Optimizing Kubernetes Traffic with Cilium Best Practices

Mastering traffic engineering in cloud-native environments is crucial for optimizing network performance, security, and cost. This paper explores using Cilium, the CNCF-graduated networking plugin, for advanced traffic engineering in Kubernetes.

It covers techniques like managing traffic flows, using Ingress Services, Egress Gateways, and BGP for dynamic prefix advertisement. Patterns show how to expose applications, control connections, distribute traffic, and avoid asymmetry.

Learn best practices with Cilium, manage unmanaged pods, VXLAN overhead, and BGP configurations. The paper concludes with a blueprint for a robust Kubernetes networking architecture. Discover how Cilium enhances traffic.
