Anycast addressing and policy-based forwarding configuration for multi-account configurations of a tenant

One or more non-transitory machine-readable media having program code stored thereon, the program code comprising instructions to:

• based on indication of deployment of one or more resources for an account in a data center, configure an Internet Protocol (IP) address pool for the account from routable address space of a network fabric;
• allocate an anycast IP address for the account from the routable address space of the network fabric;
• create a policy-based forwarding rule to forward network traffic indicating a source IP address within the IP address pool and a destination IP address corresponding to the one or more resources to the anycast IP address;
• and
• configure one or more network elements of the network fabric with the policy-based forwarding rule.

An apparatus comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a machine-readable medium having instructions stored thereon that are executable by the processor to cause the apparatus to,
• based on indication of deployment of a first resource for a first account in a first data center, configure a first Internet Protocol (IP) address pool for the first account from routable address space of a network fabric;
• allocate a first anycast IP address for the first account from the routable address space of the network fabric;
• create a first policy-based forwarding rule, wherein the first policy-based forwarding rule is a rule to forward network traffic that indicates a source IP address within the first IP address pool and a destination IP address corresponding to the first resource to the first anycast IP address;
• and
• configure one or more elements of the network fabric with the first policy-based forwarding rule.
