When setting up rules for Cloudlets, keep the following in mind:
Category | Consideration |
|---|
Rule evaluation | Cloudlets rules are evaluated from first to last, and the first match wins.As a best practice, order your rules so that the ones that will exclude the most incoming requests are towards the top of the list.If an incoming request doesn't trigger a rule, then the Cloudlet does not execute. The request is then evaluated against the property rules.Cloudlets policies do not have child rules.You can add 5000 rules to a Cloudlets policy.
**Note:** If your rules aren't working as expected before the 5000 limit, try running the [Policy Analysis Tool](doc:use-policy-analysis-tool) first. Contact support if you can't resolve the issue. You may have hit a cost limit. |
Match rules | All match types support negation.If you have multiple match criteria in a rule, the criteria are all part of a single logical AND operator.ELSE statements aren't supported. |
Versioning | When you create a new policy, the system automatically creates version 1 of the policy. This version is empty: it has no description or rules.When cloning a policy, version 1 of the new policy includes rules from the most recent version of the cloned policy. |
Character limitations | You can't use these characters with Cloudlets rules: < > @ " \ [ ] ^ ` { | } { | } ¡ ¢ £ ¤ ¥ ¦ § ¨ © ª « ¬ ' ® ¯ ° ± ² ³ ´ µ ¶ · ¸ ¹ ¹ ° " ¼ ½ ¾ ¿ À Á Â Ã Ä Å Æ Ç È É Ê Ë Ì Í Î Ï Ð Ñ Ò Ó Ô Õ Ö × Ø Ù Ú Û Ü Ý Þ ß à á â ã ä å æ ç è é ê ë ì í î ï ð ñ ò ó ô õ ö ÷ ø ù ú û ü ý þ ÿ |
