Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Drawing lines around your fortress walls
What sits inside, what stands beyond the calls
Inherited controls from parent frames
External systems need their binding claims
The boundary box defines your scope of care
Assessment burden lives within that square

[Chorus]
In or out, make it clear
ISAs bridge what draws too near
Active-active splits the load
But boundary hugs the whole explode
Minimize without the gaps
Authorization overlap maps

[Verse 2]
Interconnection pacts with foreign lands
Security agreements shake their hands
When clusters mirror in redundant dance
Both nodes and links need compliance stance
The management plane orchestrates the show
All three components in your boundary flow

[Chorus]
In or out, make it clear
ISAs bridge what draws too near
Active-active splits the load
But boundary hugs the whole explode
Minimize without the gaps
Authorization overlap maps

[Bridge]
Shrink the perimeter to cut the cost
But leave no cracks where threats get crossed
Every service, every wire
Must declare which side of fire
External trusts need paper trails
Internal owns where audit sails

[Verse 3]
Replication streams between the twins
Both clusters wrapped where assessment begins
The sync protocol, the heartbeat thread
All captured in your boundary spread
Too small creates a gaping void
Too large leaves budgets destroyed

[Final Chorus]
In or out, make it clear
ISAs bridge what draws too near
Active-active splits the load
But boundary hugs the whole explode
Minimize without the gaps
Authorization overlap maps
Draw the line, own the space
Every bit has its rightful place

[Outro]
Boundary definition sets the stage
For every rule on every page
