In the dynamic world of Microsoft AKS, where workloads frequently interact with other Microsoft Azure services and third-party services, securing workload communication inside and outside the cluster is paramount. This challenge is amplified by the distributed, ephemeral nature of AKS workloads.

Calico steps in to fill this gap, offering egress-based access controls, microsegmentation, network policy implementation, traffic visualization for Microsoft AKS workloads and facilitating secure and controlled data flow between Kubernetes pods and external resources.

In our upcoming webinar, we will explore:

• Deploy zero-trust workload access controls with namespace isolation recommendations
• DNS policies to limit access to external resources
• Network sets to limit access to external resources by IP ranges
• Block lateral movement of APTs with identity-aware microsegmentation
• Runtime visualization, anomaly detection, and live troubleshooting of microservices
