Abstract
Systems, methods, and storage media useful in a computing platform to automatically generate and deploy access control list (ACL) rules for one or more firewalls in a data center are provided. The computing platform is vendor-agnostic and generates ACL rules in multiple syntaxes depending on the firewall needing updating. The platform traverses a data center mapping structure to identify one or more firewalls to be updated for a destination IP address and source IP address and automatically generates the ACL rule in the syntax for the one or more firewalls identified.
