Cilium: Scaling and Securing Kubernetes Networking with eBPF

On this episode, we deep dive into Cilium, the de facto standard for Kubernetes networking, with adoption skyrocketing across cloud providers and enterprises. Powered by eBPF, Cilium delivers lightning-fast networking, deep visibility, and enhanced security without compromising performance. In this episode, we’ll explore the growth of the Cilium community, highlight its latest features, and discuss how it integrates with Microsoft technologies like Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS). We’ll also share how developers and operators can contribute to the project and be part of one of the fastest growing communities in cloud native.
