coroot VS cilium

I'm Peter Zaitsev, co-founder at Coroot. I come from the database world where observability, or monitoring, was crucial for keeping databases running smoothly. But as technology evolves, so do the challenges we face.

Today, many applications are built using microservices architecture, making it harder to pinpoint issues. Developers now have more ownership over the entire environment, but they lack the expertise to navigate intricate infrastructure details. And with the complexity of modern observability systems, crucial components often go unmonitored, leaving blind spots.

That's where Coroot comes in!

We're excited to announce the release of Coroot 1.0 – a simplified observability platform designed to provide actionable insights for modern environments. With Coroot you get:

- Comprehensive Visibility: Coroot covers your entire environment, ensuring no information gaps. Whether you're on Kubernetes, traditional VMs, or cloud services, Coroot has you covered.

- Simple Deployment: We've made deploying Coroot a breeze. Leveraging modern Linux features like eBPF and Netlink, setup requires zero configuration. Coroot also identifies and configures additional components for you.

- Actionable Insights: Coroot prioritizes the most important information, helping you resolve issues up to 80% faster than with legacy solutions.

And the best part? Coroot has open-source version. If you prefer a hosted solution, there is Coroot Cloud, which comes with a free trial and transparent affordable pricing.

While Coroot is already an awesome open-source observability platform, we're not stopping there. We have ambitious plans to automate issue resolution and minimize human intervention.

Take a look at https://github.com/coroot/coroot (Apache 2.0). It offers plenty of ready-to-use dashboards and inspections

I think ClickHouse is becoming a default storage for observability nowdays: https://clickhouse.com/use-cases/logging-and-metrics

And there are quite a few solutions on top of it.

A couple of examples that seem to be interesting (however I didn't use them in real life):

They would have had to add a few externals to get to Graduated but it's definitely a minority:

Next-gen networking thanks to 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 :)

I have used Cilium as CNI and installing it with helm.

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.

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.

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.

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
