description: "If you are new to Kubernetes, start with \"Kubernetes policy\" and learn the basics of enforcing policy for pod traffic. Otherwise, dive in and create more powerful policies with Calico policy. The good news is, Kubernetes and Calico policies are very similar and work alongside each other -- so managing both types is easy."
