{{% capture overview %}}
This document helps you get started using the Kubernetes [NetworkPolicy API](/docs/concepts/services-networking/network-policies/) to declare network policies that govern how pods communicate with each other.

{{< include "task-tutorial-prereqs.md" >}} {{< version-check >}}
Make sure you've configured a network provider with network policy support. There are a number of network providers that support NetworkPolicy, including:
* [Calico](/docs/tasks/administer-cluster/network-policy-provider/calico-network-policy/)
* [Cilium](/docs/tasks/administer-cluster/network-policy-provider/cilium-network-policy/)
* [Kube-router](/docs/tasks/administer-cluster/network-policy-provider/kube-router-network-policy/)
* [Romana](/docs/tasks/administer-cluster/network-policy-provider/romana-network-policy/)
* [Weave Net](/docs/tasks/administer-cluster/network-policy-provider/weave-network-policy/)
{{< note >}}
The above list is sorted alphabetically by product name, not by recommendation or preference. This example is valid for a Kubernetes cluster using any of these providers.

## Create an `nginx` deployment and expose it via a service
To see how Kubernetes network policy works, start off by creating an `nginx` deployment.
```console
kubectl run nginx --image=nginx --replicas=2
```
```none
deployment.apps/nginx created
```
And expose it via a service.
```console
kubectl expose deployment nginx --port=80
```
```none
service/nginx exposed
```
This runs two `nginx` pods in the default namespace, and exposes them through a service called `nginx`.
```console
kubectl get svc,pod
```
```none
NAME CLUSTER-IP EXTERNAL-IP PORT(S) AGE
service/kubernetes 10.100.0.1 <none> 443/TCP 46m
service/nginx 10.100.0.16 <none> 80/TCP 33s
NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE
pod/nginx-701339712-e0qfq 1/1 Running 0 35s
pod/nginx-701339712-o00ef 1/1 Running 0 35s
```
## Test the service by accessing it from another pod
You should be able to access the new `nginx` service from other pods. To test, access the service from another pod in the default namespace. Make sure you haven't enabled isolation on the namespace.
Start a busybox container, and use `wget` on the `nginx` service:
```console
kubectl run busybox --rm -ti --image=busybox /bin/sh
```
```console
Waiting for pod default/busybox-472357175-y0m47 to be running, status is Pending, pod ready: false
Hit enter for command prompt
/ # wget --spider --timeout=1 nginx
Connecting to nginx (10.100.0.16:80)
/ #
```
## Limit access to the `nginx` service
Let's say you want to limit access to the `nginx` service so that only pods with the label `access: true` can query it. To do that, create a `NetworkPolicy` that allows connections only from those pods:
```yaml
apiVersion: networking.k8s.io/v1
kind: NetworkPolicy
metadata:
name: access-nginx
spec:
podSelector:
matchLabels:
run: nginx
ingress:
- from:
- podSelector:
matchLabels:
access: "true"
```
## Assign the policy to the service
Use kubectl to create a NetworkPolicy from the above nginx-policy.yaml file:
```console
kubectl apply -f nginx-policy.yaml
```
```none
networkpolicy.networking.k8s.io/access-nginx created
```
## Test access to the service when access label is not defined
If we attempt to access the nginx Service from a pod without the correct labels, the request will now time out:
```console
kubectl run busybox --rm -ti --image=busybox /bin/sh
```
```console
Waiting for pod default/busybox-472357175-y0m47 to be running, status is Pending, pod ready: false
Hit enter for command prompt
/ # wget --spider --timeout=1 nginx
Connecting to nginx (10.100.0.16:80)
wget: download timed out
/ #
```
## Define access label and test again
Create a pod with the correct labels, and you'll see that the request is allowed:
```console
kubectl run busybox --rm -ti --labels="access=true" --image=busybox /bin/sh
```
```console
Waiting for pod default/busybox-472357175-y0m47 to be running, status is Pending, pod ready: false
Hit enter for command prompt
/ # wget --spider --timeout=1 nginx
Connecting to nginx (10.100.0.16:80)
/ #
```
