Abstract: Some embodiments of the invention provide a method for presenting a visualization of a logical network that spans multiple geographically dispersed sites. For each logical element in a set of logical elements of the logical network, the method identifies a set of sites spanned by the logical element. Through a user interface (UI), the method displays a visualization of a topology of the logical network, the visualization including (1) representations for the logical elements and for logical connections between the logical elements and (2) at least a first set of UI items specifying each site of the multiple sites spanned by the logical network to indicate, for each logical element represented in the visualization, the set of sites spanned by the logical element.

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 provide a method for presenting a visualization of a topology for a logical network. In response to receiving a selection of a particular user interface (UI) item representing a particular group of logical elements, the method presents one or more filter UI items for the particular group of logical elements. Each filter UI item corresponds to a different attribute associated with the logical elements. Upon receiving selection of one or more attribute states for each attribute for which a filter UI item is presented, the method identifies logical elements in the group of logical elements that match the selected attribute states. The method presents, in the UI, an expanded version of the particular group of logical elements that emphasizes the identified logical elements that match the selected attribute states.

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.
