Epic Goal

The primary goal is to implement Kubernetes Network Policy resources for GitOps Operator manager pod to prevent unnecessary ingress and egress traffic. This directly mitigates a risk identified in the OCP Threat Model and ensures a least-privilege network security posture for all components.

Why is this important?

Without network policies, any compromised pod can freely communicate laterally within the cluster and potentially compromise critical components or leak sensitive data outside the cluster. Implementing these policies drastically reduces the risk of cluster compromise in the event a component pod is attacked.
