Solution:

To allow a pod to send and receive traffic only to and from specific pods, you can use network policies in Kubernetes.

First, you will need to create a network policy that defines the allowed traffic. You can create a network policy yaml file with the following rules:

apiVersion: networking.k8s.io/v1

kind: NetworkPolicy

metadata:

name: newpod-network-policy

namespace: default

spec:

podSelector:

matchLabels:

app: kdsn00201-newpod

ingress:

- from:

- podSelector:

matchLabels:

app: web

- podSelector:

matchLabels:

app: storage

This policy will only allow incoming traffic to the pod with the label app=kdsn00201-newpod from pods with the label app=web or app=storage. If you have different labels on your web and storage pods please update the matchLabels accordingly.

Once you have created the network policy, you can apply it to the cluster by running the following command:

kubectl apply -f .yaml

This will apply the network policy to the cluster, and the newpod will only be able to send and receive traffic to and from the web and storage pods.

Please note that, NetworkPolicy resource is not available by default, you need to enable the NetworkPolicy feature on your Kubernetes cluster. This feature is enabled by default on some clusters and must be explicitly enabled on others. You can check if NetworkPolicy is available by running the command kubectl api-versions | grep networking

Also, you need to ensure that the pods that you want to allow traffic to and from are running on the same namespace.
