Cilium Tetragon 1.0 has arrived! marking a significant stride in Kubernetes security and observability, offering low-overhead, eBPF-driven runtime enforcement and monitoring
Learn how DB Schneker migrated their Kubernetes platform CNI from Calico to Cilium
Explore the reasons why Trendyol chose Cilium and the value they received from it
The first ever eBPF Summit is just over one week out and we are already well past 1'000 registrations. We have been blown away by the number of talk and keynote proposals. This also meant that we had to turn down many fantastic talks and we hope that our selection provides an interesting and diverse set of talks. Some of the content that did not make the schedule will be posted as blog posts on ebpf.io over the coming weeks. In this post, we'll give a quick preview of what to be excited about and how to plan to attend the event.
A couple of weeks ago, the Alibaba team presented details on the new datapath for the Alibaba Cloud during the SIG Cloud-Provider-Alibaba meeting and also published a blog post with the technical architecture. Guess what, it is all Cilium & eBPF based. Alibaba Cloud is not the first cloud provider to directly embed Cilium. Recently, Google announced the availability of Dataplane V2 based on Cilium & eBPF for GKE and Anthos. What is unique to Alibaba's setup is the use of IPVLAN as we will learn below. In this blog post, we will dive into the details of the Terway CNI, the CNI plugin of Alibaba Cloud, and review some of the statements made in the blog post.
This is a guest blog by Josh Van Leeuwen and covers how Josh implemented a CNI live migration for a customer, Sky Betting and Gaming, to live migrate a cluster running the Canal CNI plugin (Flannel+Calico) to Cilium. Josh is working as a Customer Reliability Engineer for Jetstack. Read on to hear what Josh has to say...
Wildlife Studios is a Brazil-based global gaming company, one of the twenty largest mobile gaming companies in the world, with more than 700 employees and offices in Brazil, Argentina, Ireland, and the United States. Their games are distributed in over 150 countries, and have been downloaded over two billion times. Their online gaming infrastructure relies on several services deployed all over the globe, which are shipped from around 30,000 Kubernetes pods running on 2,500 nodes.
Google introduces GKE Dataplane V2, an opinionated dataplane that harnesses the power of Cilium, an open source project that makes the Linux kernel Kubernetes-aware using eBPF
Today marks an exciting day for the Cilium community and all Cilium contributors, Google just announced that Cilium has been selected and made available as the new datapath for GKE and Anthos.In this post, we will take a look behind the scenes that lead up to this.
Multitenancy is a common pattern in Kubernetes. Many organizations deploy Kubernetes-as-a-Service, where one cluster houses many tenants and workloads. This pattern might sound familiar, as cloud computing services like AWS, Azure, and GCP have enabled multiple customers (tenants) to run their business-critical workloads in a single cluster for years.
Recently a vulnerability was discovered by Etienne Champetier that impacted several Kubernetes CNIs. The vulnerability worked by having an attacker pod send rogue IPv6 “Router Advertisement” packets to the host worker node, causing the node to route its IPv6 traffic through the attackers pod (commonly known as “Man-In-The-Middle”). Fortunately for users of Cilium, this vulnerability didn’t impact their environments because of several built-in and on-by-default security features provided by Cilium.In this blog post, we’ll discuss how on-by-default Cilium features automatically protect against these common types of network attacks.
We are excited to announce the Cilium 1.8 release. A total of 2162 commits have been contributed by a community of 182 developers, many of whom made their first contributions this cycle. Cilium 1.8 brings with it a trove of exciting new features
