Application attachment based firewall management
Described herein are systems, methods, and software to enhance network traffic management for virtual machines. In one implementation, a network policy controller may maintain firewall rules at one or more hosts of a computing environment, wherein the firewall rules define network packet forwarding policies for application groups available to virtual machines in the environment. The network policy controller further identifies an application group for attachment to one or more virtual machines, and in response to the identification, adds the one or more virtual machines to a security group for a firewall wall rule corresponding to the application group.
