Behavioral divergences

Cloud Firewalls

Quake AI concept: Security Groups

  • Cloud Firewalls are a managed stateful firewall service attached to Linodes and NodeBalancers; OpenStack uses Neutron security groups per port.
  • Rules are evaluated as inbound and outbound policy sets per firewall, not as additive security group memberships.
  • Default policy can be set to ACCEPT or DROP per direction at the firewall level; OpenStack security groups default-deny inbound.
  • Cloud Firewalls are free; OpenStack security groups are also free but have different rule semantics (port + protocol + remote group).

Cloud Firewalls

Quake AI concept: Security Groups

  • Akamai/Linode Cloud Firewalls are the supported managed firewall product; there is no separate Neutron FWaaS-style abstraction.
  • Each firewall has a single rule set and is attached to Linodes or NodeBalancers; not chained or layered like OpenStack FWaaS policies.
  • Operates at the service edge of the Linode rather than per-port like Neutron security groups.
