Security Policy User Guide 21.5

Workloads and VENs

The modified workloads navigation menu includes Workloads, Container Workloads, and VENs. You can see all your workloads, container workloads, and VENs on separate tabs. You can view their configuration, do workload or VEN-specific actions, and find the related VENs and workloads.

An idle workload does not program a firewall, therefore the Rules page of an idle workload does not show its rules.

The VENs are listed on a new page separate from workloads. The VEN-related actions are not available under the Workloads tab.

Note

Users with the Workload Manager role can manage workloads and VENs.

You can select a VEN(s) to unpair, refresh, and generate support reports. Container workloads (if any) are displayed under the Container Workloads tab.
