Cilium
Cloud Native, eBPF-based Networking, Observability, and Security
Cilium is an open-source networking, observability, and security solution for cloud-native environments, built on the eBPF Linux kernel technology. It provides high-performance networking and fine-grained security policies for Kubernetes and other container orchestration platforms. Cilium leverages eBPF to enable deep visibility and control over network traffic without requiring application code changes.
Cilium uses eBPF technology to hook into the Linux kernel, enabling dynamic network policy enforcement, load balancing, and observability without modifying application code.
