Join the creators of eBPF and Cilium to discover the exciting and new features in Cilium and Isovalent Enterprise for Cilium 1.16, including selective encryption, Egress GW IPAM, Gateway API GAMMA and more. Watch the recording!
In this video, join Thomas Graf, founder of the Cilium project, and Nico Vibert, Senior Staff Technical Marketing Engineer as they discuss the latest innovations in the leading Cloud Native Networking Platform Cilium and Isovalent’s Enterprise edition.
Thomas and Nico walk you through the newest features, including:
🔒 Selective encryption
🌐 Egress IPAM
🔄 Gateway API GAMMA for east-west traffic management
We also preview some of the major themes in Cilium in 2025 and beyond, and have a Q&A for feedback and roadmap questions!
Cilium 1.16 is out! Including Netkit for the veth replacement for high-performance networking, Gateway API GAMMA support, BGPv2 and more!
Discover how to provide micro-segmentation for virtual machines with Kubernetes using Isovalent Enterprise for Cilium and KubeVirt.
Cilium introduced support for Local Redirect Policies in version 1.11, providing a powerful mechanism to control traffic routing within your Kubernetes cluster. Since then, additional improvements have expanded the possibilities for topology-aware load balancing and node-local optimizations. In this lab, using a Star Wars-inspired theme based on the iconic “These are not the droids you’re looking for” scene, you’ll explore how these features can enhance service performance and reduce latency. You’ll start by deploying a sample application, then progress through hands-on exercises that demonstrate the use of Kubernetes’ new trafficDistribution feature and Cilium’s Local Redirect Policies to redirect traffic locally within nodes. Finally, you’ll implement a local DNS cache on each node to improve DNS resolution times. By the end of this lab, you’ll have a practical understanding of how to use these advanced traffic management features to optimize the flow of traffic across your cluster.
