Lab

BGP on Cilium

Connect your Cilium-managed nodes to your datacenter network, using BGP!

Learn how to connect your Kubernetes Clusters with your on-premises network using BGP.

As Kubernetes becomes more pervasive in on-premise environments, users increasingly have both traditional applications and Cloud Native applications in their environments.

In order to connect them together and allow outside access, a mechanism to integrate Kubernetes and the existing network infrastructure running BGP is needed. Cilium offers native support for BGP, exposing Kubernetes to the outside and all the while simplifying users’ deployments.
