Abstract
A first security policy associated with a first tenant in a multi-tenant hosting data processing environment is created. A first virtual machine is caused to execute on a first host, the first virtual machine associated with a first group defined by the first security policy. A controller is caused to send, from the controller to an agent executing on the first host, authorized communication information, the authorized communication information specifying a set of virtual machines associated with the first group. The agent is caused to configure a second routing entry in the first host, the second routing entry derived from the authorized communication information, the second routing entry causing the first virtual machine to reject outgoing network traffic intended for a second IP address, the second IP address associated with a third virtual machine outside the first group.
