US Patent 9413778 Security policy creation in a computing environment

This disclosure describes, in part, systems and techniques for creating policies to enable software to access resources protected by one or more rule sets after the software is implemented to run in a computing service that includes the one or more rule sets. To access different resources, network communication protocols and port addresses may be used, such as for inter-server communications. In some embodiments, an administrator of a particular computing service may initiate a learning mode that enables configuration of software to be run in the computing service and/or configuration of a computing service that runs the software. The learning mode may be implemented by a transmission manager using a manual learning mode and/or an automatic learning mode.
