K8s Networking

← Back to Container Orchestration

Kubernetes networking model: every pod gets its own IP, pods can communicate directly without NAT, and services provide stable endpoints. Service types: ClusterIP (internal only), NodePort (exposed on node ports), LoadBalancer (cloud LB). Network policies control traffic flow between pods.

Key Properties

• ClusterIP Service
• NodePort and LoadBalancer
• Network Policies
