Allow Egress to Cloud Metadata Service

networkpolicy-allow-traffic-to-cloud-metadata-service

productKubernetes

Allow egress traffic to the cloud metadata service at 169.254.169.254 on ports 80 and 443.

What this is

A reference manifest to copy and adapt, not a rule cenroq enforces for you. It carries no severity, belongs to no bundle, and nothing on your cluster changes until you apply it yourself.

Manifest

apiVersion: networking.k8s.io/v1
kind: NetworkPolicy
metadata:
  name: allow-traffic-to-cloud-metadata-service
  annotations:
    cenroq.io/displayName: "Allow Egress to Cloud Metadata Service"
    cenroq.io/description: "Allow egress traffic to the cloud metadata service at 169.254.169.254 on ports 80 and 443."
spec:
  podSelector: {}
  policyTypes:
  - Egress
  egress:
  - to:
    - ipBlock:
        cidr: 169.254.169.254/32
    ports:
    - protocol: TCP
      port: 80
    - protocol: TCP
      port: 443

Save it as networkpolicy-allow-traffic-to-cloud-metadata-service.yaml — the commands below assume that name.

Apply it

This is a manifest, not an admission policy, so there is nothing for kubeapt validate to check it against. Adapt the selectors and namespace first, then:

$ kubectl apply -f ./networkpolicy-allow-traffic-to-cloud-metadata-service.yaml
