Policy Object: Traffic Objects
Create traffic objects to specify cloud entities within specific clusters or VPC
endpoints to enforce customized security policy rules.
This page helps you to create a traffic object with specific cloud assets and map
the traffic object to a zone. Attach the zone to a security policy to enforce the policy
rules on the AI traffic sourced from this zone.
This feature is part of the
AI Runtime Security licensing. The AI traffic from the zone is routed to the AI
Runtime Security instance for inspection.

Prerequisite
Configure a Cluster ID in the Kubernetes
environment and configure the PAN-CNI plugin on a Kubernetes cluster to allocate the
network interfaces on each pod. To configure the PAN-CNI plugin for your Kubernetes
cluster, you need three YAML files: `pan-cni-configmap.yaml`, `pan-cni.yaml`, and
`pan-cni-multus.yaml`. These files are essential for setting up and managing the
PAN-CNI plugin to secure your Kubernetes clusters with the CN-Series firewall.
To create a policy object
of type Traffic objects:
- Go toManage > Configuration > NGFW and Prisma Access > Objects > Traffic Objects.
![]()
- SelectAdd Traffic Object
![]()
- Enter aNamefor the Traffic Object.
- Write aDescription.
- Select theTypeasK8s Cluster IDorVPC Endpoint ID.
- In theTraffic Object ID, enter the K8s Cluster ID or the VPC Endpoint ID.
- If the type is K8s Cluster ID, the traffic object ID values can be between 1-2048
- If the type is VPC Endpoint ID, the Traffic Object ID format is:vpc-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (with 17 alphanumeric characters)
Select the existing ingressZonefor the traffic object or create a new zone. - SelectSaveto create the traffic object.This creates a sub-interface using the zone and the K8s Cluster ID and we map the sub-interface to the zone. This zone is used to define granular security policies on the cloud assets within a zone.Next, go toSecurity Services > Security Policytocreate a security policyrule and attach this zone to the policy rule to enforce the security rule to all the cloud entities enclosed within the traffic object.
