Click for: original source

Cilium has rapidly become the standard in Kubernetes networking thanks due to its advanced security, performance, and exceptional scalability. With the increase in the adoption of Cilium, more and more customers have requested to bring Cilium to the world of virtual machines and servers. By Thomas Graf.

Cilium Mesh connects Kubernetes workloads, virtual machines, and physical servers running in the cloud, on-premises, or at the edge. It is a natural evolution of Cilium. It builds on the strong Kubernetes networking foundation with identity-based security and deep observability and combines it with the highly scalable multi-cluster control plane Cilium Cluster Mesh.
