Feature Description

The Subscriber Microservices Infrastructure (SMI) or Cloud Native Deployment Platform (CNDP) uses the network policy usage on the Kubernetes cluster. The Utilized network policies in the Common Execution Environment (CEE) namespace block the incoming traffic from the PCF namespace. The REST endpoint provides the SMI label in the network policy for accessing CEE services. PCF manages the changes in application pods to communicate with the CEE services. The PCF REST endpoint also needs access to the Prometheus high-resolution service to collect the CPU load data.
