Disclosed are examples of systems, apparatus, methods and computer program products providing network security orchestration and management across different clouds. In some implementations, network security information includes a set of security policies indicating permitted communications between or among computing resources. The network security information is converted to a cloud-independent representation. From the cloud-independent representation, policy sets can be generated, where each policy set is specific to a different cloud.

Network security orchestration and management across different clouds

Computing systems, for example, multi-tenant systems create data centers in a cloud platform using a cloud platform infrastructure language that is cloud platform independent. The system receives a cloud platform independent declarative specification describing a new datacenter to be created and a customization specification for customizing the data center. The system compiles the declarative specification along with the customization specification to generate a metadata representation of the data center. The metadata representation is used to generate a data center on a target cloud platform. Different customization specifications can be provided to generate different customized datacenters based on the same declarative specification. For example, the different customized data centers may implement different policies, for example, network policies, security policies, and so on.
