Awesome Cilium

Cilium is an open-source networking project that provides networking and security capabilities for containerized applications, microservices, and virtual machines.

Recently Cilium launched a great website about eBPF called ebpf.io. It serves a similar purpose to this list, with an introduction to eBPF.Contents

Cilium related projects

Cilium - A networking plugin for various container runtimes such as Kubernetes, Docker, and Mesos. It leverages Linux kernel features like eBPF to provide fast and secure networking and load balancing for applications.

eBPF - Technology that allows for dynamic, programmable packet filtering and network analysis in the Linux kernel.

Cilium Proxy - High-performance HTTP, TCP, and gRPC proxy that can be automatically injected into Kubernetes pods. It provides features like load balancing, health checking, and L7 visibility.

Cilium Cluster Mesh - Securely connects multiple Kubernetes clusters together using encrypted tunnels. It enables seamless communication and service discovery across clusters while maintaining strong security boundaries.

Hubble - Network visibility and monitoring tool built by the Cilium community. It provides real-time visibility into network traffic, allowing operators to gain insights into application behavior, troubleshoot connectivity issues, and enforce network security policies.

Cilium Operator - Kubernetes operator that simplifies the deployment and management of Cilium within a Kubernetes cluster. It automates tasks such as deploying Cilium agents, configuring eBPF policies, and handling upgrades.

Tetragon - Runtime security enforcement and observability tool.

Cilium Mesh - Connects Kubernetes workloads, virtual machines, and physical servers running in the cloud, on-premises, or at the edge.

NetworkPolicy Editor - Create, visualize, and share Kubernetes network policies.

Prometheus & Grafana for Cilium - Collects metrics from Cilium and stores them in Prometheus for analysis and alerting.

Cilium Helm Chart - Helm chart that can be used to deploy Cilium on Kubernetes.

Hubble adaptor for OpenTelemetry - Enables exporting Hubble flow data using OpenTelemetry collector.

Packet, where are you? - eBPF-based Linux kernel networking debugger.

Coroot - Turns telemetry data into actionable insights, helping you identify and resolve application issues quickly.

Pixie - Instant Kubernetes-native application observability.

caretta - Instant K8s service dependency map, right to your Grafana.

Netreap - Cilium controller implementation for Nomad.

Gloo Network - Enables Cilium-CNI powered by eBPF to provide networking, packet filtering, and observability for modern applications.

Bpfilter instead of iptables for routing - Bpfilter offers a new approach to packet filtering in Linux.

Inter-node traffic control - Policies that are applicable to the whole cluster (non-namespaced) and provide you with the means to specify nodes as the source and target.
