Cilium: The Bee's Knees of Kubernetes Networking
After we got the big picture in the first session, now it is time to pick one topic and dive deep into it. As an example, we will discuss how Cilium can help to connect your Kubernetes cluster to the rest of your data center, with the tooling you should already know: BGP! After the discussion with our main bee, we will dive into a demo environment to gain first-hand experience.

Session 2 | Cilium: The Bee's Knees of Kubernetes Networking
After we got the big picture in the first session, now it is time to pick one topic and dive deep into it. Learn how Cilium harnesses the power of eBPF (extended Bee Packet Filter) to connect your buzzing hive of Kubernetes pods in a secure and efficient way to the rest of the data center: via BGP! After a session by our main bee, we will dive into a demo environment to learn how to connect Cilium to a BGP setup.
