Abstract
Some embodiments provide a method for performing services on a host computer that executes several machines in a datacenter. The method configures a first set of one or more service containers for a first machine executing on the host computer, and a second set of one or more service containers for a second machine executing on the host computer. Each configured service container performs a service operation on data messages associated with a particular machine. For each particular machine, the method also configures a module along the particular machine's datapath to identify a subset of service operations to perform on a set of data messages associated with the particular machine, and to direct the set of data messages to a set of service containers configured for the particular machine to perform the identified set of service operations on the set of data messages.
