Isovalent

aid: isovalent
name: Isovalent
description: Isovalent is the company founded in 2017 by the creators of Cilium, the eBPF-based networking, security, and
  observability platform for Kubernetes and cloud-native infrastructure. Isovalent builds and maintains the open source Cilium
  project (a CNCF graduated project), the Hubble observability layer, and the Tetragon runtime security engine, and offers
  commercial Isovalent Enterprise for Cilium and Isovalent Enterprise for Tetragon distributions with hardened builds, support,
  and advanced features. Cilium replaces kube-proxy and traditional CNI plugins with identity-aware, eBPF-powered dataplane
  networking, network policy, service mesh, multi-cluster mesh, and deep flow-level observability. The developer surface spans
  the JSON REST API served by the cilium-agent, the cilium-health connectivity API, the gRPC Hubble Observer/Relay flow APIs,
  first-party Go client packages, and the cilium and hubble command-line tools. Isovalent was acquired by Cisco in 2024 and
  its technology now underpins Cisco's cloud-native security portfolio.
