For each Pod endpoint, there should be a small number of rules in that KUBE-SVC- and one KUBE-SEP- chain with a small number of rules in it. The exact rules will vary based on your exact config (including node-ports and load-balancers).\n\nAttribution: Adapted from Kubernetes Documentation under CC-BY-4.0.
