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...
