#networkpolicy
Lock down ingress traffic with NetworkPolicies plus an internal-only IngressClass. Pod selector matches ingress controller pods, rules restrict to LB CIDRs. #kubernetes #networkpolicy #ingress https://www.valtersit.com/vault/restrict-ingress-exposure-with-networkpolicy-and-internalonl-582492/

EKS-এ একই node-এর একটা pod neighbour-এর NetworkPolicy পাশ কাটাতে পারত। Fix: VPC CNI 1.22.3, কোনো workaround নেই।

NetworkPolicy একটা filter, tenant-এর দেয়াল না।

আপনি কি একই node-এ আলাদা tenant চালান?

A pod on the same EKS node could sneak past its neighbour's NetworkPolicy. Fixed in VPC CNI 1.22.3, no workaround.

NetworkPolicy is a filter, not a tenant wall.

Do you run different tenants on the same node?

Starting now at Agent Substrate Day in Salt Lake City: Keith Mattix on Network Policy at Substrate Scale.

Substrate is running. Now your actors have to fit your security posture. Keith shows how Substrate's zero trust tools compose with service mesh and Kubernetes NetworkPolicy.

Before trying gVisor for agent sandboxes on plain k8s: runsc as a containerd shim on each node, exposed via RuntimeClass, systrap platform (ptrace is slow). It isolates syscalls, not credentials: still set automountServiceAccountToken: false plus a deny-all NetworkPolicy.

K3s isn't "Kubernetes with less networking." It just made the CNI choice for you.

Flannel/VXLAN by default; kubeadm ships no CNI. The catch: Flannel doesn't enforce NetworkPolicy, so namespace isolation is often silently off. Pick Calico or Cilium before production.

K3s vs Standard Kubernetes: How Different Their CNI Starting Points Really Are
K3s ships with Flannel built in, while standard Kubernetes starts with no CNI selected at all. This comparison, grounded in the official K3s, Kubernetes, Calico, and Cilium docs, explains how that dif...

AWS Patches Critical Amazon EKS Network Policy Agent Bypass Vulnerability + Video
Introduction: Amazon Web Services (AWS) addressed a significant security vulnerability in the Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) Network Policy Agent (aws-1etwork-policy-agent), a critical component of the Amazon VPC CNI plugin. The flaw allows authenticated workloads inside a cluster to bypass Kubernetes `NetworkPolicy` ingress controls and break isolation barriers intended to protect adjacent pod workloads. Without timely updates to cluster policy agents, low-privilege pods running on shared nodes could access unauthorized east-west network traffic, compromising multi-tenant security guarantees.

FQDN Network Policy turns hostnames into current IP addresses and creates standard Kubernetes NetworkPolicy rules, so teams can control outbound traffic on any CNI without replacing their network plugin

Layer 4: default-deny NetworkPolicy. podSelector {}, policyTypes Ingress + Egress, zero egress rules. No metadata endpoint, no internal services, no DNS.

Resist "just allow kube-dns": a resolver is a data channel. On a CNI that ignores NetworkPolicy it protects nothing.

7/ Two more timeout causes. A default-deny NetworkPolicy in the webhook ns blocks the API server like any client; control-plane traffic has no pod selector, allow it by CIDR. Or the webhook is slow: p99 near timeoutSeconds = intermittent failures that look like flaky network.

When a deploy works in staging but not in prod, check in this order:
1. Image tag
2. ConfigMap drift
3. A Secret someone edited by hand
4. NetworkPolicy
5. Accept that it was DNS

4/ Also behind the timeout: default-deny NetworkPolicy on the webhook namespace (control-plane traffic has no pod selector, allow by CIDR), or a webhook that is just slow.

p99 of apiserver_admission_webhook_admission_duration_seconds near timeoutSeconds = flaky-looking timeouts.
