Building a secure and maintainable PaaS

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.

Building a scalable Kubernetes platform
Case studies

Building a scalable Kubernetes platform

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.
