Building Secure Microservices with Cilium’s Service Mesh

As microservices architectures grow, securing them while maintaining performance and observability becomes increasingly complex. In this session, we’ll explore Cilium, an eBPF-powered service mesh that provides high-performance security and observability without the need for sidecars. We will discuss how Cilium enables end-to-end security by utilizing identity-based networking for secure communication between services. We will also cover CiliumNetworkPolicies, and the benefits of mTLS for secure service-to-service communication. You’ll gain insights into how Cilium simplifies microservices security, enhances performance, and provides full observability, all while avoiding the overhead of traditional service mesh solutions.
