Unlocking potential with eBPF & Cilium integration
summary
Azure announces GA of Azure CNI powered by Cilium (2023) and continues 2024 work to integrate Isovalent Enterprise, delivering eBPF-based security, load‑balancing and observability while claiming native VNet performance and elastic scale. Integration uses delegated IPAM with VNet addressing or overlay mode, supports Azure Linux and Azure Arc, and provides signed Isovalent images, a billing operator, Terraform/Bicep deployment paths, and Hubble observability with exports to Sentinel/Defender Cloud for runtime visibility.
