Abstract
Some embodiments provide a method of implementing service rules for a container cluster that is configured by a first SDN controller cluster. The method registers for event notification from an application programming interface (API) server to receive notification regarding events associated with resources deployed in the container cluster. The method forwards to a second SDN controller cluster resource identifiers collected through the registration for resources of the container cluster. The second SDN controller cluster defines service policies that are not defined by the first SDN controller cluster. The method receives, from the second SDN controller cluster, service policies defined by the second SDN controller cluster based on the resource identifiers. The method distributes service rules defined based on the service policies to network elements in the container cluster to enforce on data messages associated with machines deployed in the container cluster configured by the first SDN controller cluster.
