Cilium

An open-source solution using eBPF for networking, observability, and security across cloud-native environments and Kubernetes clusters

It takes care to curate a safe software space. Help us do more.

&

+
EBPF Integration
Uses eBPF to insert programs into the kernel to execute network operations directly within the operating system
+
Network Policy Enforcement
Provides mechanisms to define and apply rules that control traffic between endpoints and regulates data exchange among workloads
+
Container Networking Interface (CNI) Support
Sets up network connectivity for container environments using a CNI plugin and integrates workload connectivity with orchestration systems
+
Network Flow Logging
Records data on traffic flows along with associated metrics to support the analysis and monitoring of network events
+
Observability Integration
Aggregates network event data for operational insight to supports real-time observation of data plane activities
+
API Access
Provides an API to automate network configuration and policy management tasks in the system.
+
Protocol Inspection
Analyzes network layer protocols through kernel-level processing and reveals packet exchange details within the data plane
+
Load Balancing
Distributes incoming traffic across endpoints at the network layer to coordinate and balance the network load across the cluster
+
Runtime Policy Enforcement
Applies network policies in real time to update rules without system restarts.
