How to allow access to kubernetes api using egress network policy?

问题

Init container with kubectl get pod command is used to get ready status of other pod.

After Egress NetworkPolicy was turned on init container can't access Kubernetes API: Unable to connect to the server: dial tcp 10.96.0.1:443: i/o timeout. CNI is Calico.

Several rules were tried but none of them are working (service and master host IPs, different CIDR masks):

...
  egress:
  - to:
    - ipBlock:
        cidr: 10.96.0.1/32
    ports:
    - protocol: TCP
      port: 443
...

or using namespace (default and kube-system namespaces):

...
  egress:
  - to:
    - namespaceSelector:
        matchLabels:
          name: default
    ports:
    - protocol: TCP
      port: 443
...

Looks like ipBlock rules just don't work and namespace rules don't work because kubernetes api is non-standard pod.

Can it be configured? Kubernetes is 1.9.5, Calico is 3.1.1.

Problem still exists with GKE 1.13.7-gke.8 and calico 3.2.7

You need to get the real ip of the master using 'kubectl get endpoints --namespace default kubernetes' and make an egress policy to allow that.

---
kind: NetworkPolicy
apiVersion: networking.k8s.io/v1 
metadata:
  name: allow-apiserver
  namespace: test
spec:
  policyTypes:
  - Egress
  podSelector: {}
  egress:
  - ports:
    - port: 443
      protocol: TCP
    to:
    - ipBlock:
        cidr: x.x.x.x/32

The inly workaround I could come up with so far is the following:

  podSelector:
    matchLabels:
      white: listed
  egress:
    - to:
        - ipBlock:
            cidr: 0.0.0.0/0

This will allow accessing the API server - along with all other IP addresses on the internet :-/

You can combine this with the DENY all non-whitelisted traffic from a namespace rule to deny egress for all other pods.
