Cilium Creator Isovalent Invites KubeCon EU Attendees to Discover the Power of Cloud Native's Most Popular Connectivity Platform in Paris Next Week
After over 2,700 commits by an ever-growing community of nearly 700 contributors--including Elastic, Booking.com, Google and more--the newly released Cilium 1.15 will be a major emphasis at KubeCon EU. Cilium 1.15 represents a significant milestone, marking its evolution beyond a conventional Kubernetes CNI to a comprehensive networking platform. With built-in Gateway API 1.0 for Ingress routing and security advancements in BGP and granular network observability, Cilium has now established itself as the foundational Kubernetes networking platform.
- 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.
- Cilium is the de facto container networking interface (CNI) with the greatest footprint of all CNIs across the major cloud service providers' Kubernetes offerings.
- "The Cilium community feels like this is just the beginning," said Thomas Graf, Cilium creator and co-founder and CTO of Isovalent, whose acquisition by Cisco was announced in Q4 '23.
- From eBPF internals in cloud native projects to how Cilium and eBPF are helping businesses achieve their goals, you'll hear it all at Cilium + eBPF Day.
