    Abstract: An example method of migrating a firewall policy between a first virtual data center and a second virtual data center includes: generating a static firewall from a firewall document at a first firewall server in the first virtual data center, the firewall document defining polices applied to groups of objects in the first virtual data center, the static firewall including firewall rule tuples; sending the static firewall from the first firewall server to a second firewall server in the second virtual data center; migrating a plurality of virtual machines (VMs) from the first virtual data center to the second virtual data center; and importing the firewall document from the first firewall server to the second firewall server by mapping the policies of the first firewall to groups of objects in an inventory of the second virtual data center.

    Abstract: A method is provided to control the flow of packets within a system that includes one or more computer networks comprising: policy rules are provided that set forth attribute dependent conditions for communications among machines on the one or more networks; machine attributes and corresponding machine identifiers are obtained for respective machines on the networks; and policy rules are transformed to firewall rules that include machine identifiers of machines having attributes from among the obtained machine attributes that satisfy the attribute dependent policy rules.

    Abstract: The order of migrating virtual computing instances from a private data center to a public cloud is optimized using a TSP solver. The method of migrating a plurality of virtual computing instances that are in communication with each other within a private data center to a public cloud includes the steps of assigning, for each different pair of virtual computing instances, a numerical value that represents an amount of data transmission between the pair over a predetermined period of time, determining a recommended order of migration for the virtual computing instances based on the assigned numerical values, and migrating the virtual computing instances according to the recommended order.

    Abstract: One or more embodiments provide a firewall policy between a first virtual data center and a second virtual data center. A method includes: establishing a communication link between a first firewall server in the first virtual data center and a second firewall server in the second virtual data center over a network, the first firewall server having a first firewall defined by polices applied to groups of objects in the first virtual data center; obtaining, at the first firewall server, an inventory of objects in the second virtual data center from the second firewall server; determining firewall rule tuples by mapping the policies of the first firewall to groups of objects in the inventory of the second virtual data center; and sending the firewall rule tuples to enforcement points in the second virtual data center.

    Abstract: Techniques disclosed herein relate to migrating virtual computing instances such as virtual machines (VMs). In one embodiment, VMs are migrated across different virtual infrastructure platforms by, among other things, translating between resource models used by virtual infrastructure managers (VIMs) that manage the different virtual infrastructure platforms. VM migrations may also be validated prior to being performed, including based on resource policies that define what is and/or is not allowed to migrate, thereby providing compliance and controls for borderless data centers. In addition, an agent-based technique may be used to migrate VMs and physical servers to virtual infrastructure, without requiring access to an underlying hypervisor layer.
