Cilium

cilium (Object) — Required​

Description​

The cilium field represents the main configuration of the network add-on. It contains the parameters required for installing and customizing Cilium within the cluster.

Example​

cilium:
  valuesOverride:
    cilium:
      hubble:
        enabled: true

valuesOverride (Object) — Required​

Description​

The valuesOverride field allows overriding the default values used when deploying Cilium. It adjusts the behavior of the CNI without modifying the main chart. These values may include configuration for Hubble, encryption, network policies, or allocated resources. For more configuration options: https://docs.cilium.io/en/stable/helm-reference/

Example​

valuesOverride:
  cilium:
    hubble:
      enabled: true
    encryption:
      enabled: true

💡 Best Practices​

  • Always define valuesOverride to maintain full control over network configuration.
  • Enable Hubble (hubble.enabled: true) to gain network visibility and traffic flow tracking.
  • Use encryption.enabled: true to encrypt inter-Pod traffic in sensitive environments.
  • Verify version compatibility between Cilium and the Kubernetes cluster version.
