If you have any second thoughts, I would run the open-source version in your test environment and run it against your current systems to observe the efficiencies you gain. I would rate this product a nine overall.

The open-source community is active and robust. If you have a good product needing high performance and visibility into your network at the cluster level, I suggest giving Cilium a chance. You will understand the great observability of Hubble and the performance benefits of eBPF, especially when you compare it to IP tables and see how it reduces the complexities of IP table rules. I would rate this review a nine overall.
I do not know what advice to give to others looking into using Isovalent, as I am not sure right now. I do not think there is anything you should change for the future. My overall review rating for Isovalent is nine out of ten.

I would advise others looking into using Isovalent to start with a POC to see what they offer. If they want to integrate it into their network, they should ensure they have end-to-end visibility for the problem they want to solve, and then they can use it to address their issue. It is a good product overall, and if anyone is looking for some cloud-native integration for Kubernetes clusters from the CNI perspective, I think it is a good solution.

There is a big opportunity to explore Isovalent, and I have really had a very great experience with it. Our company is not able to use Isovalent because they are using SharePoint Power Private Limited. I don't think they will use it. I find Isovalent easy to use, so I would rate it eight or nine. Isovalent is totally free. I would definitely give the advice to use Isovalent because it is easy to use and easy to set up all the networking environments and the other things. I do not have any additional thoughts about Isovalent at this time.
