GitHub user hpvd edited a discussion: Example for Pulsar secured by Cilium

For Kafka it's easy to level up security by using Cilium.
Cilium is a networking, observability, and security solution with an eBPF-based 
dataplane.

How it works to secure Kafka with Cilium:
Traditional firewalls operate at Layer 3 and 4. A protocol running on a 
particular port is either completely trusted or blocked entirely. Cilium 
provides the ability to filter on individual application protocol requests:
e.g. for Kafka:
**Allow service1 to produce on Kafka topic topic1 and service2 to consume on 
topic1. Reject all other Kafka messages.**

Details in Doc:

=> Are there already any ideas/efforts/POCs know to bring these possibilities 
to the combination of  Pulsar and Cilium?

Cilium seems to become the standard replacement for kube proxy plus IP tables 
these days,
so missing Pulsar support should not be the gatekeeper for enterprises...
