월요일, 11월 6, 2023

The highlight of this new enterprise release is undoubtedly native support for Multi-Network: the ability to connect a Kubernetes Pod to multiple network interfaces. With full compatibility with Cilium Network Policies and Hubble--so you don't have to compromise on security or observability to make use of this feature--Cilium Multi-Network enables advanced Kubernetes networking use cases like:

Key Points: 
  • Cilium is an eBPF-based project that was originally created by Isovalent, open-sourced in 2015, and has become the center of gravity for cloud native networking and security.
  • Isovalent Enterprise for Cilium is the hardened, enterprise-grade, and 24×7-supported version of the eBPF-based cloud networking platform Cilium.
  • Tetragon is an eBPF-based security observability and runtime enforcement platform designed to give security and operations teams richer telemetry data for runtime security, while eliminating the performance overhead of proprietary security vendors' agents.
  • With its Isovalent Enterprise for Cilium 1.14 release, Isovalent extends the open source project with enterprise features that further security teams visibility into L7 networking events (HTTP, DNS, TLS/SSL handshake analysis), granular control over Tetragon security policies and workflows, improved in-kernel smart collection for lower CPU & memory overhead, and more.

Isovalent, Creators of eBPF and Cilium, Launch Tetragon: High-Performance Kernel-based Kubernetes Security

수요일, 11월 1, 2023

CUPERTINO, Calif., Nov. 1, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- The creators of the rapidly growing open source technologies Cilium and eBPF, today announce the general availability of Isovalent Enterprise for Tetragon, extending the existing open source Cilium Tetragon project that provides kernel-level programmability for runtime Kubernetes security use cases. Cilium Tetragon, the open source project within the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) and sub-project of Cilium, has reached a significant milestone with the OSS 1.0 release. Just like Cilium gave platform teams a standard interface and greatly evolved performance in Kubernetes networking, Tetragon harnesses the power of eBPF to define how security and operations teams instrument Kubernetes runtime security--with lower overhead, higher performance, and a richer stream of data closer to the kernel and beyond the limited telemetry purview of security scanners.

Key Points: 
  • Kubernetes provides limited default security and observability controls, and ships without a dedicated runtime security model.
  • Tetragon is an eBPF-based security observability and runtime enforcement platform designed to give security and operations teams richer telemetry data for runtime security, while eliminating the performance overhead of proprietary security vendors' agents.
  • Tetragon is built around eBPF and in-kernel filtering and aggregation logic, providing deep visibility without traditional agents or application changes.
  • Security policies can be injected via Kubernetes (CRDs), a JSON API, or systems such as Open Policy Agent (OPA).

"Kubernetes has taken the industry by storm, and Cilium has become the default networking component for Kubernetes adopted by enterprises such as S&P Global, Adobe, and Sky. With Cilium Mesh, we are bringing the cloud native principles of Kubernetes to multi- and hybrid-cloud networking." said Thomas Graf, creator of Cilium and co-founder and CTO at Isovalent. "Platform teams are leveraging the deep programmability of the Linux kernel--made possible by eBPF and Cilium--and want to apply their security and observability instrumentation to not only their new Kubernetes environments, but across all of their environments. Cilium Mesh provides the first abstraction of this class that allows them to bring all of these assets under a single connectivity plane." 

Key Points: 
  • Cilium Mesh is a new universal networking layer to connect workloads and machines across clouds and premises.
  • It consists of the Kubernetes networking component (Cilium CNI), the multi-cluster connectivity plane (Cilium Cluster Mesh), and a new transit gateway to connect to existing networks.
  • Cilium Mesh extends the existing Cilium networking outside of Kubernetes to connect cloud-native Kubernetes environments with existing cloud VPCs, on-prem datacenter networks, and private cloud environments.
