The operator builds, synchronizes, and removes policies based on that configuration.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to When NetworkPolicy provisioning is enabled, affected OpenShift ingress traffic may be blocked, certain rule configurations may keep a workspace requeuing, and policy errors can delay stopping a workspace without reporting a fatal failure in status. Resolve or explicitly accept these risks before merging. Security Architecture ReviewSecurity architecture risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to Policies are disabled by default and scoped to individual workspaces when enabled. However, changes to restrictions can remain unapplied to running workspaces until they reconcile, and a policy error can prevent a workspace from stopping. The authority to override a globally configured policy also needs to be established. Retained concerns

Persist NetworkPolicy failures and continue stopping stopped workspaces.
SyncNetworkPolicy runs before the deferred status update. A FailError can therefore update only the in-memory status and return before the failure reaches the workspace. The API server can reject invalid NetworkPolicy fields, and SyncObjectWithCluster maps those errors to FailError.
The same return occurs before the stopped-workspace branch. A NetworkPolicy failure can prevent stopWorkspace from running.

However, pods connecting to the host-networked pods might be affected by the network policy rules. - Using the `namespaceSelector` field without the `podSelector` field set to `{}` will not include `hostNetwork` pods.

This label is Operator-managed and reserved for OpenShift Container Platform networking functions. It should not be altered on system-created namespaces. Using this label can result in intermittent network connectivity drops, unintended application of system `NetworkPolicies` resource, or configuration drift as the operator attempts to reconcile the state. For custom traffic grouping, always use unique, user-defined labels as shown in the following procedure. The following example `NetworkPolicy` objects demonstrate supporting different scenarios: ... - Only allow connections from the OpenShift Container Platform Ingress Controller: To make a project allow only connections from the OpenShift Container Platform Ingress Controller, add the following `NetworkPolicy` object. ```yaml apiVersion: networking.k8s.io/v1 kind: NetworkPolicy metadata: name: allow-from-openshift-ingress spec: ingress: - from: - namespaceSelector: matchLabels: policy-group.network.openshift.io/ingress: "" podSelector: {} policyTypes: - Ingress ``` ... - Only accept connections from pods within a project: Important To allow ingress connections from `hostNetwork` pods in the same namespace, you need to apply the `allow-from-hostnetwork` policy together with the `allow-same-namespace` policy. To make pods accept connections from other pods in the same project, but reject all other connections from pods in other projects, add the following `NetworkPolicy` object: ```yaml kind: NetworkPolicy apiVersion: networking.k8s.io/v1 metadata: name: allow-same-namespace spec: podSelector: {} ingress: - from: - podSelector: {} ``` ... 3.1.1.2.

Add a host-network ingress peer.
When endpointPublishingStrategy: HostNetwork is used, router traffic can require the policy-group.network.openshift.io/host-network: "" selector. The current default rules do not allow this traffic, so enabled NetworkPolicies can block workspace Routes.
Include an empty PodSelector because a namespace selector alone does not select host-network pods.

GetDefaultConfig returns no platform-specific defaults.
The comment says that embedding projects, such as che-operator, call GetDefaultConfig to extend the defaults. defaultConfig.Workspace.NetworkPolicy is nil until setDefaultNetworkPolicy() runs. Only SetupControllerConfig and SetGlobalConfigForTesting call setDefaultNetworkPolicy(), and it is private. An embedding process does not run SetupControllerConfig, so GetDefaultConfig() always returns Workspace.NetworkPolicy == nil there. The same applies to PodSecurityContext, ContainerSecurityContext, and Overrides. The consumer then cannot extend the NetworkPolicy defaults. That is the stated purpose of the function.
Do one of the following:
- Compute the platform-specific defaults inside
GetDefaultConfig, if the infrastructure is initialized. - Document that the caller must call
infrastructure.Initialize()first, and export a function that applies the platform defaults.

🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win
Treat nil and empty slices as equal in networkPolicyDiffOpts.
generateNetworkPolicy copies the configured rules with DeepCopy, which keeps empty, non-nil slices. An admin may write, for example, from: [], ports: [], except: [] or matchExpressions: [] in a rule. The NetworkPolicy JSON fields use omitempty, so the API server stores those fields as nil.
cmp.Equal without cmpopts.EquateEmpty() treats nil and an empty slice as different. basicDiffFunc therefore reports an update on every reconcile. SyncObjectWithCluster then returns a not-in-sync error, and checkDWError requeues the workspace. The result is an endless update and requeue loop, and the workspace never gets past the policy sync.
🐛 Proposed fix
var networkPolicyDiffOpts = cmp.Options{
cmpopts.IgnoreFields(networkingv1.NetworkPolicy{}, "TypeMeta", "ObjectMeta"),
+ cmpopts.EquateEmpty(),

What does this PR do?
Adds optional per-DevWorkspace
NetworkPolicyprovisioning, configurable throughDevWorkspaceOperatorConfig.New API —
config.workspace.networkPolicy(NetworkPolicyConfig):enabledingress[]→ deny all ingress; non-empty → exactly those rules (defaults are replaced, not appended to).egress[]→ deny all egress; non-empty → exactly those rules.Note: NetworkPolicy configurations are updated on a per-workspace basis whenever the workspace is reconciled (e.g., when it is started or stopped).
What issues does this PR fix or reference?
https://redhat.atlassian.net/browse/WTO-598
Is it tested? How?
Enable the feature in the global DWOC:
Create and start a DevWorkspace, then check that the policy exists and targets only that workspace:
Confirm the workspace started successfully and operates normally with network access.
Stop the DevWorkspace:
Tighten the rules in the DWOC to block all ingress and egress:
Start the DevWorkspace again:
Verify that no network connections can be established to or from the workspa
