Troubleshooting:

  • If you cannot assign more firewall policies, check your cloud provider's limit. For example, for AWS, see https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonVPC/latest/UserGuide/VPC_SecurityGroups.html#VPCSecurityGroups

  • If your provider's default firewall policy does not display, you may need to synchronize your virtual datacenter or firewall policies before you continue

  • If an expected firewall policy does not display, for example, a firewall policy that you recently created, you may need to wait for the firewall policy to propagate through the provider's API because of eventual consistency

  • You can remove the default firewall when editing a VM. However, if the provider requires a firewall and you do not supply another one, the platform will assign the default firewall again.
