Abstract: Some embodiments of the invention provide a method for identifying network resources related to an intent-based Application Programming Interface (API) request for a service to be implemented for a network. The method, in some embodiments, is performed by an API server (e.g., executing on a master node) in a Kubernetes network. The API server receives sets of criteria for identifying network resources related to the requested service and sets of instructions for retrieving information associated with network resources identified by the sets of criteria. The sets of criteria and sets of instructions are based on an API request for a resource selector object. The resource selector object, in some embodiments, is a custom resource that is used to define the sets of criteria and the sets of instructions and is based on a custom resource definition (CRD) provided by a user.

Abstract: The disclosure provides a method for assigning containerized workloads to isolated network constructs within a networking environment associated with a container-based cluster. The method generally includes receiving, at the container-based cluster, a subnet port custom resource specification to initiate creation of a subnet port object to assign a node to a subnet within the networking environment, wherein one or more containerized workloads are running on the node, in response to receiving the subnet port custom resource specification, creating the subnet port object, and modifying a state of the container-based cluster to match a first intended state of the container-based cluster at least specified in the subnet port object, wherein modifying the state comprises assigning the node to the subnet in the networking environment.
