Hi Ken, in addition to Ignasi' suggestions I can add also the following (hopefully) useful links for FWaaS API, presuming you are in the context of Openstack.
Recently we add the support for those API to Openstack Neutron [4]. As usual you can create instantiate a NeutronApi with something like NeutronApi neutronApi = ContextBuilder.newBuilder(new NeutronApiMetadata()) .endpoint(endpoint) .credentials(credentials) .modules(ImmutableSet.<Module>of( new SshjSshClientModule(), new SLF4JLoggingModule(), new BouncyCastleCryptoModule())) .buildApi(NeutronApi.class) and for example use it to create a firewall and add a rule like FWaaSApi fWaaSApi = neutronApi.getFWaaSApi(regionId).get(); FirewallPolicy firewallPolicy = fWaaSApi.createFirewallPolicy( CreateFirewallPolicy.builder() .name(String.format(JCLOUDS_FW_POLICY_PATTERN, name)) .build()); for (String address : addresses) { for (String inboundPort : ports) { FirewallRule firewallRule = fWaaSApi.createFirewallRule( CreateFirewallRule.builder() .name(ruleName) .destinationIpAddress(address) .destinationPort(inboundPort) .enabled(true) .action("allow") .protocol("tcp") .build()); fWaaSApi.insertFirewallRuleToPolicy(firewallPolicy.getId(), firewallRule.getId()); } } HTH, Andrea [4]: https://github.com/jclouds/jclouds-labs-openstack/pull/196 On Sun, Oct 23, 2016 at 6:07 PM, Ignasi Barrera <n...@apache.org> wrote: > Hi Ken, > > Not all providers have an API to effectively manage firewalls, but > most that do, implement the jclouds SecurityGroupExtension [1].
