Even though Cisco acquires them, I believe this is not going to be a "RIP" story — Cilium is a graduated CNCF project, adopted by all major cloud providers, used by many fortune 100 companies, and have a rich/diverse contributors community. Plus the team at Isovalent is super strong, and eBPF powerhouse, they are going to continue working on Cilium, Tetragon, and other eBPF projects. And they've build a strong and vibrant OSS community. Cisco did a really smart and strategic move to lead a modernization of networking and security.
