Abstract
Some embodiments provide a method for a public cloud manager that interacts with a management system of a public datacenter. The method receives a notification from a network controller that a second data compute node is compromised. The second data compute node operates on a host machine in the public datacenter and executes a forwarding element managed by network controller. The method interacts with application programming interfaces (APIs) of the public datacenter to quarantine the data compute node.
