Allocating addresses from pools

A method comprising:

• creating a plurality of objects in a virtualized computing infrastructure, each of the plurality of objects being inaccessible to any other object in the plurality of objects, and wherein the plurality of objects includes a first object and a second object;
• for each of the plurality of objects, associating a different pool of addresses having a range of addresses for use by the object;
• configuring the first object with an address drawn from a pool of addresses associated with the first object;
• enabling the first object to service a request sent to the address;
• configuring the second object with the address;
• and
• enabling, after configuring the second object with the address, the second object to service a later request sent to the address.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions that, when executed, configure processing circuitry of a computing system to:

• create a plurality of objects in a virtualized computing infrastructure, each of the plurality of objects being inaccessible to any other object in the plurality of objects, and wherein the plurality of objects includes a first object and a second object;
• for each of the plurality of objects, associate a different pool of addresses having a range of addresses for use by the object;
• configure the first object with an address drawn from a pool of addresses associated with the first object;
• enable the first object to service a request sent to the address;
• configure the second object with the address;
• and
• enable, after configuring the second object with the address, the second object to service a later request sent to the address.
