Securing Kubernetes Network Traffic
Learn advanced techniques for securing network communication within and outside your Kubernetes cluster.
Securing K8s Networks
Kubernetes network security is vital! It's about protecting the communication paths between your applications, inside and outside the cluster.
Without proper controls, malicious actors could gain unauthorized access, steal data, or disrupt your services. We'll explore advanced techniques to lock down your network.
Network Policies Refresher
Remember Kubernetes Network Policies? They act like firewalls for your pods, controlling which pods can communicate with each other and with external endpoints.
- They are namespace-scoped.
- They define ingress (inbound) and egress (outbound) rules.
- They rely on labels to select pods.
We'll now look at more advanced ways to use them for robust security.
