Initial release of Amazon EKS Network Policy Agent. Network Policy Agent is a daemonset that is responsible for enforcing configured network policies on the cluster. Network policy support is a feature of the Amazon VPC CNI.
Network Policy Controller resolves the configured network policies and publishes the resolved endpoints via Custom CRD (PolicyEndpoints) resource. Network Policy agent derives the endpoints from PolicyEndpoint resources and enforces them via eBPF probes attached to pod's host Veth interface.
Starting with Amazon VPC CNI v1.14.0, Network Policy agent will be automatically installed. Review the instructions in the EKS User Guide.
