Cilium ClusterMesh - Strengthening Security Across Distributed Kubernetes Clusters

Explore how Sicredi, Brazil's largest credit union financial institution, implemented Cilium ClusterMesh to strengthen security across distributed Kubernetes clusters in this 36-minute conference talk. Discover the evaluation process that led to selecting Cilium ClusterMesh as a uniform framework for creating consistent security policies across 47 different K8s clusters deployed on private and public clouds. Learn about the comparison of various service mesh features and how Cilium's use of eBPF, avoidance of sidecars, and fine-grained network policies enabled Sicredi to implement comprehensive security measures while reducing operational complexity and maintaining optimal performance. Gain insights into the practical application of Cilium as a CNI in Kubernetes clusters and its role in securing a complex environment with over 2,000 applications.
