Kubernetes Traffic Engineering with Cilium: Scenarios and Best Practices

Learn from real-world traffic engineering scenarios and architecture diagrams designed to optimize Kubernetes networks.

About this video

In this video, Jeremy Colvin and Piotr Jablonksi walk through detailed scenarios and architecture diagrams that demonstrate how to apply Kubernetes traffic engineering techniques in real-world environments. Using Cilium and eBPF, you’ll learn step-by-step how to optimize traffic flow, enhance security, and improve network performance. 

 

Key takeaways: 

  • How to manage inbound and outbound traffic using Ingress and Egress Gateway. 
  • Implementing BGP to route traffic efficiently in Kubernetes clusters. 
  • Handling complex traffic flows with real-world examples, from Kubernetes to hybrid networks. 
  • Customized architecture diagrams for unique Kubernetes scenarios. 

 

Watch the video and expect a hands-on walkthrough of each scenario, complete with copies of the diagrams to take with you.
