Cisco to Acquire Cloud Native Networking and Security Leader Isovalent
They would have had to add a few externals to get to Graduated but it's definitely a minority:

Route Pod-Traffic Through WireGuard w/ Cilium
Hello there, I recently have the need to proxy my pod traffic through WireGuard. I initially have my eyes on https://github.com/angelnu/pod-gateway but I just couldn't get it working. It turns out that Cilium made a CVE patch couple years ago that basically nuked ability to do inter-pod encapsulated traffic (https://github.com/cilium/cilium/issues/15991). I wonder if there is any other way that can let me do this without switching out of Cilium? Thank you guys in advance :)

Need advice on K3s cluster setup
I'm using the default RaspiOS Lite 64bits and as highlighted in this issue, the RaspiOS kernel does not support CONFIG_ARM64_VA_BITS_48, which makes cilium-envoy to fail building. As solution, I was told to use either Ubuntu as base OS or Traefik Ingress Controller, which is not configured in K3s.
- MetalLB or Cilium?

Ask r/kubernetes: What are you working on this week?
Working on integrating cilium and loxilb as a hobby k8s project. Both are eBPF based and will be interesting to see what will be the final outcome.

Saying Goodbye to Ingress: Embracing the Future of Kubernetes Traffic Management with Gateway API and Cilium
Particularly in Cilium, Gateway API is very proof-of-concept. So much so that you can't even change the type of the underlying service (or anything else about the generated object) yet.

Isn't Istio Ambient mesh a fantastic step to simplify operating istio? Here's a video explaining the architecture!
Authentication using mTLS was later merged into cilium (https://github.com/cilium/cilium/pull/24263). It uses mTLS between cilium agents to authorize flows, but do note that the mTLS auth is de-coupled from the datapath transport (i.e. you need to configure cilium to use ipsec or wireguard, as otherwise traffic won't be encrypted). As a consequence, there are some gaps in the implementation right now, like packet drops. see https://github.com/cilium/cilium/issues/23808

Master Node not accessible after a few minutes after reboot
Looking at those logs it is trying to connect to a local socket file for the antrea cni and failing. I don't have any experience with that one but that would probably be a good idea to check the documentation (https://antrea.io/docs/v1.6.0/docs/getting-started/) and this thread (https://github.com/antrea-io/antrea/issues/832) might help...
