But as we dive into the other sections, we're going to be essentially taking everything that we've learned from this section, Section 1, and diving into it further. So we're going to be talking about namespaces, network policies, policy enforcement, and RBAC. So when it comes to isolation from a Kubernetes perspective, there are three main factors. Well, sorry four; namespaces, network policies, RBAC, and policy enforcement. I don't want to go too far down the rabbit hole right now, but let's do it at a high level. Now, namespaces give you the ability to logically isolate. So for example, App A and Namespace A and App B and Namespace B. However, they don't provide true security as apps can still talk to each other in various namespaces. But what they do do is give the ability to do things like set up network policies…
