    Abstract: Techniques for providing application-independent access control in a cloud-services computing environment are provided. In one embodiment, a method for providing application-independent access control is provided. The method includes obtaining a user identity for accessing the cloud-services computing environment and receiving a user request to perform a task using an application. The method further includes collecting process-related data for performing the task using the application and obtaining one or more network routing addresses. The method further includes determining, based on the user identity, the process-related data, and the one or more network routing addresses, whether the task is to be performed. If that the task is to be performed, the task is caused to be performed using the application; and if the task is not to be performed, the user request is denied.

    Abstract: Described herein are systems, methods, and software to enhance the implementation of communication rules in a computing network. In one example, a method of operating a communication settings system maintains communication rules for a plurality of networks, wherein the communication rules define forwarding actions for ingress and egress packets to and from applications in the plurality of computing networks. The service further identifies a configuration request from a computing network with applications executing in the computing network, identifies a subset of the communication rules based on the plurality of applications, and provides the subset of the communication rules to the computing network.
