CNI Benchmark: Understanding Cilium Network Performance
As more crucial workloads are being migrated to Kubernetes, network performance benchmarks are becoming an important selection criteria when deciding what network layer to leverage in a Kubernetes cluster. In this blog post, we'll explore the performance characteristics of Cilium based on extensive benchmarks that we have run in the past few weeks. Upon popular request, we are also including measurements for Calico to allow for a direct comparison.

Introducing the Cilium Certified OpenShift Plug-in
We are pleased to introduce the availability of Cilium in the Red Hat Ecosystem Catalog as well as the certification of Cilium as a Certified OpenShift CNI Plug-in. The Container Network Interface (CNI) badge is a specialization within Red Hat OpenShift certification available to networking products that integrate with OpenShift using a CNI plug-in. Users running OpenShift can feel confident that running Cilium will not negatively impact their Red Hat support experience.

From "War Games" to Network Policies
We’ve just launched a new community resource:networkpolicy.io, to help people learn how to apply Kubernetes network policies to protect their business-critical workloads. But why do we need network policies at all? Let’s consider why traditional network security approaches aren’t sufficient in the cloud native world, and see what advantages we can gain through network policies.

NetworkPolicy Editor: Create, Visualize, and Share Kubernetes NetworkPolicies
Implementing Network Policy is a critical part of building a secure Kubernetes-based platform, but the learning curve from simple examples to more complex real-world policies is steep. Not only can it be painful to get the YAML syntax and formatting just right, but more importantly, there are many subtleties in the behavior of the network policy specification (e.g. default allow/deny, namespacing, wildcarding, rules combination, etc.). Even an experienced Kubernetes YAML-wrangler can still easily tie their brain in knots working through an advanced network policy use case.
