Automatic management of network firewall rules in a hybrid and multi-cloud environment.
Rel. Martino Trevisan. Politecnico di Torino, Master of science program in Computer Engineering, 2022
Abstract
Taking advantage of cost and performance improvements, enterprises are extending their networks significantly further than the traditional on premises data centers and now incorporate software-defined networks, micro-segmentation and multiple clouds, both privates and public. The migration of applications to clouds has become an indispensable strategy for businesses, as clouds offer many financial, performance and operational benefits. The typical medium to large enterprise now operates a dynamic heterogeneous network that includes on premises data centers, private clouds and public clouds, in the so-called hybrid and multi-cloud environment. This heterogeneous structure leads to the need to manage firewalls from different vendors, thousands of rules and hundreds of weekly or monthly changes, and the need to interact with different cloud providers, each with their own language and methods.
In this context, the need to create a mechanism for the automation of network and firewall configurations that allows each company to be independent of on premises equipment vendors or cloud providers becomes essential
