Kubernetes networking is a critical aspect of managing containerized applications in a distributed environment. It ensures that containers within a Kubernetes cluster can communicate with each other, with external users, and with other services smoothly.

Let's explore the key concepts and components of Kubernetes networking:

Pod Networking:

  • Pods share the same network namespace and can communicate via localhost.
  • Kubernetes assigns each Pod a unique IP address for inter-node communication.
    Service Networking:
  • Services provide stable endpoints for accessing Pods.
  • ClusterIP, NodePort, and LoadBalancer are common Service types for internal and external access.
    Ingress Networking:
  • Ingress manages external access to Services based on HTTP/HTTPS rules.
  • Ingress controllers handle traffic routing to Services within the cluster.
    Network Policies:
  • This defines rules for Pod-to-Pod communication and access to external resources.
  • It enables fine-grained control over network traffic within the cluster.
    Container Network Interface (CNI):
  • A standard for defining plugins that handle networking in container runtimes.
  • Used by Kubernetes to manage network interfaces and IP addresses.
    Networking Plugins:
  • Kube-Proxy manages network rules for routing traffic to Services.
  • CoreDNS resolves DNS queries for Kubernetes Services and Pods.
