Embodiments of the invention relate to scalable policy management in an edge virtual bridging (EVB) environment. One embodiment includes fetching information from a virtual station interface (VSI) database. A first table is generated with at least a portion of the information from the VSI database. A message is received including virtual machine (VM) information for a created VM. A second table is generated including at least a portion of the VM information. A VM identification (ID) is retrieved based on VM type from the first table. Rules associated with the retrieved VM ID are retrieved from the second table.
