Abstract
Some embodiments provide a novel method for performing services on a host computer that executes several data compute nodes (DCNs). The method receives, at a module executing on the host, a data message associated with a DCN executing on the host. The method supplies the data message to a service virtual machine (SVM) that executes on the host and on which several service containers execute. One or more of the service containers then perform a set of one or more services on the data message. The method then receives an indication from the SVM that the set of services has been performed on the data message.
