    Abstract: Some embodiments provide a method for generating a multi-layer network map from network configuration data. The method receives network configuration data that defines network components and connections between the network components for a network that spans one or more datacenters. Based on the received network configuration data, the method generates multiple data layers for a multi-layer interactive map of the network. Different data layers include different network components and connections. The method generates a visual representation of the network for each data layer. Each visual representation includes a map of the network at a different level of hierarchy.

    Abstract: Some embodiments provide a novel method for configuring a set of service one or more nodes on a host to perform context-rich, attribute-based services on the host computer, which executes several data compute nodes (DCNs) in addition to the set of service nodes. The method uses a context-filtering node on the host to collect a first set of attributes associated with service rules processed by the set of service nodes on the host computer. The context filter also collects a second set of attributes associated with at least one data message flow of a DCN (e.g., of a virtual machine (VM) or container) executing on the host. After collecting the first and second sets of attributes, the context filtering node on the host compares the first and second sets of attributes to generate a service tag to represent a subset of the first set of attributes associated with the data message flow. The method associates this service tag with the data message flow. This service tag can then be used to identify the subset of attributes associated with the data message flow when a service node needs to process its attribute-based service rules for the data message flow.

    Abstract: Systems and techniques are described for virtual machine security. A described technique includes operating one or more virtual machines each in accordance with a respective security container, wherein the respective security container is associated with a respective rule that specifies transfer of the virtual machine from the respective security container to a quarantine container based on one or more criteria. One or more security services are operated on the one or more virtual machines to identify one or more security threats associated with one or more of the virtual machines. One or more tags generated by the endpoint security services are obtained, where each tag is for a virtual machine that is associated with one of the identified security threats. And one of the virtual machines is identified as requiring transfer to the quarantine container based on, at least, one or more of the Obtained tags and the one or more criteria.

    Abstract: Some embodiments of the invention provide a novel architecture for capturing contextual attributes on host computers that execute one or more machines, and for consuming the captured contextual attributes to perform services on the host computers. The machines are virtual machines (VMs) in some embodiments, containers in other embodiments, or a mix of VMs and containers in still other embodiments. Some embodiments execute a guest-introspection (GI) agent on each machine from which contextual attributes need to be captured. In addition to executing one or more machines on each host computer, these embodiments also execute a context engine and one or more attribute-based service engines on each host computer. Through the GI agents of the machines on a host, the context engine of that host in some embodiments collects contextual attributes associated with network events and/or process events on the machines. The context engine then provides the contextual attributes to the service engines, which, in turn, use these contextual attributes to identify service rules for processing.
