1. A method to control packet traffic for multiple users of cloud resources within a cloud network, comprising:

  • allowing, through a master user interface, configuration of one or more master filters to determine how packets received from one or more packet sources are forwarded for different users of cloud resources within a cloud network;

    allowing, through one or more user interfaces, configuration of a plurality of sets of one or more user filters, each set of one or more user filters being associated with a different user of cloud resources within the cloud network and determining how packets are forwarded within the cloud network for that user to one or more packet destinations;

    generating filter rules based upon the one or more master filters and the plurality of sets of one or more user filters, the filter rules including master rules associated with the master filters and user rules associated the plurality of sets of one or more user filters;

    prioritizing the master rules over the user rules;

    receiving packets from the one or more packet sources; and

    forwarding the received packets to the one or more packet destinations so that packet traffic for each user is forwarded based at least in part upon the one or more master filters and the set of one or more user filters for that user;

    wherein the master user interface displays filter information only for master filters, and wherein the one or more user interfaces display filter information only for user filters; and

    wherein the one or more user interfaces comprise a separate user interface for each user.
