Networking, security & observability with Cilium

Raymond de Jong, Senior Solutions Architect at Isovalent, was our guest as we explored Cilium - a BPF-powered open-source Cloud Native Networking solution, providing security, observability, scalability, and superior performance.

Civo's own Kunal Kushwaha also looked at using Cilium for network policy security on Civo Kubernetes.

Raymond's talk: Cilium - eBPF Powered Networking, Security & Observability

In this session, we discovered how Cilium with eBPF increases networking performance while providing identity and application-aware security and visibility for your cloud-native workloads. We also looked at Hubble, Cilium's fully distributed networking and security observability platform, and how eBPF enables deep visibility into the communication and behavior of services and networking infrastructure in a completely transparent manner.

Kunal's talk: Cilium network policy security tutorial on Civo

In this talk, we demonstrated how you can use Cilium as your preferred CNI when creating a cluster, and we deployed an application to test out various network policy security features, such as identity-aware, HTTP-aware, and more.
