Cillium has been bought out by Cisco, so its monetization is only a matter of time. Also, not everyone needs to implement a service mesh.

- FridgeSeal 3y agoNeither Cilium nor Hubble are service meshes. Cilium is a CNI - the functionality that provides the K8s cluster inter-pod networking. The fact that it uses eBPF to deliver its functionality is what gives it the impressive observability you usually only get from a service mesh. I agree that not everyone needs a service mesh.
