Allowing exactly one host

Simple Story

The exercise requires one telephone call. Exactly that number should be reachable, and no other.

The outline below is the intended structure and is not yet written. Until it is, use the Policy Reference for the individual fields.

The situation

A networking exercise needs one endpoint, and the policy must name the host and the port rather than opening a range.

The policy fragment

The smallest security-policy.yaml addition that solves it, shown in full so it can be pasted into an existing policy.

What this still forbids

The operations the recipe deliberately does not enable, so the boundary stays visible.

The tempting wrong version

A wildcard host or an open port range, which turns a networking exercise into unrestricted outbound access.

Notes

  • Check the recipe against both controls: the permitted operation must succeed, and the nearest forbidden neighbour must still be rejected.
