchical document that can specify multiple different compute and/or network elements at different levels of compute and/or network element hierarchy. The method performs automated processes to define a virtual private cloud (VPC) to connect the set of machines to a logical network that segregates the set of machines from other machines in the datacenter set. In some embodiments, the set of machines include virtual machines and containers, the VPC is defined with a supervisor cluster namespace, and the API requests are provided as YAML files.
