Container workloads and their orchestrations brings new challenges for networking and observability.
With micro-services architectures increasing the amount of east-west traffic, transient IPs making it harder to correlate network information with workload identity, and application logic split into a multitude of components, traditional SDN approaches are reaching their limit.
Leveraging the eBPF kernel technology, Ciliium is a CNCF project which implements a performant and highly scalable CNI plugin and the while providing metadata-rich observability of the network traffic.
This workshop will guide you in installing Cilium on a Kubernetes cluster, seeing how it provides networking to the workloads, as well as observing traffic using Hubble.
