Abstract: Some embodiments provide a method for a network management and control system that manages a virtual infrastructure deployed across a plurality of sites. The method receives a definition of an application to be deployed in the virtual infrastructure. The application definition specifying a first set of the sites at which to deploy the application. Based on the definition of the application, the method assigns the application to a set of security zones defined for the virtual infrastructure. Each respective security zone is restricted to a respective set of the sites. The method deploys the application in a second set of sites based on the first set of sites and the sets of sites to which the set of security zones are restricted.

Abstract: Some embodiments provide a method for network management and control system that manages one or more logical networks. From a first user, the method receives a definition of one or more security zones for a logical network. Each security zone definition includes a set of security rules for data compute nodes (DCNs) assigned to the security zone. From a second user, the method receives a definition of an application to be deployed in the logical network. The application definition specifies a set of requirements. Based on the specified set of requirements, the method assigns DCNs implementing the application to one or more of the security zones for the logical network.

Abstract: Some embodiments of the invention provide a method for deploying software-implemented resources in a software defined datacenter (SDDC). The method initially receives a hierarchical API command that, in a declarative format, specifies several operation requests for several software-defined (SD) resources at several resource levels of a resource hierarchy in the SDDC. The method parses the API command to identify the SD resources at the plurality of resource levels. Based on the parsed API command, the method deploys the SD resources by using a deployment process that ensures that any first SD resource on which a second SD resource depends is deployed before the second resource. In some embodiments, a second SD resource depends on a first SD resource when the second SD resource is a child of the first SD resource. Alternatively, or conjunctively, a second SD resource can also depend on a first SD resource in some embodiments when the second SD resource has some operational dependency on the first SD resource. In some embodiments, the method parses the API command by identifying several sets of SD resources, with each set having one or more SD resources at one resource level. The deployment in some embodiments deploys the identified SD resource sets at higher resource levels before deploying SD resources at lower resource levels.
