Allocating external IP addresses from isolated pools

Abstract:

Techniques are described for creating isolated pools of external, failover, and/or floating IP addresses. In one example, this disclosure describes a method including creating a plurality of virtual networks, creating a plurality of pools of external IP addresses, detecting a request to instantiate an object that identifies a specific pool from the plurality of pools of external IP addresses; and instantiating the object and configuring the object with an external IP address drawn from the specific pool. The pools of external IP addresses may be created and isolated on a per-namespace, per-service, or per-ingress basis.
