[01:30] Cilium 1.13 comes with a fully integrated with a HTTP traffic splitting engine!

[01:47] In this mini-demo, you will learn about internalTrafficPolicy support on Cilium! This feature was added with Cilium 1.13.

[01:41] In this mini-demo, you will get an insight into Load-Balancer IP Address Management support on Cilium! This feature was added with Cilium 1.13.

[01:21] In this mini-demo, you will get an insight into SCTP support on Cilium! This feature was added with Cilium 1.13.

[01:09] What’s new in Cilium 1.13 is the ability to use Cilium to advertise not just the Pod IP range but Kubernetes Service IPs.

SCTP (Stream Control Transmission Protocol) is a transport-layer protocol used for communication between applications. It is similar to TCP, but it provides additional features such as multi-homing and message fragmentation. Applications that require reliable, ordered delivery of data, but also need the ability to handle multiple streams of data simultaneously can use SCTP. SCTP is primarily used by service providers and mobile operators. While SCTP support for Kubernetes Services, Endpoint and NetworkPolicy was introduced in Kubernetes 1.12, you still need a CNI to support it. Good news: basic support for SCTP was introduced in Cilium 1.13!

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. In Cilium 1.13, that support was enhanced with the introduction of Load Balancer IPAM and BGP Service address advertisements. In this lab, you will learn about both these new features and how they can simplify your network connectivity operations.

Ever wonder how to install a specific version of Cilium? Or whether to use Helm or the cilium-cli? Let's look at the many ways to install Cilium.

We now have badges for Isovalent certified Cilium hands-on labs. Collect all four of them over the holidays.

In this 3-part webinar series, Isovalent developers tell the story of how and why eBPF was created, how eBPF works and how Cilium was born.

[39:52] The final part of the How the Hive Came to Bee series is presented by Joe Stringer (Cilium maintainer).

[60:56] Join us for the second session of our eBPF Creators webinar series to learn how eBPF works at the kernel level. You will learn how eBPF functions under the hood, discuss the internal workings, and see “how things are actually done” with eBPF.

[52:11] Tune in to the first session of our eBPF Creators' webinar series to hear how eBPF was started, and what challenges that can be solved with eBPF that was impossible before. In this session you will learn the impact of eBPF and how it is fundamentally changing networking, tracing, and security.

Capital One needed to scale their PaaS to multiple teams - but required secure network isolation, visibility and minimal performance overhead. Isovalent Cilium Enterprise met all requirements and scaled past the iptables limits. Hubble’s additional observability capabilities helped their teams to do more from the start.

Isovalent helped PostFinance to build a scalable Kubernetes platform to run mission-critical banking software in production. By migrating to Cilium as the default CNI for kubernetes, they were able to solve their challenges regarding scale, observability and latency. The network was made visible, improving troubleshooting, enabling forensic analysis and transparently encrypt network traffic.

Microsoft and Isovalent enter a strategic partnership to bring eBPF-based Cilium and Tetragon to Azure and AKS.

[05:40] In this demo, Isovalent Staff Software Engineer Louis DeLosSantos walks through an introductory demo of SRv6 on Cilium, for a L3VPN use case. The demo was first shown live during eBPF Day North America 2022.

In this tutorial, you'll learn how easy it is to encrypt Kubernetes traffic using Cilium Transparent Encryption with IPsec and WireGuard.

You already know that Cilium accelerates networking, and provides security and observability in Kubernetes, using the power of eBPF. Now Cilium is bringing those eBPF strengths to the world of Service Mesh. Cilium Service Mesh features eBPF-powered connectivity, traffic management, security and observability. In this lab, you will learn how you can use Cilium to deploy Ingress resources to dynamically configure the Envoy proxy provided with the Cilium agent. And all of the above without any Envoy sidecar injection into your pods!

Cilium is an open source software for transparently securing the network connectivity between application services deployed using Linux container management platforms like Docker and Kubernetes. At the foundation of Cilium is a new Linux kernel technology called eBPF, which enables the dynamic insertion of powerful security visibility and control logic within Linux itself. Because eBPF runs inside the Linux kernel, Cilium security policies can be applied and updated without any changes to the application code or container configuration. In this interactive, hands-on lab we provide you a fully fledged Cilium installation on a small cluster and a few challenges to solve. See for yourself how Cilium works and how it can help you by securing a moon-sized battlestation in a “Star Wars”-inspired challenge.

In this scenario, we are going to show how Isovalent Enterprise for Cilium can provide visibility into TLS traffic. In security audits, a company or team has to verify their application protects data in transit and doesn’t leak information during communication, especially when data leaves a sensitive internal network. Mechanisms like TLS ensure that data is encrypted in transit, but verifying that a TLS configuration is secure becomes a challenge for most companies. In this lab, you will learn how Isovalent Enterprise for Cilium can: Identify the version of TLS being used, informing us if an obsolete and insecure version is being used Report on the cipher being used Export events in JSON format to SIEM

In this tutorial, you will learn how to use Azure CNI Powered by Cilium, while presenting you with the various AKS networking options.
