If firewalls are offered in your datacenter and firewalls have been created in your virtual datacenter, then you can assign firewalls to your virtual machines.
To assign a firewall from the virtual datacenter to a virtual machine:
- Edit the virtual machine and open the Firewalls tab.
- Mark the required firewalls with a tick in the Firewall policies checklist
- Click Save
- In Abiquo 3.8, check the application of private cloud firewalls with your cloud provider. Private cloud firewalls might ONLY apply to load balancers. These firewalls DO NOT apply to virtual machines, even though you can assign them.
- If you cannot assign more firewall policies, check your cloud provider's limit. For example, for AWS, see http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonVPC/latest/UserGuide/VPC_SecurityGroups.html#VPCSecurityGroups
