Introduction

Deka Guard is one of Service Portal Cloudeka that allows you to create, manage, and granularly enforce network communication rules in a Kubernetes environment. There are several main functions provided by Deka Guard including the following.

  1. Filtering traffic between pods (Ingress & Egress)

    You can restrict pods to only communicate with certain pods, certain IPs, or certain ports.

  2. Label and namespace-based network segmentation.

    You can define what labels are allowed to communicate with each other, thus building isolation between applications.

  3. Default Deny & Whitelisting Rules

    You can support configuring all traffic to be denied, then explicitly allow certain access.

  4. GUI Management

    Compared to writing YAML manually, Deka Guard simplifies policy management through a friendly user interface.
