Overview
Cilium is an eBPF-based open-source cloud-native networking solution that provides high-performance networking, advanced network security policies, and observability for Kubernetes clusters. This series of tutorials covers how to install and use Cilium in TKE clusters.
Installing Cilium
This article describes how to install cilium in a TKE cluster, with support for the following network modes:

Using Gateway API
Cilium Gateway API is Cilium's built-in Gateway API implementation. No additional Ingress Controller deployment is needed—Cilium's eBPF data plane and built-in Envoy proxy handle traffic routing directly.
Enhanced Observability with Cilium
Applicable modes: all three deployment modes (Native Routing (VPC-CNI), Overlay (VPC-CNI), Overlay (GR)) are supported, with no mode-specific limitations.
Network Flow Log Audit with Cilium + CLS
Applicable modes: all three deployment modes (Native Routing (VPC-CNI), Overlay (VPC-CNI), Overlay (GR)) are supported, with no mode-specific limitations.
