Abstract
Systems and methods for enforcing tag-based policy on dynamic workloads include monitoring, via a cloud-based system, traffic associated with one or more customers of the cloud-based system; receiving a packet from a workload associated with a customer of the one or more customers; performing a tag lookup at one or more nodes of the cloud-based system based on the packet; enforcing one or more policies based on the tag lookup. Based on no tags being found for the workload during the tag lookup at the one or more nodes, the nodes are adapted to drop the packet; query the one or more cloud connectors for workload information; and receive, in a next packet, all tags and a version associated with the workload.
