Description

Cilium is an open-source tool designed to enhance, secure, and monitor network interactions among container workloads and cloud-native environments, leveraging the groundbreaking Kernel technology known as eBPF. Unlike traditional setups, Kubernetes does not inherently include a Load Balancing solution, which is often left to cloud providers or the networking teams in private cloud settings. By utilizing BGP, Cilium can manage incoming traffic effectively, while also using XDP and eBPF to optimize performance. These combined technologies deliver a powerful and secure load balancing solution. Operating at the kernel level, Cilium and eBPF allow for informed decisions regarding the connectivity of various workloads, whether they reside on the same node or across different clusters. Through the integration of eBPF and XDP, Cilium significantly enhances latency and performance, replacing the need for Kube-proxy altogether, which streamlines operations and improves resource usage. This not only simplifies the network architecture but also empowers developers to focus more on application development rather than infrastructure concerns.
