A new partnership

Isovalent

Isovalent, a company founded by the developers of Cilium and eBPF, develops open source software and enterprise solutions that meet networking, security and observability requirements of modern native cloud infrastructures.

What is Cilium?

Cilium offers a cloud-native software solution for provisioning, securing and monitoring the network traffic of containerized workloads with its revolutionary eBPF technology, which has already established itself as the de-facto standard Kubernetes CNI plugin and is used by companies such as Google, AWS or even the Swiss PostFinance.

Furthermore, Cilium is a CNCF Incubating project and we can't wait to welcome it among the Graduated projects soon!

What is eBPF?

eBPF is a Linux kernel technology that allows for injection and execution of kernel-level logic in a sandbox in a secure and efficient way. If you want to learn more about Cilium and eBPF, feel free to read more in our first-class TechUps!

b-nova & Isovalent

We have gone through various technical workshops and trainings and are looking forward to passing this knowledge on to our customers as proud Isovalent partners and knowledge carriers. As Cilium experts, we at b-nova operate at the cutting edge of technology and are here to help you take your project to the next level!

Our TechUps about Cilium

The Kubernetes Gateway API is intended to standardize and simplify the configuration and use of different API gateways within a Kubernetes environment. Let's take a closer look at this using the Cilium API gateway as an example.

Tetragon is an eBPF-based security observability and runtime enforcement platform that can detect and prevent malicious activity in real time. Tetragon is also Kubernetes-aware. Today, we'll look at a practical example of how Tetragon works.

Cilium provides networking, security and observability of Kubernetes environments without sidecar containers. This is made possible by eBPF, a new feature of the Linux kernel that allows user space to run in a kernel-based sandbox. In today's TechUp we examine Cilium and eBPF to better understand this new technology.
