Cilium is a CNI -compliant networking plugin used to provide multi-host network connectivity for Linux containers and a way to define granular network-layer and application-layer security policies.


Cilium brings API-aware network security filtering to Linux container frameworks like Docker and Kubernetes. Using a new Linux kernel technology called BPF, Cilium provides a simple and efficient way to define and enforce both network-layer and application-layer security policies based on container/pod identity.
