Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

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 :)

Creating Kubernetes Cluster With CRI-O
I have used Cilium as CNI and installing it with helm.

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

Open source alternatives to Grafana
Kibana is a good alternative if you can allow storing all your data in Elasticsearch, or you can use all-in-one monitoring tools like pixie https://github.com/pixie-io/pixie

Plenty of paid monitoring solutions out there. Instana is pretty slick. NewRelic has a new open source tool, https://github.com/pixie-io/pixie

Too many cook in the kitchen? I find everyone just wanna create their own Kubernetes plugin solution.
Cilium multi-cluster mesh is a bit different, compared to service meshes, and it's L4, so should be fine with eBPF / XDP based routing. From observability standpoint I'd go for pixie - it should work just fine with both linkerd and istio, instead of Hubble, and Cilium's Tetragon was missing policies about 3-4 months ago (needs doublec-hecking if they had introduced any).

Launch HN: Odigos (YC W23) โ Instant distributed tracing for Kubernetes clusters
Congratulations on the launch, and thank you for choosing an awesome license!
For an unrelated reason, today I was reminded about Pixie (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25375170 and https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31687978 and https://github.com/pixie-io/pixie#readme ), which says is also an ebpf kubernetes observability tool, also Apache licensed.
I suspect the difference may be your aspirations to move out of just kubernetes, but I wondered if that's the biggest difference between your project and theirs? Or maybe the C++ versus golang?
- Linux /proc/pid/stat parsing bugs
- Go based eBPF projects

Does mTLS add request latency due to ssl termination? Any best practices for performance?
eBPF solutions look cool though. I heard of https://px.dev/ which sounds similar to ciliums eBPF mesh recently.
