= Using network namespaces

{product-title} uses software-defined networking (SDN) to provide a unified
cluster network that enables communication between containers across the
cluster.

Network policy mode, by default, makes all pods in a project accessible from
other pods and network endpoints.
To isolate one or more pods in a project, you can create NetworkPolicy objects
in that project to indicate the allowed incoming connections.
Using multitenant mode, you can provide project-level isolation for pods and services.
