Network policies
Network policies
From a networking point of view, each namespace is configured by default to provide an isolated network for everything that runs inside it, notably Pods and Services. Traffic to any Pod or Service coming from outside the namespace, even from other namespaces in Rahti, is blocked. The only traffic that is allowed in from outside the namespace is the traffic that goes through a Route. This isolation is achieved with network policies. It is possible to change this behaviour by editing the two NetworkPolicy objects that are created by default in Rahti.
Advanced networking
In the Rahti web console, under Networking > NetworkPolicies, it is possible to browse and edit the default network policies, but only in YAML format. Only change them if you are really sure of what you are doing.
For an overview of how Pods, Services, and Routes are connected in Rahti, see Networking in Rahti.
