I would like to thank and dedicate this book to my family. Without their endless and untiring support, this book would not have been possible.

I want to thank Michael Haines for his review and guidance. Michael is a Senior Cloud Networking and Security Architect and Engineer for the Global Technical Services Engineering team at VMware. Michael provides security architecture and development of VMware's Cloud solutions for service providers, enterprise customers, and partners throughout Europe and Asia Pacific. He is also responsible for providing deep technical expertise and interfacing directly with engineering and product Management to support and develop current and future vCloud Networking and Security products and initiatives.
