Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for enforcing a network device provisioning policy. In one embodiment, a method may employ a computer based system to restrict access to data center resources, receive provisioning requests for access to the data center resources, authorize the provisioning requests after compliance with the network provisioning policy and allow the network device to access authorized data center resources. In another embodiment, a system includes interfaces for provisioning policy, request and task status information. The information provided by these interfaces is then used to determine compliance with applicable network device provisioning policies and restrict or allow access to the data center resources according to the provisioning policy.
