Part 10: Envoy Gateway vs. Cilium eBPF Service Mesh Showdown

📖 Series Navigation: ← Previous Chapter: Part 9 — Cookie vs. SessionStorage vs. LocalStorage | Series Hub Part 10: Envoy Gateway vs. Cilium eBPF Service Mesh: Kernel Performance & Layer 7 Governance Showdown Answer-first: Envoy Gateway excels as a North-South Edge API Gateway with dedicated Envoy pods for advanced L7 policies (WAF, JWT, rate limiting, AI token quotas). Cilium eBPF dominates East-West cluster networking by bypassing the TCP/IP stack via sockops and cutting 92% RAM with node-level Envoy daemons. The 2026 standard combines both. ...

NIST AI 600-1 & OWASP ASI01–ASI10: AI Gateways in Kubernetes

Tech Radar: NIST AI 600-1 & OWASP ASI01–ASI10 — Hardening Enterprise Agent Gateways in Kubernetes Answer-first: Deploying autonomous AI agent swarms into enterprise Kubernetes clusters demands a paradigm shift from Least Privilege to Least Agency. By unifying NIST AI 600-1 (the 12 GenAI Risk Categories across GOVERN/MAP/MEASURE/MANAGE) with the OWASP ASI Top 10 (2026 Agentic Security Standards), production architectures enforce a 4-tier defense: L7 Kubernetes Gateway API with CEL expressions for tool parameter sanitization, SPIFFE/SPIRE for ephemeral Non-Human Identity (NHI) mTLS attestation, and Cilium Tetragon eBPF for real-time Linux kernel syscall termination (SIGKILL < 15µs). ...
