Great solution if want full-control over Docker Container

I like that cilium allows you to control all traffic going through the network interface of your container. This makes it very flexible to use and helps us solve our problem quickly. The documentation needs some improvement since I found out things by myself, and there are not so much tutorials or examples to help get started quickly.

Also sometimes the error messages are too technical. It's a good tool for controlling networking in containers and is easy to configure. We solved some problems related to firewall rules allowing only certain IPs to access our docker container.

Pros

With this feature we have achieved better security compared before using just hosts' IP addresses as restrictions without knowing what they actually do once connected into those ports within another host instance(s) epecially if having multiple internal subnets / VLAN interfaces etc..

Cons
