Abstract: Techniques for defining a service flow definition among container pods that provide services in a network. The techniques may include an orchestrator of a computer network platform of the network determining which container pods need to communicate with which container pods. The service flow definition thus indicates needed paths between the container pods. In configurations, a cluster topology may be determined where the cluster topology indicates corresponding nodes of the network in which each container pod is located, as well as end points of the network with which the corresponding nodes communicate. Based at least in part on the service flow definition and the cluster topology, corresponding route distribution policies may be determined for the end points. The corresponding route distribution policies may be applied to the end points.
