Abstract
Systems, methods, and software to enhance the management of software defined networks. A controller is configured to maintain a data plane configuration for a virtual machine environment based on forwarding rules. The controller is further configured to identify a virtual machine group to be deployed in the computing environment, and identify tags associated with each virtual machine in the virtual machine group. Once the tags are identified, the controller may update the data plane forwarding configuration based on the identified tags and the forwarding rules.
