Abstract

Techniques for enforcing an egress policy at a target service are described. In an example, traffic is generated for a customer tenancy, where the traffic is generated by a multi-tenancy service. The traffic can be destined to the target service. The traffic can be tagged by the multi-tenancy service with information indicating that the traffic is egressing therefrom on behalf of the customer tenancy. The customer tenancy can be associated with the egress policy. The target service can determine the egress policy based on the information tagged to the traffic and can enforce the egress policy on the traffic that the target service is receiving.
