      • The cost: kernel 5.10+, more complexity than Calico, and you need to understand eBPF maps to debug. Worth it at 10k+ services. Probably overkill at 500.

      • Cilium 把 eBPF 直接插进 Linux 内核做容器网络：在 socket 层改写连接替代 kube-proxy，支持 VXLAN、原生路由和 BGP 自动宣告，用身份而非 IP 做 L3-L7 策略，能过滤域名和 HTTP 方法路径，还能跨集群互联，配合 Hubble 实时看清每条流。
