Hi all, I have a question on Network policies:
I have new pod np added to K8s cluster in namespace n and I have to allow to/fro communication from existing pods, pod a and pod b in the same namespace.
Is there a way I can edit np to use existing network policy to allow communication ? how can we edit pod to use network policy here ?

Mohamed Ettaki Talbi:
use should use np from/to labels in your pod-a pod-b

Vitor Jr.:
You probably would have to label those pods and then kubectl edit *networkpolicy...* and use podSelector to match those new labels and finally configuring the rules you need (ingress/egress/port/etc,)

@Vitor Jr.: Is there any way we can do without modifying existing netpols, I have requirement where I can’t modify existing netpols I just have to use existing netpols

Vitor Jr.:
Well, since the default behavior for np is to deny, and you don’t want to edit those you have, you could create a new np to achieve this :slightly_smiling_face:

Vitor Jr.:
We have a question just like this in the lightning lab :smile:

Mohamed Ettaki Talbi:
yeah, you modify pod labels to match NP

naveen B:
