The company will rapidly expand its team both to support quickly-growing customer demand for Isovalent Cilium Enterprise and to collaborate with the always-expanding set of ecosystem partners who look to Isovalent as the new standard for secure and observable connectivity within Kubernetes and beyond. About Isovalent Isovalent, founded by the creators of Cilium and co-maintainers of eBPF, builds open source software and enterprise solutions for cloud native service connectivity, security, and observability. Continuing the Isovalent JourneyIsovalent was founded by Dan Wendlandt and Thomas Graf in 2017, betting big on eBPF as THE transformational technology that would allow them to bring Linux networking & security into the modern era of Kubernetes and microservices. Isovalent has the rare opportunity to lead the creation of a fundamentally new and incredibly strategic layer in the enterprise infrastructure stack, and we are thrilled to be part of that journey. "Continuing its commitment to open source innovation, Isovalent will use the proceeds from the Series B fundraise to remain the leading force behind the eBPF community, and continue the rise of Cilium as the leading technology for Kubernetes networking, security, and service mesh.
