O’Reilly’s Cilium: Up and Running Out Now

# O’Reilly’s Cilium: Up and Running Out Now ## What started the discussion Nicolas Vibert, Filip Nikolic, and James Laverack spent the last year pouring over Cilium's kernel magic to it accessible to everyone. Not only is it the most beautiful O'Reilly cover you will probably ever see, you might also finally understand how BGP, IPAM, DNS, and the rest of the networking alphabet soup really works under the hood. You can get the digital copy now or they will also be signing copies at KubeCon next month! I work for Isovalent so yes this is promoting my colleagues work, but the book is free to download ## What stood out in the comments ### Discussion point 1 Cilium quietly becoming the default CNI for most managed K8s offerings was probably the biggest under-the-radar shift in the ecosystem recently. Good to see it getting a proper O'Reilly treatment. ### Discussion point 2 uBlock Origin is blocking requests to the form endpoint: ``` host forms.hsforms.com filename /submissions/v3/public/submit/formsnext/multipart/x/y ``` And if you unblock that, Firefox's "Enhanced Tracking" also blocks it. Outside of Firefox, my AdGuard Home blocked it as it's on "My BadBlock". Once I toggled all of those, I was able to submit to the form. ### Discussion point 3 I’m about three-quarters of the way through the EA release, and it’s meaty, and it’s interactive, and it’s delightful! Really great work! ### Discussion point 4 The issue you linked just had a PR opened two days ago ### Discussion point 5 Weird still seems to work for me https://isovalent.com/blog/post/cilium-up-and-running/ ## Thread snapshot - Original subreddit: r/kubernetes - Original author: u/xmull1gan - Reddit score: 101 - Comment count: 16 - Original thread: https://isovalent.com/blog/post/cilium-up-and-running/
