Cilium

Cilium

Cilium is a network and security platform for applications in container and microservice environments, built on native features of the Linux Kernel, it uses the most modern in capturing data flows, the eBPF (Extended Berkeley Packet Filter).

Its main function is to provide efficient and secure network control, allowing developers and infrastructure operators to manage communication between services dynamically and efficiently.

Main benefits and characteristics of Cilium

Visibility and Monitoring

Cilium provides real-time visibility into network traffic, allowing users to better understand the behavior of their applications and quickly identify problems.

Advanced Security

With the ability to implement granular identity-based security policies, Cilium improves security by allowing only authorized services to communicate with each other.

High Performance

Using eBPF allows Cilium to process network packets more efficiently, reducing overhead compared to traditional network solutions.

Scalability

Cilium is designed to work in large-scale environments such as Kubernetes, offering support for dynamic environments and microservices applications.

Integration with Kubernetes

It natively integrates with Kubernetes, allowing you to implement network policies directly into Kubernetes resources, facilitating management and automation.

Flexibility

Cilium supports both the implementation of network policies declaratively and the use of APIs, giving developers the freedom to choose how to manage the network.
