Segmentation: review permitted outbound traffic
Connection destinations are part of the exposure boundary.

Reading context
A short architecture article. The technical reference supports the topic; hypothetical scenarios and assessment proposals are editorial analysis, not accounts of personal implementations.
Original source ↗The architecture decision
A service protected from unsolicited inbound traffic may still initiate broad connections. Review what happens when its process reaches destinations outside its purpose.
Practical application
Editorial proposal: list outbound dependencies by purpose and owner. In a hypothetical integration, distinguish operational traffic from temporary diagnostic conveniences.
How to verify
Test destination unavailability and observe fallback attempts. Record alerts and recovery. Balance restriction with maintainability: a poorly understood rule requiring broad exceptions during every incident tends to lose value over time.
