Abstract
Some embodiments provide a method for network management and control system that manages one or more logical networks. From a first user, the method receives a definition of one or more security zones for a logical network. Each security zone definition includes a set of security rules for data compute nodes (DCNs) assigned to the security zone. From a second user, the method receives a definition of an application to be deployed in the logical network. The application definition specifies a set of requirements. Based on the specified set of requirements, the method assigns DCNs implementing the application to one or more of the security zones for the logical network.
