Kubernetes Network Policies
Kubernetes Network Policies are a powerful way to secure communication between pods in a Kubernetes cluster. These policies control the traffic flow between pods, services, and external resources, ensuring that only authorized communication is allowed. By defining rules based on pod labels, namespaces, and IP ranges, Kubernetes Network Policies help enforce security boundaries and prevent unauthorized access. They can be used to restrict traffic at both ingress and egress levels, enhancing network isolation. Implementing Network Policies is crucial for maintaining a secure and efficient Kubernetes environment, preventing potential vulnerabilities and improving overall cluster security.
