Introduction to firewalls
Excerpt

The platform provides a unified interface to firewalls in varied cloud environments. 

This section describes firewall policies, which are similar to security groups. The platform supports firewall policies in private cloud with network managers (NSX, NSX-T) and in public cloud.

Abiquo firewall policies represent.

  • AWS security groups

  • Azure firewall policies

  • GCP firewall rules

  • OCI network security groups

For more details, please see the public cloud features table for each provider.

In vCloud Director, the platform also supports classic firewalls, which are Edge firewalls at level of the public cloud region (orgVDC). See Manage classic firewalls.
