Abstract
An application profile is provided to manage security of an application deployed across two or more cloud computing networks. A user can define in the application profile first and second server groups, a cloud chamber as including the first and second server groups, and a computing flow to the cloud chamber. A firewall rule is generated based on the computing flow. The firewall rule is distributed to the first server group of the cloud chamber. A copy of the firewall rule is distributed to the second server group of the cloud chamber. The first server group is in a first cloud computing network that is provided by a first cloud provider. The second server group is in a second cloud computing network that is provided by a second cloud provider, different from the first cloud provider.
