Cilium Weekly Episode 32 - BGP Route Observability

Episode 32 of Cilium Weekly: BGP Routes Status 🔎
Coming soon in Cilium 1.15, this feature provides insight into the BGP routes that are being advertised and learned by Cilium.
We use BGP on Cilium to connect Kubernetes clusters to the rest of the network. Cilium can advertise Pod CIDRs (the IP ranges from which pods get their IP addresses from) and/or Service IPs over BGP.
Prior to this new feature, you had to log on to the device Cilium was peering with to work out which routes were being sent by Cilium - that was less than ideal.
Now, you can run "cilium bgp routes" and show which routes are received and sent to BGP neighbours.
Simple change but a welcome one!
Next week, in episode 33, I will look at a new feature: HTTP Traffic Mirroring with Cilium.
