Container networking engine Cilium graduates from CNCF incubation>
Silicon Angle – Maria Deutscher
Cilium, an open-source technology used to manage software containers’ network traffic, today graduated from the CNCF’s incubation program.

The CNCF, or Cloud Native Computing Foundation, is a Linux Foundation affiliate that manages dozens of open-source projects.
Its portfolio includes foundational technologies such as Kubernetes and the Prometheus observability platform.
The CNCF incubation program from which Cilium graduated today is designed to foster promising open-source projects with applications in the enterprise.

Cilium’s graduation comes about two years after it was donated to the CNCF by Isovalent Inc., a venture-backed networking startup.
It’s a software engine designed to ease the task of managing the data traffic that flows between a company’s containers.
Cilium also provides cybersecurity and observability features.

Though it only graduated today, Cilium already has an installed base of about 50 organizations.
Those early adopters include S&P Global Inc., Bloomberg LP and other large enterprises.
Cilium’s maintainer ecosystem includes more than 800 individual developers along with seven companies.
