What is the purpose of using extra-scope policies?

The purpose of using extra-scope policies is to allow communication between different workloads. These policies are designed to facilitate connectivity among workloads that may not be naturally allowed by existing security policies. By implementing extra-scope policies, organizations can ensure that necessary communication occurs between workloads that might be in different security zones or may have different baseline security policies.

This is particularly important in complex environments where multiple applications or services need to interact with one another while still maintaining a high level of security. Extra-scope policies can help fine-tune the communications that are essential for application performance and operational efficiency, allowing organizations to balance security with the need for application interconnectivity.
