The present disclosure provides dynamic routing for data flows to a customer network hosted in the cloud. A plurality of compute instances may share a common virtual IP address. Each of the plurality of compute instances may advertise information to a respective network virtualization device (NVD). The information may include the IP address, cost, and/or active/standby status of the compute instance. The NVD may then provide the information to the control plane of a virtual cloud network (VCN), which may aggregate the information from the plurality of compute instances and generate a forwarding table, which may be sent to the NVDs. These techniques may allow a customer to automatically remove a compute instance whose service host has failed. These techniques may also allow a customer to add compute instances and to route data flows according to an active-standby operation, an equal cost active-active operation, or an unequal cost active-active operation.
