Description
The Virtual Datacenter Management system provides a management plane for privileged access and communications. Separation of management and user traffic, including access to the customer service portal, is provided to the DOD Mission Owner by the cloud service provider (CSP) to provision and configure cloud service offerings. Additionally, service endpoints for application program interfaces (APIs) and command line interfaces (CLIs) are available as part of the Customer Portal network. These systems can be accessed through the internet by DOD privileged users only (e.g., DOD system and network administrators).

ℹ️ Check
This applies to all Impact Levels. If this is a Software as a Service (SaaS) implementation, this is not a finding.

If the IaaS/PaaS does not maintain separation of all management and data traffic, this is a finding.

✔️ Fix
This applies to all Impact Levels. FedRAMP Moderate, High. Configure the IaaS/PaaS to maintain separation of all management and data traffic.
