Vertical scaling often requires making the system temporarily unavailable while it is being redeployed.
Horizontal scaling, also called scaling out and in, means adding or removing instances of a resource. The application continues running without interruption as new resources are provisioned.

In the Cloud Security Blueprint, the South Hub is responsible for managing multiple types of traffic. It handles internal spoke-to-spoke traffic, traffic from spokes to the internet (egress), and the communication between the cloud and on-premises environments. This hub plays a critical role in ensuring secure and efficient data flow between different parts of the network.

Tags are a powerful cloud element that provide key-value pairs and can be imported into Check Point security policies. Tags are often used to classify and categorize cloud resources dynamically. By leveraging tags, Check Point can create adaptive security policies that automatically update as resources are added, modified, or removed in the cloud environment.
This enables more flexible and efficient security management that aligns with the changing nature of cloud infrastructure.
