Techniques for network policies analysis in container frameworks

Abstract:

Techniques are disclosed for query processing system that can, when queried, generate a result related to one or more connectivity paths and/or one or more network security rules. Network security rules and connectivity paths may be stored in corresponding data structures (e.g., sets of attributes) that may be utilized with a number of set operations. The user may issue a query requesting the system to apply a rule to a path, a set of rules to a set of paths, to identify if one set of rule(s) are equivalent to another set of rule(s), and the like. Utilizing this query processing system can enable a user to identify effects of one or more network rules with respect to traffic being allowed or restricted along particular connectivity paths between components of the system.
