Abstract: A method for flow based breakout of firewall usage based on trust is provided. Some embodiments include receiving flow data for one or more flows associated with an endpoint external to a data center, the flow data indicating the one or more flows meet one or more good flow criteria, the one or more flows corresponding to flows of data communicated via a firewall and determining, based on the flow data meeting one or more trusted endpoint criteria, the endpoint is trusted. Some embodiments of the method include generating one or more policies that flows associated with the endpoint can bypass the firewall and configuring an edge services gateway with the one or more policies to cause the edge services gateway to apply the one or more policies without applying the firewall.
