Cilium, the default primus of eBPF implementation for Container Network Interface (CNI) in Kubernetes, is the default CNI for AWS EKS Anywhere. Last year, Max showed you how to solve cross-cluster communication with the service mesh Linkerd. However, Cilium is now also able to take this challenge over and Max will show you how to utilize Cilium for the task. Without any Gateway components needed, Cilium heavily simplifies the communication layer and steers, in addition, the network communication through standard network policies. In this talk, you will learn how to set up and configure your AWS EKS Anywhere and make it feel like it is part of one system.
