Hi Ken, Not all providers have an API to effectively manage firewalls, but most that do, implement the jclouds SecurityGroupExtension [1]. You can get it by calling:
context.getComputeService().getSecurityGroupExtension(); That will return an optional that will be present if the extension is supported by the provider. You'll see in the javadocs that it has methods to create and manage security groups, and also to configure the ruleset set for each. Once you have configured the security groups, you can create nodes and assign them to the desired security groups by using the TemplateOptions#securityGroups() method [2]. Alternatively, in some providers that don't support the security groups extension, you can still use the TemplateOptions#inboundPorts [3] to open ports in the nodes you create. HTH! I.
