A Decade of Cilium Around the World
summary
Cilium hits a decade with ~1,100 contributors and ~25k GitHub stars and claims >60% CNI adoption; feature work includes gateway API TCP/UDP, egress IPv6, Google-contributed eBPF plugins and sidecarless zTunnel mTLS. Cybozu migrates VMs to Kubernetes on bare metal with 1,000+ nodes, abandons MetalLB+kube-proxy after packet steering and source IP loss, and adopts Cilium as a kube-proxy replacement to gain maglev consistent hashing and DSR, preserving source IP, improving resiliency, and landing network policy and observability.
