Abstract
Provided are a computer program product, system, and method for assigning network addresses from a subnet of network addresses to pods in a host node. For each host node of a plurality of host nodes, a network address and a subnet of network addresses are provided for the host node. Each of the host nodes includes a different subnet of network addresses to assign to pods executing in the host node. The pods comprise units of computing deployed at the host nodes. Containers in the pods in different host nodes communicate using network addresses from the subnets of network addresses assigned to the different host nodes. A network address is assigned to a new pod at a host node from the subnet of network addresses unique to the host node including the new pod.
