Abstract
An enforcement module operating on a server or on a network midpoint device obtains a management instruction controlling communications of a target workload. The enforcement module configures a firewall of a network midpoint device upstream from the target workload to enforce the management instruction. The configuration mechanism may be dependent on the particular capabilities and characteristics of the network midpoint device.
