Claim 19:
20. A method comprising:
obtaining, by a policy controller, from a software-defined networking (SDN) architecture system, flow metadata for packet flows exchanged among workloads of a distributed application deployed to the SDN architecture system;
obtaining, by the policy controller, a network policy configured in and applied by the SDN architecture system;
identifying, by the policy controller, based on the flow metadata, a configuration violation as a violation of the network policy by one of the packet flows; and
modifying a configuration repository with updated software for components of the SDN architecture system in response to identifying the configuration violation;
after the updated software is deployed to the SDN architecture system, determining, by the policy controller, based on updated flow metadata, that the one of the packet flows no longer violates the network policy.
