Abstract
Securing and optimizing communications for a cloud service provider includes collecting connection summary information at network interface devices associated with host computing devices for a group of resources allocated to a customer of the cloud computing environment. The connection summary information includes local address information, remote address information, and data information, each connection established via the network interface devices. At least one communication graph is generated for the group of resources using the connection summary information. The graph includes nodes that represent communication resources of the group of resources and edges extending between nodes that characterize communication between the nodes. At least one analytics process is performed on data from the graph to identify at least one of a micro-segmentation strategy, a communication pattern, and a flow prediction for the group of resources.
