Kubernetes - Namespaces

You have a multi-tenant Kubernetes cluster with namespaces team-a and team-b. How can you ensure that services in team-a namespace are only accessible by pods in team-a namespace and not from team-b?

ALabel all pods in team-b namespace as backend

BUse Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) to restrict service access

CUse a ConfigMap to block traffic from team-b

DApply a NetworkPolicy in team-a namespace allowing ingress only from pods in team-a namespace

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Understand NetworkPolicy for traffic control
NetworkPolicy can restrict ingress traffic to pods from specific namespaces.
Step 2: Apply NetworkPolicy in team-a namespace
Allow ingress only from pods in team-a namespace to block team-b pods.
Final Answer:
Apply a NetworkPolicy in team-a namespace allowing ingress only from pods in team-a namespace -> Option D
Quick Check:
NetworkPolicy controls pod network access, RBAC does not block network traffic [OK]

Quick Trick: Use NetworkPolicy to isolate namespaces by restricting ingress [OK]

Common Mistakes:

Confusing RBAC with network access control
Using labels incorrectly to block traffic
Trying to use ConfigMap for network restrictions
