The overlay routing feature eliminates traffic hairpinning by enabling direct egress from Prisma AIRS AI Runtime: Network intercept to next-hop destinations, like the Internet Gateway (IGW) and NAT Gateways. This prevents double inspection of traffic, reducing latency, bandwidth utilization, and resource consumption. Prisma AIRS can now function as a NAT gateway, consolidating security inspection and network address translation into a single component while maintaining comprehensive security for containerized workloads.
