Isovalent
eBPF-Powered Kubernetes Networking, Security, and Observability
About Isovalent
Isovalent Cilium Enterprise is a comprehensive platform that delivers cloud-native networking, security, and observability for Kubernetes environments. Built on the open-source Cilium project and powered by eBPF (Extended Berkeley Packet Filter), it provides deep visibility and control at the kernel level, enabling high-performance networking, advanced security policies, and rich observability without the need for sidecar proxies or complex service meshes. The platform offers features such as identity-based security, network policies, seamless integration with service meshes, and powerful troubleshooting tools that help organizations operate Kubernetes at scale. Trusted by top enterprises, it ensures secure and reliable cloud-native operations. AiDOOS enhances the deployment and adoption of Isovalent Cilium Enterprise by providing a streamlined, AI-driven operations ecosystem. With AiDOOS, organizations can accelerate their cloud-native journey, automate routine operational tasks, and ensure optimal configuration and performance, reducing the complexity and time required to fully leverage the platform's capabilities. Together, Isovalent and AiDOOS empower teams to build and maintain secure, observable, and scalable Kubernetes infrastructure with confidence.
Challenges It Solves
- Complexity in managing Kubernetes networking and security at scale.
- Lack of granular visibility into network traffic and security events.
- Traditional security approaches are less effective in dynamic cloud-native environments.
- Ensuring high performance while enforcing robust network policies.
