Decision

What the current evidence supports

Human editorial judgment · 2026-08-20

Adopt with guardrails

Why
CNCF-graduated, well over 100 production orgs and major enterprises; the main cautions (datapath overhead, K8s-only scope, short default retention) are well-understood and manageable with tuning.
Next
Enable Cilium as CNI with kube-proxy replacement and turn on Hubble with flow export to an existing sink; tune monitorAggregation + event-buffer size, scope L7 visibility to critical namespaces, and budget agent/relay memory.
