Reconciler engine(s) for managing external resources within a cloud-based environment

Abstract

Various embodiments of the present technology generally relate to a VnicSet operator system containing instructions to implement a process to manage a virtual network interface controller (Vnic) on an application pod of a containerized software environment, the Vnic being directly reachable from a network external to the containerized software environment. In an aspect, the VnicSet operator may include a reconciler engine that determines one or more reconciliation actions for one or more Vnics. The reconciler engine may determine a first reconciliation action for a first worker node and acquire a node lock for the first worker node based on the first reconciliation action. Responsive to acquiring the node lock, the reconciler engine may transmit a first reconciliation action request to a cloud provider, where the cloud provider performs the first reconciliation action responsive to receiving the first reconciliation action request.
