Abstract: Controlling the network traffic in Kubernetes is possible with Network Policies and the feature has been around for quite some time. Network Policies are like firewall rules for applications running inside Kubernetes. Most CNI Providers had the feature in their belts and for using Network Policies, EKS users had to rely on other CNI Providers like Cilium or Calico but it is now available with VPC CNI as well. The best part is, VPC CNI is leveraging the eBPF technology for Network Policies to allow more efficient packet filtering and it unlocks the potential for better overall performance when compared to iptables. In this talk, I will explain how to enable Network Policies for VPC CNI and demonstrate the usage with an example scenario.
