Description

Cluster-wide Cilium network policy for AKS clusters using Azure CNI powered by Cilium is now Generally Available.  

 

Managing consistent network policies across Kubernetes namespaces has long been a challenge for platform teams, especially in multi-tenant environments. With the general availability of cluster-wide Cilium network policy for AKS clusters using Azure CNI powered by Cilium, customers can now define and enforce network policies at the cluster level. This enhancement simplifies policy management and strengthens isolation between tenants by leveraging Cilium’s high-performance eBPF dataplane.
