02 | CNI Cilium

Only install one CNI, do not install Flannel if using Cilium. Cilium brings network policy capabilities and uses eBPF technology to provide increased performance.

Reference: https://docs.cilium.io/en/stable/gettingstarted/k8s-install-default/

First we must install the cilium CLI binary, as root:

sudo su -
CILIUM_CLI_VERSION=$(curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/cilium/cilium-cli/main/stable.txt)
CLI_ARCH=amd64
if [ "$(uname -m)" = "aarch64" ]; then CLI_ARCH=arm64; fi
curl -L --fail --remote-name-all https://github.com/cilium/cilium-cli/releases/download/${CILIUM_CLI_VERSION}/cilium-linux-${CLI_ARCH}.tar.gz{,.sha256sum}
sha256sum --check cilium-linux-${CLI_ARCH}.tar.gz.sha256sum
sudo tar xzvfC cilium-linux-${CLI_ARCH}.tar.gz /usr/local/bin
rm cilium-linux-${CLI_ARCH}.tar.gz{,.sha256sum}

Then we can use it to install cilium into Kubernetes:

cilium install --version 1.14.5

Validate the install:

cilium status --wait

The following test can be performed, but it won't work until worker nodes are joined.
