What Is A Good FWBuilder Alternative For Redhat 7 Systems In A Cloud Context


Unfortunately FWBuilder has been discontinued, which is what I found to ok at managing a Cloud environment. Since it does most of the things listed below, such as ssh-keys for passwordless installs.

I tried installing FWBuilder on CentOS 7 but it errors out as shown in the link below.

http://sourceforge.net/p/fwbuilder/d...read/0f0681a8/

I know that there are a lot of firewall managers, but what I am looking for is something to mange a "Cloud Infrastructure" that runs on Redhat 7 environments:

1.) Will manage rules for multiple systems and projects

2.) Will Install rules on multiple systems at once, or one by one preferably with using SSH-keys since this would be handling large environments

3.) Easily manipulate rules with a GUI

4.) Store objects like "A block or mixture of IP's" to more easily manipulate rules, since this would be a cloud environment with lots of variables that would be nice to store and use some how.

5.) Will run pre and post commands. This helps in adding commands at the end to save rules, since different operating systems use different commands.

Thanks!

you do know that cent7 is using systemd
and there is and never has really been a need for this

old int software from 2013 will not run on the new systemd

for starters YOU CAN NOT install a el6 rpm on a el7 system !!!
"fwbuilder-5.1.0.3599-1.el6.i686.rpm"

well somethings might, like fonts


if you can manage to over come the systemV VS. SystemD issues you can rebuild the SRC


you do know that there is a built in GUI ??? right ??
" firewall-config"

Well it was worth a shot trying to install it and showing that at least I tried to that extent.

Also I want to use a product that is being supported by a team, so I would rather not modify and put effort into something that is deprecated.

And yes I do know there is a firewall manager "firewalld" and "iptables" which is still in the 7 version builds.
But that is not what I am looking for, I am NOT looking for a personal 1 machine firewall manager.

I am looking for a "Cloud" solution or in other words a firewall manager for multiple systems.
key point from original post is number "1".
"1.) Will manage rules for multiple systems and projects"

Yes there are other solutions such as Salt/Ansible/Puppet, but I want something specialized specifically for firewall rules.
