Networking

Private access, mesh routing, and intentional application exposure

Networking starts with a private default. The mesh, ACL, bastion, and workload authentication layers decide how a connection reaches a service. A public application route is an explicit recipe choice.

Services

Bastion access for scoped forwarding to a private service
VPN and private routing for mesh-only access
VPC networks for workload segmentation
Domains and DNS for application names
Load balancers for declared application traffic
Cloud firewalls for network policy

Access path

flowchart LR
    ID[Authenticated identity]
    MESH[Zero-trust mesh]
    ACL[Mesh ACL]
    BASTION[Scoped bastion grant]
    SERVICE[Private service]

    ID --> MESH --> ACL --> BASTION --> SERVICE

The mesh authenticates the peer. The ACL chooses the deployment. The bastion grants the port. The service still performs its own authentication.

Public application traffic

Some applications need public HTTPS or another declared data-plane route. That route MUST remain separate from management access. A public application route MUST NOT open public SSH, database administration, or operator interfaces.

Customer responsibility

Customers choose which application services are public, which users receive access, and which application-level credentials are valid. Tasmanian Cloud provides the network boundary and the interfaces used to express those decisions.
