Abstract
Some embodiments provide a method for one of multiple shared API processing services in a container cluster that implements a network policy manager shared between multiple tenants. The method receives a configuration request from a particular tenant to modify a logical network configuration for the particular tenant. Configuration requests from the plurality of tenants are balanced across the plurality of shared API processing services. Based on the received configuration request, the method posts a logical network configuration change to a configuration queue in the cluster. The configuration queue is dedicated to the logical network of the particular tenant. Services are instantiated separately in the container cluster for each tenant to distribute configuration changes from the respective configuration queues for the tenants to datacenters that implement the tenant logical networks such that configuration changes for one tenant do not slow down processing of configuration changes for other tenants.
