Abstract
Some embodiments provide a method for a public cloud manager operating within a first data compute node of a public cloud. The method receives, through a set of public cloud provider APIs, information regarding a new second data compute node created within the public cloud. The information includes a set of tags entered by a user when creating the data compute node. Based on the tags, the method notifies a network control system that manages a forwarding element operating in the data compute node regarding (i) the creation of the data compute node, (ii) a logical switch to which to attach the data compute node and (iii) a security group to which the data compute node belongs.
