Host Endpoint Resource (hostEndpoint)

A Host Endpoint resource (hostEndpoint) represents an interface attached to a host that is running Calico.

Each host endpoint may include a set of labels and list of profiles that Calico will use to apply policy to the interface. If no profiles or labels are applied, Calico will not apply any policy.

For calicoctl commands that specify a resource type on the CLI, the following aliases are supported (all case insensitive): hostendpoint, hostendpoints, hep, heps.
