Secure inter-host communication enables networked hosts to expose and consume capabilities via signed HTTP requests. The fort control plane manages this by authenticating requests and enforcing RBAC based on cluster topology, ensuring controlled service access.

To define host capabilities, declare the specific services or information a host provides to others. The fort control plane manages these capabilities, ensuring secure service exposure and controlled access through signed HTTP requests.

You specify required capabilities through declarative needs. This defines which services a host requires from others, facilitating automated dependency management and role-based access control within the secure inter-host communication network.

Yes, the fort control plane includes a garbage collection protocol for capabilities. This protocol removes unused capabilities, ensuring efficient resource management and maintaining a secure inter-host communication environment across the cluster topology.

To debug control plane issues, use the guide's debugging procedures for signed HTTP requests. It helps identify failures in capability exposure, authentication, or RBAC enforcement across the secure inter-host communication cluster.
