The network shield feature provides the ability to transparently insert a “shield” between a microVM and the public Internet.
A relay redirects all network traffic to and from a network interface toward another network interface.
This lets you set up a dedicated relay VM and configure its interface as the relay for another VM's interface, so that all of the other VM's traffic transparently passes through the relay.

[Microsoft.Wordiness] Consider using 'all' instead of 'all of'.

[write-good.TooWordy] 'all of' is too wordy.

A network shield is one example of a relay: it sits between a microVM and the public Internet, filters traffic, and can inject credentials or secrets for agentic and other use cases.

A first network shield image will be available soon, and the example above can then be updated to use it.

[write-good.Passive] 'be updated' may be passive voice. Use active voice if you can.
