<p>I am trying to isolate my pods in namespace from other namespaces. I have tried to create a NetworkPolicy:</p>
<pre class="lang-yaml prettyprint-override"><code>apiVersion: networking.k8s.io/v1
kind: NetworkPolicy
metadata:
  name: deny-from-other-namespaces
spec:
  podSelector:
    matchLabels:
  ingress:
  - from:
    - podSelector: {}
</code></pre>
<p>This NetworkPolicy successfully isolating pods in my namespace from another namespace. But this policy, once applied, disables all external traffic to these pods. Is there any method for only block traffic from other namespaces and allow all external traffic to the pods.</p>

<p>You can make sure that you namespace the <code>NetworkPolicy</code> resource and restrict the ingress/egress to just namespace.</p>
<pre class="lang-yaml prettyprint-override"><code>apiVersion: extensions/v1beta1
kind: NetworkPolicy
metadata:
  name: onlywithinnamespace
  namespace: mynamespace
spec:
  ingress:
  - from:
    - namespaceSelector:
        matchLabels:
          role: mynamespace
    - podSelector: {}
  egress:
  - to:
    - namespaceSelector:
        matchLabels:
          role: mynamespace
    - podSelector: {}
  podSelector:
    matchLabels:
  policyTypes:
  - Ingress
  - Egress
</code></pre>
<p>Make sure that your namespace has the right labels to match:</p>
<pre class="lang-yaml prettyprint-override"><code>apiVersion: v1
kind: Namespace
metadata:
  labels:
    role: mynamespace
  name: mynamespace
</code></pre>
