Revolutionize Your Kubernetes Network Security

Date : June 4
Time : 10.00 am PST

Managing egress traffic in Kubernetes can be challenging, especially when it comes to identifying and controlling the flow of traffic leaving the cluster. Most legacy applications and tools rely on stable network identities to authorize or restrict traffic. For these applications to coexist with Kubernetes-based applications, they expect a predictable static IP address.

The Challenge of Egress Traffic in Kubernetes

In the dynamic environment of Kubernetes, managing egress traffic can be quite complex. Traditional applications typically rely on stable, predictable IP addresses for security and authorization purposes. However, Kubernetes’ inherent dynamic nature often leads to changing IP addresses, complicating traffic management and security enforcement. This discrepancy between traditional network expectations and Kubernetes’ capabilities can create significant challenges in maintaining a secure and efficient network environment.

Simplify Egress Traffic Management with Calico’s Egress Gateway

To address these challenges, Calico’s Egress Gateway provides a robust solution for simplifying egress traffic management. Join our webinar to discover how Calico’s Egress Gateway can help you achieve a more controlled and secure egress traffic flow.

What Purpose Does an Egress Gateway Solve?

An Egress Gateway serves as a centralized control point for managing and routing outbound traffic from your Kubernetes cluster. This solution ensures that your applications can maintain the stable network identities required by legacy systems, facilitating seamless integration and coexistence between traditional and modern applications. By leveraging an Egress Gateway, you can:

  • Achieve Predictable IP Addressing: Ensure that outgoing traffic from Kubernetes pods uses a consistent, static IP address, which is crucial for applications that require stable network identities.
  • Control Egress Traffic: Implement policies to regulate and monitor the outbound traffic, enhancing security and compliance.
  • Simplify Network Configuration: Reduce the complexity associated with managing egress traffic in a dynamic Kubernetes environment.

Strengthen Your Organization’s Security Posture

Using Calico’s Egress Gateway can significantly enhance your organization’s security posture. By providing a predictable and controllable network identity for egress traffic, you can:

  • Enforce Security Policies: Apply robust security policies to monitor and control traffic, preventing unauthorized access and data breaches.
  • Improve Compliance: Ensure compliance with regulatory requirements by maintaining a consistent and auditable network configuration.
  • Enhance Visibility: Gain better visibility into your egress traffic, enabling you to identify and mitigate potential security threats more effectively.
