Loading...Introduction to Scalable Systems with eBPF and Cilium
When I first started working with eBPF and Cilium, I was amazed by the potential they offered for building scalable systems. However, I quickly realized that most docs skip the hard part - implementing network policy and observability in production environments. In this article, I'll share my experience with building scalable systems using eBPF and Cilium, including the challenges we faced and the solutions we implemented.
The Problem with Traditional Networking
Traditional networking approaches often rely on static configurations and manual interventions, which can become cumbersome and error-prone as the system scales. With eBPF and Cilium, we can define network policies programmatically and enforce them dynamically, which greatly simplifies the process of managing network traffic.
Implementing Network Policy with eBPF and Cilium
To implement network policy with eBPF and Cilium, we need to define a set of rules that specify how traffic should be handled.
