Transit app docs say traffic is newly allowed, Endpoints look healthy, yet connections from a client Pod time out. What should administrators suspect?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Docs can say the bridge is open while the NetworkPolicy boom gate is still down. When Endpoints look fine but packets vanish, suspect policy drops.
Full Explanation
Timeouts with healthy Endpoints often indicate NetworkPolicy, CNI policy, or firewall filtering rather than missing backends. Label/selectors in policies must match the intended clients and servers. Documentation text, ClusterIP “hourly expiry,” and log flags do not explain silent drops.
