Abstract
A method for network address management is provided. Embodiments include determining a creation of a namespace associated with a cluster of computing devices, wherein a subset of computing resources of the cluster of computing devices is allocated to the namespace. Embodiments include assigning, to the namespace, a network address pool comprising a plurality of network addresses in a subnet, wherein the assigning causes the plurality of network addresses to be reserved exclusively for the namespace. Embodiments include receiving an indication that a pod is added to the namespace. Embodiments include, in response to the receiving of the indication, assigning a network address from the network address pool to the pod.
