Cilium is an eBPF-based tool for Kubernetes that delivers fast networking, deep visibility, and strong security. It creates simple Layer 3 networks across clusters, handles load balancing to replace kube-proxy, enforces identity-based policies from L3 to L7 (like HTTP or DNS rules), supports service mesh with encryption, and offers Hubble for real-time traffic monitoring. Stable versions like v1.18.6 run on AMD64/AArch64. You gain scalable performance, easier policy management without IP hassles, better troubleshooting, and higher efficiency for large cloud-native apps, cutting costs and boosting reliability.
