• SIG-NETWORK is responsible for Kubernetes network components such as pod networking, ingress and egress traffic, service abstractions, and network policies
• The SIG is focused on major projects such as dual stack support, gateway API for L4 and L7, and network policy improvements
• IPv4 v6 dual stack is now GA and services and pods now support both IPv4 and IPv6
• Gateway API has made significant progress towards v1 alpha 2 and aims to be role-oriented and extensible
• Reference policy governs whether or not a given resource is allowed to be referenced from another namespace
• A CVE was discovered in the 122-123 cycle regarding endpoint or endpoint slice APIs directing traffic with unintended effects
• The mitigation for this issue is to treat the ability to create, modify endpoint and endpoint slices as a privileged operation and remove this capability from the ordinary users of your cluster
