Implementing Kubernetes Network Policy With Calico

# Install the Tigera operator
kubectl create -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/projectcalico/calico/v3.27.0/manifests/tigera-operator.yaml

# Install Calico custom resources
kubectl create -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/projectcalico/calico/v3.27.0/manifests/custom-resources.yaml

# Verify installation
kubectl get pods -n calico-system
watch kubectl get pods -n calico-system

# Install calicoctl
kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/projectcalico/calico/v3.27.0/manifests/calicoctl.yaml

# Check Calico pods
kubectl get pods -n calico-system

# Check Calico node status
kubectl exec -n calico-system calicoctl -- calicoctl node status

# Check IP pools
kubectl exec -n calico-system calicoctl -- calicoctl get ippool -o wide
