Using Security Components in the Design Canvas
You can add NSX security components to the design canvas to make their configured settings available
to one or more vSphere machine components in the blueprint.
Security groups, tags, and policies are configured outside of vRealize Automation in the NSX application.
The network and security component settings that you add to the design canvas are derived from your
NSX configuration and require that you have run data collection for the NSX inventory for vSphere
clusters. Network and security components are specific to NSX and are available for use with vSphere
machine components only. For information about configuring NSX, see NSX Administration Guide.
You can add security controls to blueprints by configuring security groups, tags, and policies for the
vSphere compute resource in NSX. After you run data collection, the security configurations are available
for selection in vRealize Automation.
Security Group
A security group is a collection of assets or grouping objects from the vSphere inventory that is mapped
to a set of security policies, for example distributed firewall rules and third party security service
integrations such as anti-virus and intrusion detection. The grouping feature enables you to create custom
containers to which you can assign resources, such as virtual machines and network adapters, for
distributed firewall protection. After a group is defined, you can add the group as source or destination to
a firewall rule for protection.
