Abstract
A plurality of network nodes are configured to form a virtual logical network over a plurality of broadcast domains. Configuring the virtual logical network includes configuring at least one of the nodes in the plurality of nodes to broadcast routes to IP addresses hosted on nodes in the plurality of network nodes between nodes in the plurality of broadcast domains. A primary workload hosted on a first node in the plurality of nodes is configured to share ownership of an IP address with a secondary workload hosted on a second node in the plurality of nodes. In response to detecting a failure indication associated with the primary workload, an IP address failover procedure for the shared IP address is performed between the primary workload and the secondary workload.
