In the first blog, we discussed how organizations can use Hubble for Cilium for observability. In this blog, we will look at how the Rafay Platform provides a tight, turnkey integration with Cilium making life easy for platform teams. In the next blog, my colleague will describe and showcase how an administrator can configure and enable Hubble on a Rafay MKS based Kubernetes cluster with the Cilium CNI.
Kubernetes has become the de facto standard for orchestrating containerized applications, but efficient networking remains one of the biggest challenges. For Kubernetes networking, Container Network Interface (CNI) plugins handle the essential task of managing the network configuration between pods, nodes, and external systems. Among these CNI plugins, Kube-OVN stands out as a feature-rich and enterprise-ready solution, designed for cloud-native applications requiring robust networking features.
In this blog, we will discuss how it is different from popular CNI plugins such as Calico and Cilium and use cases where it is particularly useful.
