Infrastructure Briefing — CNCF graduates Cilium to mature project
The Cloud Native Computing Foundation graduated Cilium on 11 July 2023, signaling production readiness for the eBPF-based networking and security project used in Kubernetes clusters.
The Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) announced on 11 July 2023 that Cilium graduated from incubation, recognizing its widespread production adoption for Kubernetes networking, observability, and security. Cilium’s eBPF data plane underpins features like native load balancing, network policy enforcement, and Hubble flow visibility.
Platform and network teams can reference the graduation milestone to justify production support, standardize on Cilium for container networking, and align roadmaps with its long-term governance and release cadence.
