Understanding Tetragon and how it is different from Cilium

In this video, we explore how Cilium and Tetragon bring powerful runtime security and observability to Kubernetes using eBPF. Modern Kubernetes environments require deep visibility into workloads, system calls, and network activity. Tetragon, built by the creators of Cilium, provides real-time security observability and runtime enforcement using eBPF. 👨‍💻 Target Audience • Platform Engineers – managing Kubernetes networking and security • DevOps Engineers – implementing runtime security and observability • SREs – monitoring workloads and system behavior • Cloud / Kubernetes Architects – designing secure cloud-native infrastructure • Security Engineers (DevSecOps) – detecting suspicious runtime activity in containers 🎯 What they gain from the video • Understanding what Tetragon is • Learning how it differs from Cilium • Seeing how eBPF enables runtime security in Kubernetes • Understanding how to monitor processes and system calls in containers 🔎 What you'll learn in this video • What Cilium and Tetragon are • How eBPF powers runtime security in Kubernetes • Monitoring process execution and system calls • Detecting suspicious container behavior • Implementing runtime security policies • Observability and security for cloud-native workloads This approach enables high-performance security monitoring without sidecars or agents, making it ideal for platform engineers, SREs, and security teams running Kubernetes at scale. ⏱️ Chapters 00:41 - Introduction to Tetragon 01:40 - Relation between Tetragon and Cilium 03:05 - Difference between Tetragon and Cilium 04:14 - Capabilities of Tetragon 05:55 - Demo 21:52 - Final Thoughts 🔧 Technologies covered: Kubernetes • eBPF • Cilium • Tetragon • Runtime Security • Cloud Native Security • Observability • DevSecOps Need enterprise-grade Cilium support, 👉https://imesh.ai/request-for-enterpri... #Kubernetes #Cilium #eBPF #Tetragon #CloudNative #KubernetesSecurity #DevSecOps
