How Automation Can Help in Kubernetes Lands – Managing Multi-Tenant Policies with Cilium (ENG)
Kubernetes is great at managing workloads – especially if you have multiple tenants. But there is a catch: how do you manage network policies? You don’t want the ops team to manage all policies for each and every workload! But if you let the workload owners manage policies, how do you ensure that those are consistent with the compliance and cluster rules you have?
The answer is of course: automation! Via automation you can enable app owners to create and modify their own network policies while still adhering to cluster wide operational policies.
In this talk you will learn that automation is not limited to infrastructure, but can also help with typical cloud native challenges like network policies on Kubernetes clusters. Tune in to learn how the data plane Cilium uses Gitops based automation to manage network policies from various tenants and from the ops team.
