Pod networking
Pod networking refers to the system that enables containers within a pod to communicate with each other, other pods, and external networks in a Kubernetes environment. Each pod gets its own unique IP address, allowing seamless, direct communication without complex network configurations. This setup simplifies connectivity, ensures isolation, and allows containers to interact efficiently. Essentially, pod networking creates a flexible and consistent network layer that supports the dynamic, scalable nature of containerized applications running in a cloud environment.
