+### HTTP egress control
+
+In order to control/monitor/capture HTTP egress traffic on your tasks for which security group based network controls are not sufficient i.e. hostname based controls: you can use after startup hooks to deploy a HTTP proxy on each worker node that intercepts all HTTP traffic of the tasks running on that worker node. An example using squid proxy to allowlist only traffic to a single domain can be found in `run_hook_squid_http_proxy`.

 ### How to access logs
 
 An IBM Cloud Logs instance is being setup and enabled by default during the automated One Time Setup. Each fleet worker will ingest logs to the IBM Cloud Logs instance by default. [Navigating to the UI](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/cloud-logs?topic=cloud-logs-instance-launch) and use [Using Livetail](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/cloud-logs?topic=cloud-logs-livetail) or [Filtering log data](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/cloud-logs?topic=cloud-logs-query-data-filter) to view the logs.
