Policy engine for cloud platform
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- intercepting, by a response dispatcher of a policy engine running on one or more computers of a cloud computing environment, a response to a command, the response being sent by a cloud controller device of the cloud computing environment to a user device that issued the command;
dispatching, by the response dispatcher, the response to a response rules engine corresponding to the command;
executing, by the response rules engine, a set of one or more rules representing a response policy on how to deploy a web application in the cloud computing environment; and
forwarding the response to the user device in response to determining that a result of execution of the set of one or more rules by the response rules engine indicates compliance of the response with the response policy.

Abstract
A policy engine is situated within the communications path of a cloud computing environment and a user of the cloud computing environment to comply with an organization'"'"'s policies for deploying web applications in the cloud computing environment. The policy engine intercepts communications packets to the cloud computing environment from a user, such as a web application developer, for example, in preparation for deploying a web application in the cloud computing environment. The policy engine identifies commands corresponding to the communications packets and directs the communications packets to appropriate rules engines corresponding to such commands in order to execute rules to comply with an organization'"'"'s policies. Upon completion of execution of the rules, the communications packets are forwarded to the cloud computing environment if they comply with the policies.
