Calico and K8s Network Policies - An Overview and Comparison

Oct 6, 2020 By Tigera In Tigera
In an age where attackers are becoming more and more sophisticated, network security as a line of defense is more important than ever. Network Policy is the primary tool for securing a Kubernetes network. It allows you to easily restrict the network traffic in your cluster so only the traffic that you want to flow is allowed. In this training session, we will go over the core concepts in Kubernetes Network Policies and Calico Network Policies. Compare and contrast between the two models, and highlight when to use one versus the other.

Secure Networking for Openshift

Oct 1, 2020 By Tigera In Tigera
The Kubernetes network model defines a flat network in which pod connectivity is unimpeded, with no restrictions on what traffic is allowed to or from each pod. To make a cluster production ready you need to make this networking secure. Network Policy is the primary tool for doing this and is essential to understand before considering moving a cluster to production.

Network Policy with GKE

Sep 17, 2020 By Tigera In Tigera
By default, pods are non-isolated; they accept traffic from any source. The Google GKE solution to this security concern is Network Security Policy that lets developers control network access to their services. Google GKE comes configured with Network Security Policy using Project Calico which can be used to secure your clusters. This class will describe a few use cases for network security policy and a live demo implementing each use case.
