1. A method for monitoring tenant workloads in a multi-cloud environment, comprising:
determining a first new workload for a first tenant is deployed on a first data plane associated with a first cloud platform in the multi-cloud environment;
configuring a monitoring stack on a second data plane associated with a second cloud platform in the multi-cloud environment to collect first metrics data for the first new workload; and
creating a network policy allow list including a source internet protocol (IP) address associated with the monitoring stack, wherein the network policy allow list is to be used by an ingress controller deployed on the first data plane to control ingress traffic to the first new workload, including at least ingress traffic from the monitoring stack intended for the first new workload.
