Cilium 1.2: DNS Security Policies, EKS Support, ClusterMesh, kube-router integration, ...
We are excited to announce the Cilium 1.2 release. The release introduces several new features addressing the top asks from Cilium users and community members. One of the most exciting features is the introduction of security policies based on DNS names to secure access to external services outside of the cluster. Another top ask was to introduce the ability to connect and secure multiple Kubernetes clusters. We are introducing ClusterMesh as an alpha level feature to address this ask. It allows to connect and secure pods running in different Kubernetes clusters. Equally important is the Kube-router integration with Cilium. The effort led by the team from DigitalOcean enables to combine BGP networking provided by kube-router with BPF based security and load-balancing from Cilium. As usual, a big shout out to the entire community of Cilium developers. The total number of contributors has grown to 85 and 579 commits have been contributed in the time period between 1.1 and 1.2.

Prometheus Metrics for Kubernetes Networking Using Cilium
In Kubernetes deployments, Prometheus is a popular monitoring system and time-series database for storing health and performance metrics of all the components. Equally popular is Grafana for plotting the metrics. In this post, we will provide steps to setup Prometheus and Grafana for understanding important Cilium metrics related to the security and health of service interactions in a Kubernetes cluster.

Cilium 1.0: Bringing the BPF Revolution to Kubernetes Networking and Security
The last couple of months have been tremendously exciting for everyone working on Cilium and BPF. We have witnessed a fast growing community of Cilium users as well as the rapid increase of BPF usage and development with companies such as Google joining the existing already strong BPF community of engineers from Facebook, Netflix, Red Hat and many more.

Cilium 1.0.0-rc9 - Feature Freeze for 1.0!
We are excited to announce Cilium 1.0.0-rc9 with many, many bugfixes and the delivery of the final feature we were waiting on prior for 1.0: Egress policy enforcement support. It is therefore only logical that we announce full feature freeze with rc9. This means that we will only merge critical bugfixes and release 1.0 as soon as we have resolved all release blockers. More on this below. We are thrilled to have come this far and appreciate all of the efforts by the wide range of contributors that have helped to get us here. As usual, the full release notes are attached at the end of the blog but can be found on the 1.0.0-rc9 release page. The vast majority of the work in this release has been around bugfixes and testing. Here is a list of some highlights:
