Claim 18:
19. The method of claim 13, further comprising:
receiving, by the policy controller, a new network policy rule;
configuring, by the policy controller, the first SDN architecture system with current network policies and the new network policy rule;
obtaining, by the policy controller, from the first SDN architecture system, additional flow metadata for packet flows exchanged among workloads of the distributed application deployed to the first SDN architecture system while the new network policy rule is configured in the first SDN architecture system;
identifying, by the policy controller, a discrepancy between the additional flow metadata and the current network policies that indicates one of the current network policies was violated by the packet flows exchanged among workloads of the distributed application deployed to the first SDN architecture system while the new network policy rule is configured in the first SDN architecture system; and
outputting, by the policy controller, for display at a display device, an indication of the discrepancy.
