Once we have the operator installed, let’s deploy an Nginx deployment and create a Kubernetes service for it. We expose the Nginx deployment using the ClusterIP service type in Kubernetes. By default, ClusterIP restricts access to the service from within the cluster only, meaning it won’t be accessible from outside the cluster. Later in this guide, we’ll see how to enable secure external access to this service from our local machine using NetBird (without changing the service type). For now, deploy the following Kubernetes configuration which creates an Nginx deployment and a service for it:.

Kubernetes is complex. Securing Kubernetes clusters is even more complex. Striking the right balance between granting developers and administrators access to Kubernetes clusters and services while taking care of security is a significant challenge. Overlay networks offer a solution by providing secure, controlled access to your clusters without compromising their protection. In this blog, we’ll explore the challenges of providing secure access to Kubernetes clusters, how overlay networks can address these issues, and a step-by-step tutorial on implementing this using NetBird, an open-source WireGuard-based overlay VPN.
