Abstract

In an approach, a processor creates a local first Pod API object in a first lower Kubernetes cluster based on a first Pod API object in an upper Kubernetes cluster, where: the local first Pod API object includes internal and external network descriptions for a Pod described in the local first Pod API object, and the upper cluster manages the first and second lower Kubernetes cluster. A processor adds an annotation for the Pod to the local first Pod API object and the first Pod API object. A processor creates a local endpoint API object in the first lower cluster based on an endpoint API object in the upper cluster and annotations of Pods in the upper cluster. A processor redirects the first request to the endpoint of the second Pod described in the local endpoint API object.
