2.2.2. Network Configuration
Network configuration determines who can access your AI services and from where. Without proper network controls, your AI endpoints are accessible from anywhere on the internet—a significant security risk for production workloads handling sensitive data.
What breaks without proper network configuration: Attackers can probe your endpoints, data exfiltration becomes possible, and compliance requirements (HIPAA, PCI-DSS) may be violated. Think of network configuration like controlling building access—public endpoints are an open lobby, while private endpoints require a badge to enter.
Network Configuration Options:
Network Configuration:
| Configuration | Use Case |
|---|---|
| Public endpoint | Development, testing |
| Private endpoint | Production, network isolation |
