Implementing Kubernetes Network Policy with Calico

Overview

Calico is an open-source CNI plugin that provides fine-grained network policy enforcement for Kubernetes clusters. It implements the full Kubernetes NetworkPolicy API and extends it with Calico-specific GlobalNetworkPolicy, supporting policy ordering, deny rules, and service-account-based selectors.

When to Use

When deploying or configuring implementing kubernetes network policy with calico capabilities in your environment
When establishing security controls aligned to compliance requirements
When building or improving security architecture for this domain
When conducting security assessments that require this implementation

Prerequisites

Kubernetes cluster (v1.24+)
Calico CNI installed (v3.26+)
kubectl and calicoctl CLI tools
Cluster admin RBAC permissions

Installing Calico

Operator-based Installation (Recommended)

# Install the Tigera operator
kubectl create -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/projectcalico/calico/v3.27.0/manifests/tigera-operator.yaml

# Install Calico custom resources
kubectl create -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/projectcalico/calico/v3.27.0/manifests/custom-resources.yaml

# Verify installation
kubectl get pods -n calico-system
watch kubectl get pods -n calico-system

# Install calicoctl
kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/projectcalico/calico/v3.27.0/manifests/calicoctl.yaml

Verify Calico is Running

# Check Calico pods
kubectl get pods -n calico-system

# Check Calico node status
kubectl exec -n calico-system calicoctl -- calicoctl node status

# Check IP pools
kubectl exec -n calico-system calicoctl -- calicoctl get ippool -o wide
