# Investigate Container Network Exposure on Prisma Cloud

Use the `config from network where` queries, to investigate the **true** Network Exposure of your cloud assets.

You can also search for Kubernetes-related objects on **Investigate**. They are designed to be flexible in order to support a majority of use cases. The Network Path Analysis shows the path that network traffic would take if traffic were to be initiated from Source A to Destination B. Every hop in the path is a decision point in the traffic forwarding path in the cloud.

## Container Exposure Graph

After the **Investigate** search displays the query results, click the **i** icon (Network Path) under Actions to view the detailed Network Path Analysis, which shows the path that the network traffic would take if traffic were to be initiated from the Source (Internet) to Destination (Kubernetes service and the endpoints). Every hop with a green bubble indicates the traffic can move forward (Allow traffic) from one point to the next. A hop with a red bubble indicates the traffic cannot move forward (Deny traffic).

* Path: Different paths the destination are exposed to the internet.
* Source: Source of the exposure (untrusted internet or a specific IP).
* CSP Overlay: Cloud Service Provider assets in the network path.
* Kubernetes Underlay:
  * K8s Nodes: Nodes that belongs to the K8s cluster.
  * K8s Service: K8s Services exposing the container.
  * K8s Deployment: Deployment associated with the endpoint/service.
  * K8s Endpoints: Endpoint associated with the running pods.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.prismacloud.io/content-collections/administration/network-security/container-network-exposure/investigate-container-network-exposure.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
