Abstract
Described herein are systems, methods, and software to enhance connectivity between cloud computing service endpoints and virtual machines. In one implementation, a method of managing data packet addressing in a first namespace includes receiving a data packet at a first interface for the first namespace, wherein the first interface is paired with a second interface of a second namespace. The method also includes identifying if the packet is destined for a service node in an underlay network outside of an overlay network for the second namespace, and if destined for a service node outside of an overlay network for the second namespace, modifying addressing in the data packet to support the underlay network and transferring the data packet over a virtual network interface for the virtual machine.
