Isovalent and Cisco ACI: Best of Both Worlds

Learn how to integrate Kubernetes with Cisco ACI using the Isovalent platform, powered by Cilium and eBPF. Explore BGP, observability, end-to-end security, and experience demo-packed insights from networking experts!

This webinar is part of an Isovalent and Cisco ACI: Best of Both World Series. In Session 2, we’ll dive deeper into networking.

Discover the best of both worlds

As Kubernetes becomes the standard for modern applications, many network engineers wonder: how can I connect my Kubernetes clusters to a Cisco networking fabric? How do I secure traffic between my tenants and how can I manage and observe traffic across the network?

In this video, you’ll discover how to combine the best of both worlds: the Isovalent platform, powered by eBPF and Cilium, and the widely deployed Cisco Application Centric Infrastructure (ACI). Together, these technologies deliver seamless connectivity, robust security, and deep observability for Kubernetes environments.

Watch this demo-packed session where you’ll learn:

  • BGP between Cilium and ACI L3Out: Seamlessly connect Kubernetes clusters to Cisco networking fabrics. 
  • Observability with Hubble: Monitor and observe traffic across your network for better performance and troubleshooting.
  • End-to-End Security: Implement ACI Contracts, Cilium Network Policies, Encryption, and more to secure traffic between tenants.

The session is presented by architects from Cisco and Isovalent, with a wealth of experience in Cisco networking and Kubernetes and a combined 60 years’ experience in IP networking.

This webinar is part of an Isovalent and Cisco ACI: Best of Both Worlds Series. Watch Session 2 & watch Session 3!

Advanced BGP Features

BGP support was initially introduced in Cilium 1.10 and subsequent improvements have been made since, such as the recent introduction of IPv6 support in Cilium 1.12 and Service IP Advertisements in Cilium 1.13. In Cilium 1.14, we introduced more BGP features, including: – BGP Timers Customization – eBGP Multihop – BGP Graceful Restart In Cilium 1.15, the following features are being added: – BGP Peering Security with MD5 – BGP Communities Support In this lab, the user will learn about both these new features and how they can simplify their network connectivity operations.
