Calico is an open-source solution for secure connectivity within Kubernetes. Calico provides a container networking solution to establish connectivity as well as a network policy engine for managing and securing network traffic.

Google GKE has built-in support for Calico providing a robust implementation of the full Kubernetes Network Policy API.
