Network Policies vs Firewall Rules
Developers should learn and use Network Policies when deploying applications on Kubernetes to enforce security boundaries between services, prevent lateral movement of threats, and comply with regulatory requirements meets developers should learn firewall rules to secure applications and infrastructure, especially when deploying services in cloud environments or managing on-premises servers. Here's our take.
Network Policies

- +Related to: kubernetes, container-networking
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
Firewall Rules
Developers should learn firewall rules to secure applications and infrastructure, especially when deploying services in cloud environments or managing on-premises servers
Pros
- +They are essential for configuring access controls, preventing attacks like DDoS or port scanning, and ensuring compliance with security standards in DevOps and system administration roles
- +Related to: network-security, iptables
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
The Verdict
Use Network Policies if: You want they are essential for production environments where different components (e and can live with specific tradeoffs depend on your use case.
Use Firewall Rules if: You prioritize they are essential for configuring access controls, preventing attacks like ddos or port scanning, and ensuring compliance with security standards in devops and system administration roles over what Network Policies offers.
