Policies

Supported Configurations
Running the control plane as a container with:
info

Network policies in the tenant cluster rely on the support for this feature in the control plane cluster. Make sure that your control plane cluster satisfies the network policy prerequisites.

Policies cover several different topics:

  • Limit ranges control the storage / CPU / memory that each pod may request.
  • Resource quotas.
  • Pod security standards
  • Network policies like network isolation.
  • Admission webhooks
    • Central Admission Control
    • The admission controller is typically running on the control plane cluster, where the policies enforced by the webhook cannot be changed by the tenant cluster.
    • Users could deploy their own admission webhooks to the tenant cluster, but there's little value in doing so, and this configuration is not concerned with that use case.
    • Some examples of admission controller projects:
    • It's common for organizations to develop an in-house collection of policies that can enforce naming standards etc.

You can use these settings separately for specific cases, or together, as in the case of Isolated Mode.

Config reference​

If this field is empty or missing, this rule matches all ports (traffic not restricted by port). If this field is present and contains at least one item, then this rule allows traffic only if the traffic matches at least one port in the list.

protocol string ​
