We revamped our networking stack to provide your AI workloads, full stack applications, APIs, and databases faster deployments, more bandwidth, and reduced latency!

Cilium is an innovative open-source project that redefines networking and security for containerized applications. By leveraging the power of eBPF (extended Berkeley Packet Filter), Cilium provides efficient networking and transparent security capabilities for modern cloud-native environments. Readers exploring Cilium can gain insights into advanced networking concepts, such as service mesh architectures, network policy enforcement, and distributed application security.

A new networking stack has been unveiled that offers 70% faster deployments and a high-performance private network with up to 10 Gb/s bandwidth. The stack replaces the previous Kuma Mesh setup with a custom-built solution leveraging Envoy and Cilium, along with eBPF. Key features include automatic load-balancing, full encryption, and improved deployment reliability. The new stack is available in all regions and requires no user action to benefit from the upgrades.
