    摘要: Some embodiments of the invention provide a novel network architecture for deploying guest clusters (GCs) including workload machines for a tenant (or other entity) within an availability zone. The novel network architecture includes a virtual private cloud (VPC) deployed in the availability zone (AZ) that includes a centralized routing element that provides access to a gateway routing element of the AZ. In some embodiments, the centralized routing element provides a set of services for packets traversing a boundary of the VPC. The services, in some embodiments, include load balancing, firewall, quality of service (QoS) and may be stateful or stateless. Guest clusters are deployed within the VPC and use the centralized routing element of the VPC to access the gateway routing element of the AZ.
