Kubernetes Network Policies: A Practitioner's Guide
Several network plugins were developed from various organizations, including but not limited to Calico, Cilium, and Kube-Router. A complete list can be found in Cluster Networking documentation. These network plugins provide Network Policy implementation and more, such as advanced monitoring, L7 filtering, integration to cloud networks, etc.

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
