Don't let this gap widen

Why this program matters

  • Without Cilium mastery, 70% of Kubernetes breaches stem from unsecured network gaps, costing an average of 4,5 millions d'euros per incident according to IBM.

  • Teams spend 35% more time debugging connectivity, delaying deployments and raising operating costs by 25%.

  • In 2024, 82% of cloud-native companies require eBPF for compliance, sidelining untrained candidates.

  • Every quarter without these skills leaves your infrastructure exposed to critical risks, widening the competitive gap against agile, secure rivals.

Cilium training objectives

  • Master the fundamentals of Cilium for professional Kubernetes clusters
  • Install and configure Cilium with eBPF in enterprise environments
  • Implement secure Network Policies via Cilium
  • Develop network observability skills with Hubble
  • Optimize network performance for certified applications
  • Deploy Cilium in production for enhanced security

Cilium curriculum: 2 modules over 2 days

Module 1 : Cilium Fundamentals: eBPF Installation and Configuration (Kubernetes, Helm, Cluster Verification)

Discovery of key Cilium and eBPF concepts for native Kubernetes connectivity, quick installation via Helm on a Minikube or Kind cluster, initial configuration of Cilium agents with verification of operating modes, first pod-to-pod connectivity tests, practical exercises on a real enterprise case with diagnosis of common errors and generation of deployment reports to validate the professional environment.

Module 2 : Cilium Security and Observability: Network Policies and Hubble (L7 Monitoring, Production Cases)

Implementation of secure network policies with Cilium Network Policies to block unauthorized flows, exploration of advanced observability via Hubble UI and CLI to trace L3/L7 flows in real-time, practical workshops on simulated attack scenarios in Kubernetes cluster, eBPF performance optimization with profiling, production of custom dashboards and action plans to integrate Cilium in production, thereby strengthening enterprise security certification skills.

How Cilium skills are assessed

  • Quiz to validate acquired knowledge at the end of the training
  • Continuous evaluation through practical Cilium exercises
  • Presentation of the continuous project for secure Kubernetes

How the Cilium course is taught

  • Training led by an active Cilium expert trainer
  • Practical exercises on real Kubernetes clusters
  • Progressive continuous project with Cilium deployment
  • Complete course materials provided to each participant

Cilium training: access and practical arrangements

The Training Cilium - Securing Kubernetes Networks with eBPF program is delivered onsite or remote (blended-learning, virtual classroom, remote presence). At Learni, an industry-certified training organization, every program is built to maximize skills acquisition regardless of the chosen format.

The trainer alternates between demonstrative, interrogative and active methods (through hands-on labs and/or scenarios). This pedagogical approach guarantees concrete learning that's immediately applicable at work.

Equipment required

For the smooth delivery of the Training Cilium - Securing Kubernetes Networks with eBPF program, the following equipment is required:

  • Mac or PC computers, high-speed fiber internet, whiteboard or flipchart, projector or interactive touch screen (for remote sessions)
  • Training environments installed on workstations or accessible online
  • Course materials, hands-on exercises and complementary resources
  • Post-training access to materials and educational resources

For intra-company training on a site outside Learni, the client commits to providing all required teaching materials (computers, internet, etc.) for the smooth delivery of the program in line with the prerequisites in the communicated program.

Skills assessment methods

Assessment of skills acquired during the Training Cilium - Securing Kubernetes Networks with eBPF program is performed through:

  • During training: case studies, hands-on labs and professional scenarios
  • End of training: self-assessment questionnaire and skills evaluation by the trainer
  • After training: completion certificate detailing acquired skills

Program accessibility

Learni is committed to making its programs accessible. All our programs are accessible to people with disabilities. Our teams are available to adapt the pedagogical methods to your specific needs. Please contact us for any adjustment request.

Enrollment terms and lead times

Registration is possible up to 48 business hours before the start of training. All our programs are built for corporate L&D budgets and delivered onsite or remotely.

The Learni story

Founded by engineers and learning experts, Learni's mission is to make high-impact tech training accessible to teams everywhere. We work remotely with organizations across the US and Canada, in your time zone, to help teams upskill fast.

Our method

How Learni guarantees the quality of your Cilium training

Before, during, after: we frame the brief, introduce the trainer, tailor the content and measure impact. You stay in control from kickoff to wrap-up.

Step 1

Rigorous trainer selection

Each trainer is validated on three criteria: hands-on field expertise, proven pedagogy and alignment with your industry.

  • Triple validation: technical, pedagogical, sectoral.
  • Minimum rating 4.8/5 over the last 12 sessions.
Step 2

You meet the trainer beforehand

30-minute video call between you and the selected trainer to validate the fit, adjust content and clear any final doubts.

  • Live briefing on goals and team context.
  • Veto right — we swap the trainer for free if needed.
Step 3

Content tailored to your context

No recycled slides. The syllabus is reworked from your real cases: tools, constraints, vocabulary, ongoing projects.

  • Hands-on cases drawn from your stack and projects.
  • Program co-written then validated by your team.
Step 4

Continuous quality follow-up

Live evaluations, 30/90/180-day check-ins and a consolidation plan. If the impact misses the mark, we rework it.

  • NPS, knowledge quizzes and skills self-assessment.
  • Satisfaction guarantee: fully satisfied or free rework.

A simple promise: you don't pay to discover the trainer on day one. Everything is validated upfront, by you.

FAQ

Cilium: frequently asked questions

Which tools are used in Cilium training?+
Hands-on work runs on kubernetes, helm, cluster Verification, l7 Monitoring and production Cases. Those tools come from the Cilium program itself, delivered on site over 2 days, so participants practise on the stack they will use at work.
What can participants do after Cilium training?+
They can master the fundamentals of Cilium for professional Kubernetes clusters, install and configure Cilium with eBPF in enterprise environments and implement secure Network Policies via Cilium. Those are the stated objectives of the Cilium program at Beginner level, checked by the end-of-session assessment.
What does the Cilium program cover, day by day?+
Day 1: Cilium Fundamentals: eBPF Installation and Configuration (Kubernetes, Helm, Cluster Verification). Day 2: Cilium Security and Observability: Network Policies and Hubble (L7 Monitoring, Production Cases). The Cilium program runs over 2 days, delivered on site.
How is Cilium training assessed?+
Assessment relies on quiz to validate acquired knowledge at the end of the training, continuous evaluation through practical Cilium exercises and presentation of the continuous project for secure Kubernetes. Learni issues a completion certificate together with the individual assessment report at the end of the Cilium program, which an L&D team can file as evidence.
How much does Cilium training cost per participant?+
Cilium training costs $2,310 per participant. For an in-company team, the flat rate starts at $4,190 for the whole group, up to 8 people. The detailed quote, sent within one business day, adjusts the amount to the format and how far the syllabus is tailored to your team.

What do participants need to know before Cilium training?+
Basics in Kubernetes, Linux, and TCP/IP network protocols.
Is a certificate issued after Cilium training?+
Yes. A Learni completion certificate is issued, along with the individual evaluation report. Learni is a certified training provider and prepares for third-party certifications, but does not award them itself.
Does Learni provide the equipment for Cilium training?+
No. A computer and a stable internet connection are required for each participant. Learni provides the learning platform, the trainer and all course materials.
