Abstract
Systems, methods, and computer-readable media for on-demand security provisioning using whitelist and blacklist rules. In some examples, a system in a network including a plurality of pods can configure security policies for a first endpoint group (EPG) in a first pod, the security policies including blacklist and whitelist rules defining traffic security enforcement rules for communications between the first EPG and a second EPG in a second pods in the network. The system can assign respective implicit priorities to the one or more security policies based on a respective specificity of each policy, wherein more specific policies are assigned higher priorities than less specific policies. The system can respond to a detected move of a virtual machine associated with the first EPG to a second pod in the network by dynamically provisioning security policies for the first EPG in the second pod and removing security policies from the first pod.
