Play the recording: AdminNetworkPolicy: From Alpha To Beta and Beyond

  • Why: The SIG-Network policy API is where cluster-wide, admin-tier network security is actually being standardized. Knowing where AdminNetworkPolicy (ANP) and BaselineAdminNetworkPolicy are heading affects how every CNI will enforce policy.
  • What: A working-group update on graduating ANP and BaselineANP toward beta, plus the roadmap for the Network Policy API. (from abstract only)
  • How: Contributor-led walkthrough of the API surface for cluster-scoped, admin-defined network policy that sits above namespace-scoped NetworkPolicy. (from abstract only)
  • Where applicable: Any Kubernetes cluster; CNI support varies (OVN-Kubernetes and others are tracking it). General standards-direction content.
