See: https://github.com/ahmetb/kubernetes-network-policy-recipes/blob/master/04-deny-traffic-from-other-namespaces.md for an example of what you are looking to do.

This is not great for multi-tenancy, but you can correct this with NetworkPolicies.

I'd recommend using this collection of network policy recipes to test out these 2 tools and see how they can be helpful to your workflow.

Here's an example policy I've tried. https://github.com/ahmetb/kubernetes-network-policy-recipes/blob/master/03-deny-all-non-whitelisted-traffic-in-the-namespace.md

The Network Policies recipes here: https://github.com/ahmetb/kubernetes-network-policy-recipes -- Do not under any circumstances overlook this goldmine of network policy examples. Super important.

Good to learn more in Kubernetes network policy for CKx exams and EKS. Below are resources: 1/ read official doc and try to understand them well - https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/services-networking/network-policies/ 2/ bookmark samples for exams and EKS setups - https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/services-networking/network-policies/#networkpolicy-resource 3/ do more practices at https://github.com/ahmetb/kubernetes-network-policy-recipes 4/ visualize (image below) and try more at https://editor.cilium.io/ - it allows you to save the final netpol in k8s netpol OR Cilium netpol (EKS-A is using Cilium !)

Pierre: The first tool I recommend is K9s. It's not just a time-saver but a productivity booster. With its intuitive interface, you can speed up all the usual kubectl commands, access logs, edit resources and configurations, and more. It's like having a personal assistant for your cluster management tasks.

The last thing you really need is a common set of tools that you want fingertip access to. I really commonly use LazyGit and K9s in my day job so those are the tools I will show off in this article.

K9s is your best friend (get it? 🐶) when exploring your cluster via the terminal. It shares commonality with Vim for its interaction style using shortcuts and starting commands with: but don’t let that discourage you. K9s keeps a vigilant eye on Kubernetes activities, providing real-time information and intuitive commands for resource interaction.

k9s: brew install k9s

I would like to put in a vote for k9s, which is also on the list at Terminal Trove. [0] It's the most convenient tool I've ever found for Kubernetes management. Based on that experience I'll definitely be checking out Harlequin.

$ wget https://github.com/derailed/k9s/releases/download/v0.29.1/k9s_Darwin_amd64.tar.gz $ tar -xzf k9s_Darwin_amd64.tar.gz $ sudo mv k9s /usr/local/bin/

All in all, run things, do some kubectl apply -f something.yml every day, install k9s, and try to configure a big one cluster at some point.

(K9s is one of my favorite tools for navigating Kubernetes clusters through the CLI).

K9s is an open-source, terminal-based UI for interacting with your Kubernetes clusters, making navigating, observing, and managing your apps easier. If you use Kubectl but wish it was easier and faster to use, K9s might be just what you're looking for!
