    Abstract: A request to create a set of security policies for an application is received at a graphical user interface. Information identifying a set of source VMs, a set of destination VMs, and a set of target VMs also are received, wherein the target VMs are executing the application and are supported by (a) node(s) in a clustered virtualization environment. A set of inbound rules identifying (a) category(ies) of source VMs permitted to initiate connections with a subset of target VMs and a set of outbound rules identifying (a) category(ies) of destination VMs to which the subset of target VMs are permitted to initiate connections are received at the graphical user interface. Upon receiving a request to apply the security policies, the policies are configured based at least in part on the inbound and outbound rules and a visual representation of the security policies is presented in the graphical user interface.

    Abstract: A system and method includes an orchestration engine to determine workloads associated with operations on cloud platforms. The orchestration engine can receive a request to a universal application programming interface (API) or a request to an API associated with a cloud platform. The orchestration engine can determine the workload associated with the operation, and select one or more cloud platforms to distribute the workload based at least on a policy. The system and method also includes a lifecycle management engine that can receive requests to implement lifecycle rules on an object stored at a cloud platform. The lifecycle management engine can translate received requests to one API into requests to an API associated with a target cloud platform. The lifecycle management engine can receive status of the object from the target cloud platform, and provide the status to the requesting client.

    Abstract: A method of eliminating false positives when testing a device management platform for controlling endpoints. The method includes sending, by a computing device, a request to a cloud controller to create an entity. The request causes operations including i) creating, by an endpoint responsive to a receipt of an interface request from the cloud controller, the entity, ii) receiving, by the cloud controller from the endpoint, response data generated by the entity, the response data indicating the creation of the entity, and iii) generating, by the cloud controller, control data based on the response data. The method includes receiving the control data from the cloud controller; sending, responsive to the receipt of the control data, a call to the endpoint for entity data; receiving entity data from the endpoint; comparing, the response data to the entity data to validate the response data; and generating a test status.
