Abstract

Techniques for enforcing an egress policy at a target service are described. In an example, traffic is generated for a customer, where the traffic is generated by a customer network of the customer, such as a customer tenancy or an on-premise network, or by a multi-tenancy service on behalf of the customer. The traffic can be destined to the target service. The traffic can be tagged by the customer network (e.g., by a gateway of the customer network) or by the multi-tenancy service. The customer network 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.
