Cloud Firewalls

---

Overview

We're working on providing network-level firewall controls that allow you to define security rules for your infrastructure. This gives you fine-grained control over what traffic is allowed in and out of your resources.

Planned Features

Firewall Rules

You'll be able to define rules based on:

Security Groups

We're planning to implement security groups—reusable rule sets that can be applied to multiple resources:

graph TB
    subgraph "Security Group: Web Servers"
        SG1[Allow: TCP 80,443<br/>From: Anywhere]
        SG2[Allow: TCP 22<br/>From: VPN Network]
    end

    subgraph "Security Group: Databases"
        SG3[Allow: TCP 5432<br/>From: Web Servers SG]
        SG4[Deny: All<br/>From: Internet]
    end

    W1[Web Server 1] --- SG1
    W2[Web Server 2] --- SG1
    W1 --- SG2
    W2 --- SG2

    DB1[Database 1] --- SG3
    DB1 --- SG4

Features

Planned capabilities include:

• Stateful filtering — Return traffic automatically allowed
• Egress control — Control outbound traffic
• Rule ordering — Explicit priority for rules
• Logging — Audit trail of blocked/allowed traffic

---

What We're Solving

• Defense in depth — Multiple layers of network security
• Microsegmentation — Fine-grained access between resources
• Compliance — Meet security requirements with explicit controls
• Simplicity — Easy to understand and manage rules
