Introduction

Deka Guard is one of the services available in Service Portal Cloudeka that allows you to create, manage, and enforce network communication rules within a Kubernetes environment. Deka Guard provides several key functions, including the following:

1. Filtering Traffic Between Pods (Ingress & Egress)

   You can restrict pods to communicate only with specific pods, IP addresses, or ports.

2. Label and Namespace-based Network Segmentation

   You can define which labels and namespaces are allowed to communicate with each other, enabling network isolation between applications.

3. Default Deny & Whitelisting Rules

   You can configure all traffic to be denied by default and then explicitly allow specific access when required.

4. GUI Management

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