Abstract
Some embodiments provide a method for configuring a logical router implemented in a Kubernetes cluster. The method receives configuration data specifying a service rule for the logical router. The service rule requires processing of L5-L7 headers of data messages sent to the logical router. Based on the service rule, the method defines (i) a redirection rule specifying a set of data messages to which the service rule applies based on L2-L4 header values and (ii) an L5-L7 processing rule for application of the service rule. the method provides the redirection rule to a first set of Pods in the cluster and the L5-L7 processing rule to a second set of Pods in the cluster.
