Abstract
In an example, a method comprises obtaining, by a policy controller from a first SDN architecture system, flow metadata for packet flows exchanged among workloads of a distributed application deployed to the first SDN architecture system; identifying, using flow metadata for a packet flow of the packet flows, a source endpoint workload and a destination endpoint workload of the packet flow; generating a network policy rule to allow packet flows from the source endpoint workload to the destination endpoint workload of the packet flow; and adding the network policy rule to a configuration repository as configuration data for a second SDN architecture system to cause a deployment system to configure the second SDN architecture system with the network policy rule to allow packet flows from the source endpoint workload to the destination endpoint workload when the distributed application is deployed to the second SDN architecture system.
