Abstract

Techniques are disclosed for implementing scalable policies across a plurality of categories that support application workloads. In one example, the policy is a security policy that indicates which types of virtualized application workloads are required to communicate with encryption and groups computing devices into zones that communicate via respective tunnels configured to carry encrypted communication. An orchestration engine selects a computing device based on the zones fined in the security policy to ensure that the virtualized application workloads requiring encrypted communication communicate via tunnels configured to carry encrypted communication.
