| - Rubie API FQDN (e.g. `manbrs-*.azurewebsites.net` — confirm against the deployed environment). | ||
| - Azure Arc control-plane endpoints — see [Microsoft's published list](https://learn.microsoft.com/azure/azure-arc/servers/network-requirements). | ||
| - OS update endpoints (Microsoft Update / distro repositories). | ||
| - GitHub release endpoints (`github.com`, `*.githubusercontent.com`) — used by Arc to fetch new gateway versions. **[TBC with DevOps: depends on whether release assets are pulled by the Arc agent on the VM, or repackaged Azure-side and pushed via the Arc control plane.]** |

There was a problem hiding this comment.
😅 We're assuming that they have an FQDN and IP allow-list capability. This seems really broad though and would allow bad actors to host malware on GitHub before installing it. Attackers can run Command & Control services on GitHub domains.
Ideally things would come from Arc, but I guess similar concerns.
