Hybrid network infrastructure management

Abstract:

Embodiments relate to an intelligent computer platform to utilize a micro-service architecture that supports secure connection and policy management for devices. The micro-services include managers to support establishment of a secure connection. The managers register devices in the architecture, and define security policies which are encoded as rules. The policies and corresponding rules are stored in a knowledge base operatively coupled to the architecture. The patterns of security policies are learned over time and used for recommending new rules or validating existing rules. The managers selectively validate one or more rules that correspond to a setting of a requesting device. The secure connection is established for a network level device determined to comply with one or more of the selectively validated rules.
