Create Policies for the Virtual Services
You should create policies that apply to one or more virtual services. A policy is a sequence of actions that is carried out by CloudStreams when a consumer requests a particular service through CloudStreams. You create policies using the same editor you use to create virtual services.
A policy for a virtual service can include the following kinds of actions:
WS-SecurityPolicy 1.2 actions, which include authentication actions and XML security actions for the inbound requests.
Monitoring actions, to monitor run-time performance conditions for virtual services, and to optimize server traffic (and to send alerts when the conditions are violated).
Additional actions, to identify/authenticate consumers, to validate request/response messages against an XML schema, and to log request/response payloads.
For complete details, see the chapter
Policies.
