Claim 5:
6. A process for managing a security group on a cloud management platform portal by means of a system for managing security according to claim 1, the system comprising a set of software codes executed on a processor of the cloud management platform portal to implement the process for managing a security group, said system further comprising
a set of routines which are executed on a computing device or said processor allowing the cloud management platform portal to contact a cloud automation service (CAS) by using a Representational State Transfer Application Programing Interface (REST API) to access and configure a set of functionalities of the CAS of a platform hosting services in a portal to provision services to a customer; and
a ServiceNow (SNOW) application comprising a plurality of routines to manage virtual machines using the cloud management platform portal, said plurality of routines comprising
at least one network Standard Service Request (SSR) configured to
delete a security group,
create a new security group, and
modify an existing security group; and

at least one other network Standard Service Request (SSR) configured to
delete a Software-Defined Networking (SDN) security group rule on hyper-converged platforms,
create a new SDN security group rule on hyper-converged platforms,
modify an existing Software defined Networking (DNS) security group rule on hyper-converged platforms;

wherein the system is in a server for managed platform as a service (PaaS), wherein said server comprises, in a container-based architecture,
at least a processor and memories to save data and executable software in order to embed a cloud application software into a fully managed PaaS stack, abstracting complex hybrid Infrastructure as a Service (laaS) away,
wherein said server is configured such that the SNOW application represents a first layer of said server,
wherein said server is executed on said processor and is configured to
parse and orchestrate a cloud service requested to consume from the cloud service a user request,
select one or more of cloud computing services and resources provided by one or more of a cloud service provider and a function mode,
execute a cloud service operation and make end to end management in a cloud through dialog
with a second layer of said server represented by a cloud application integrated software for application transformation and
a third layer of said server represented by integrated software for infrastructure brokering with a public cloud managed by the integrated software;

wherein said process comprises
creating a security group (SG);
modifying an existing security group;
deleting a security group;
adding server to a security group;
removing a virtual server to a security group; and,
configuring a SDN security group rule;

wherein the SNOW application is executed on the server for managed platform as a service (PaaS) and displayed on a console adapted to the cloud application integrated software by integrating a specific API configured to interface a language of the SNOW application and command to the language and command of the cloud application integrated software.
