Abstract:
Techniques are provided for implementing a zone-based firewall policy. At a virtual network device, information is defined and stored that represents a security management zone for a virtual firewall policy comprising one or more common attributes of applications associated with the security zone. Information representing a firewall rule for the security zone is defined and comprises first conditions for matching common attributes of applications associated with the security zone and an action to be performed on application traffic. Parameters associated with the application traffic are received that are associated with properly provisioned virtual machines. A determination is made whether the application traffic parameters satisfy the conditions of the firewall rule and in response to determining that the conditions are satisfied, the action is performed.
Abstract:
A sense of location is provided for distributed virtual switch components into the service provisioning scheme to reduce latency observed in conducting policy evaluations across a network in a hybrid cloud environment. A management application in a first virtual network subscribes to virtual network services provided by a second virtual network. A first message is sent to the second virtual network, the first message comprising information configured to start a virtual switch in the second virtual network that switches network traffic for one or more virtual machines in the second virtual network that are configured to extend services provided by the first virtual network into the second virtual network. A second message is sent to the second virtual network, the second message comprising information configured to start a virtual service node in the second virtual network that provides network traffic services for the one or more virtual machines.

A management application in a first virtual network subscribes to virtual network services provided by a first virtual service node in the first virtual network.

The second virtual network starts a second virtual service node in the second virtual network that provides network traffic services for the one or more virtual machines.

Abstract:
Presented herein are elastic service chain techniques. In one example, a network element receives data traffic to be processed by a service chain that specifies an ordered sequence of service pools including a first service pool and second service pool, wherein each service pool comprises a plurality of network services. A network service is determined from the first service pool to be applied to the data traffic, and data traffic is forwarded to the network service in the first service pool.
