How can I implement advanced network policies in Kubernetes?

To implement advanced network policies in Kubernetes, you can define rules that control the traffic between pods. Start by creating a NetworkPolicy resource that specifies the pod selector and the ingress/egress rules.

Can you give me an example of a NetworkPolicy YAML file?

Sure! Here's a simple example:

apiVersion: networking.k8s.io/v1
kind: NetworkPolicy
metadata:
  name: example-network-policy
spec:
  podSelector:
    matchLabels:
      role: frontend
  policyTypes:
  - Ingress
  ingress:
  - from:
    - podSelector:
        matchLabels:
          role: backend

What are the best practices for using network policies?

Some best practices include starting with a default deny-all policy, using labels effectively for pod selection, and testing policies in a staging environment before applying them in production.
