Network Policies & Security

What problem does it solve?

This Skill addresses the critical need to control and secure network traffic within Kubernetes clusters, preventing unauthorized access and ensuring data integrity.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Network Segmentation: Implement micro-segmentation using Kubernetes Network Policies to isolate pods and namespaces.
• Traffic Control: Define granular ingress and egress rules to allow only necessary communication between services.
• Security Tools Integration: Leverage tools like Calico and Cilium for advanced policy enforcement and threat detection.
• Use Case: Secure a multi-tenant Kubernetes environment by ensuring that pods in one tenant's namespace cannot communicate with pods in another, except for explicitly allowed API endpoints.

Quick Start

Use the network policies skill to implement a default deny-all policy for the 'production' namespace.
