We’re excited to share the Cilium project journey report!
Cilium is an open source platform designed for cloud-native networking, security, and observability, leveraging eBPF technology. It provides secure, high-performance network connectivity and deep visibility for Kubernetes and other cloud environments. Cilium allows for complex and detailed network policies, load balancing, service mesh integration, and comprehensive network observability. It is widely used in production environments by companies like Adobe, Capital OneCapitolOne, and Google, offering robust support for large-scale deployments.
Since joining as an Incubating project in October 2021, Cilium has grown tremendously, graduating in under a year in 2023.
Some of the highlights of the report include:
- The number of contributing companies has increased by 90% since Cilium joined CNCF, from 533 to 1,011. This growth corresponds to a rise in individual contributors from 1,269 when it joined to 4,464 today, representing a 252% increase.
- All time contributions to Cilium total over 506,400, an increase of 124% from 225,900 when it joined CNCF.
- To date, more than 350 contributors from many backgrounds and motivations have added to and polished Cilium’s documentation.
- The eBPF & Cilium Community YouTube channel offers 364 videos and CNCF’s YouTube channel offers a treasure trove of past Cilium content.
