Hello.  
How do I create a networkzone with the ActiveGate that was created in K8 (Openshift). I want all pods to use this AG?

I currently see pod connections to the AG in Openshift and to other Ags

Hi&nbsp;[@JAR](https://community.dynatrace.com/user/48634)

You can create a networkzone in the dynakube custom resource yaml. Uncommnet networkZone line and give a name to your networkzone.

# Optional: Sets Network Zone for OneAgent and ActiveGate pods# Make sure networkZones are enabled on your cluster before (see [Get started with network zones — Dynatrace Docs](https://www.dynatrace.com/support/help/setup-and-configuration/network-zones/network-zones-basic-info/))#networkZone: your network zone name&nbsp;I hope it helps.Br, Mizső

Thank [@Mizső](https://community.dynatrace.com/user/47783)&nbsp;s .  
So.. if I use a new NZ name , it will be unique for the AG containerized&nbsp; and pods.

Correct?

Br, Jose

Hi&nbsp;[@JAR](https://community.dynatrace.com/user/48634),

It is correct in my opinion. I created netwok zones by openshift clusters level. Every single openshift (kubernetes) cluster has a network zone in my managed setup. Within a cluster pods communicate only the containerized pod (or pods - you can scale up the number og ag pods in the dynakube custom resource yaml.
