Abstract:
Some embodiments of the invention provide a method for processing requests for performing operations on resources in a software defined datacenter (SDDC). The resources are software-defined (SD) resources in some embodiments. The method initially receives a request to perform an operation with respect to a first resource in the SDDC. The method identifies a policy that matches (i.e., is applicable to) the received request for the first resource by comparing a set of attributes of the request with sets of attributes of a set of policies that place constraints on operations specified for resources. In some embodiments, several sets of attributes for several policies can be expressed for resources at different hierarchal resource levels of the SDDC. The method rejects the received request when the identified policy specifies that the requested operation violates a constraint on operations specified for the first resource.
