Enhancing Network Security and Observability with Cilium and eBPF

This project demonstrates how to enhance network security and observability in modern 5G and NFV (Network Function Virtualization) environments. Using Cilium and eBPF, the solution enables dynamic network policy enforcement, real-time traffic monitoring, and advanced visualization through tools like Hubble and Grafana.

Key Features

• Dynamic Network Policies: Seamlessly enforce fine-grained policies to secure network communication and isolate workloads in Kubernetes.
• Real-Time Traffic Monitoring: Observe network flows with high performance using eBPF-based Hubble, reducing overhead while gaining deep insights.
• Advanced Visualization: Leverage Grafana for comprehensive dashboards and metrics to monitor system performance and security posture.
• Optimized for 5G and NFV: Designed to meet the high demands of 5G environments, including low-latency and high-throughput scenarios.

Technology Stack

• Cilium: eBPF-powered networking for Kubernetes.
• eBPF: Efficient in-kernel observability and networking enhancements.
• Hubble: Network observability platform.
• Grafana: Data visualization and dashboard creation.
• Kubernetes: Container orchestration platform.
