    Abstract: Some embodiments of the invention provide a method for deploying software-implemented resources in a software defined datacenter (SDDC). The method initially receives a hierarchical API command that, in a declarative format, specifies several operation requests for several software-defined (SD) resources at several resource levels of a resource hierarchy in the SDDC. The method parses the API command to identify the SD resources at the plurality of resource levels. Based on the parsed API command, the method deploys the SD resources by using a deployment process that ensures that any first SD resource on which a second SD resource depends is deployed before the second resource. In some embodiments, a second SD resource depends on a first SD resource when the second SD resource is a child of the first SD resource. Alternatively, or conjunctively, a second SD resource can also depend on a first SD resource in some embodiments when the second SD resource has some operational dependency on the first SD resource. In some embodiments, the method parses the API command by identifying several sets of SD resources, with each set having one or more SD resources at one resource level. The deployment in some embodiments deploys the identified SD resource sets at higher resource levels before deploying SD resources at lower resource levels.

    Abstract: Some embodiments of the invention provide a method for processing requests for performing operations on resources in a software defined datacenter (SDDC). The resources are software-defined (SD) resources in some embodiments. The method initially receives a request to perform an operation with respect to a first resource in the SDDC. The method identifies a policy that matches (i.e., is applicable to) the received request for the first resource by comparing a set of attributes of the request with sets of attributes of a set of policies that place constraints on operations specified for resources. In some embodiments, several sets of attributes for several policies can be expressed for resources at different hierarchal resource levels of the SDDC. The method rejects the received request when the identified policy specifies that the requested operation violates a constraint on operations specified for the first resource.

    Abstract: Some embodiments provide a method for deploying network management services for a group of datacenters. From a tenant of a network management system deployed in a container cluster of the public cloud, the method receives (i) a definition of a group of datacenters for the network management system to manage and (ii) a selection of a set of network management services from a plurality of network management services offered by the network management service. For each respective selected network management service, the method defines a respective namespace of the container cluster. The method deploys each respective selected network management service as a plurality of microservices in the respective namespace.

    Abstract: Some embodiments provide a method for one of multiple shared API processing services in a container cluster that implements a network policy manager shared between multiple tenants. The method receives a configuration request from a particular tenant to modify a logical network configuration for the particular tenant. Configuration requests from the plurality of tenants are balanced across the plurality of shared API processing services. Based on the received configuration request, the method posts a logical network configuration change to a configuration queue in the cluster. The configuration queue is dedicated to the logical network of the particular tenant. Services are instantiated separately in the container cluster for each tenant to distribute configuration changes from the respective configuration queues for the tenants to datacenters that implement the tenant logical networks such that configuration changes for one tenant do not slow down processing of configuration changes for other tenants.
