What Aviatrix Kubernetes Firewall is

Aviatrix Kubernetes Firewall governs ingress, egress, and east-west traffic for Kubernetes workloads across clusters, clouds, and other environments. It applies Zero Trust controls at the cloud network layer outside Kubernetes, avoiding sidecars, agents, CNI replacement, and application changes. Policies can target pods, namespaces, services, and labels through Kubernetes-native identities, helping limit lateral movement and incident impact. The firewall supports AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, and on-premises environments, including EKS, AKS, and GKE. A centralized control plane manages multicloud and multicluster policy, with automation through Terraform, Kubernetes custom resource definitions, GitOps, and policy in Kubernetes manifests. Traffic visibility includes observability and anomaly detection. Listed security features include distributed firewalling, threat prevention, advanced NAT, URL filtering, egress control, micro-segmentation, TLS decryption, and DNS firewalling. Advanced NAT addresses overlapping IP ranges. Policy-based egress filtering is described for PCI DSS, HIPAA, and SOC 2. Pricing is on request, with a free 30-day trial.
