Cloud Firewalls

Network security and firewall rules for Tasmanian Cloud

:::warning[Coming Soon] Cloud firewall features are currently under development. This page outlines our planned offerings. :::

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:

Parameter	Description
Protocol	TCP, UDP, ICMP
Port	Specific ports or ranges
Source	IP addresses, CIDR ranges, or security groups
Destination	Target resources within your network
Action	Allow or deny

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
