This enables secure communication between services without exposing them to the public internet.
Key Features
- Environment-wide isolation — workloads in the same environment can talk to each other privately.
- Cross-environment networking — connect services across multiple environments if enabled.
- Automatic DNS resolution — workloads are discoverable by name.
Use Cases
- Secure backend-to-database connections.
- Microservices communication without public exposure.
- Hybrid setups where only specific endpoints are public.
Best Practices
- Keep databases and internal services private.
- Only expose workloads via proxy or edge if necessary.
- Use secrets for credentials even in private networks.
