Cilium

Palette Network Pack(s) helps provision resources for setting up Cluster networking in Kubernetes. For more Kubernetes network model design goals visit here.

Palette supports Cilium, an open-source software for securing and observing network connectivity between cloud-native container workloads. Cilium is underpinned by a Linux Kernel technology called eBPF, to enable dynamic and strong security visibility and control logic within Linux. As eBPF runs within the Linux Kernel, Cilium security policies are applied and updated independent of the application code or container configuration.

The Cilium agent runs on all clusters and servers to provide networking, security and observability to the workload running on that node.

Prerequisite​

  • If the user is going for the BYO (Bring your own) Operating system use case then, HWE (Hardware Enabled) Kernel or a Kernel that supports eBPF modules needs to be provisioned.

Palette OS images are by default provisioned with the above pre-requisite.

Versions Supported​
