To keep up to date with all the latest Cilium releases, see Announcements

Here's what's new in v1.18.0:

🚠 Networking

⚖️ Load Balancing Redesign: The service load-balancing control-plane in the Cilium agent has been redesigned to reduce memory usage and improve future extensibility of load-balancing features (cilium/cilium#38469 and others, @joamaki, @DamianSawicki, @brb)
🔌 Virtual Network Devices: Added support for new virtual network device configurations such as VXLAN in IPsec (VinE) and IPIP tunnels (cilium/cilium#37723, @ldelossa; cilium/cilium#37346, @gyutaeb)
Ⓜ️ Multiple Egress Gateways: Egress Gateways policies can now direct traffic towards multiple gateway nodes (cilium/cilium#39304, @carlos-abad)
🚦 Ingress Rate Limiting: The bandwidth manager now supports ingress rate limiting (cilium/cilium#36351, @l1b0k)
📢 Multi-Device L2 Announcements: The L2 pod announcement feature now supports multiple devices (cilium/cilium#38198, @dylandreimerink)
🏢 Neighbor Subsystem Rework: The neighbor subsystem was made more resilient through a new system that reconciles desired neighbor entries with the kernel state (cilium/cilium#39987, @dylandreimerink)

🌐 IPv6

🚇 Tunneling Underlay: The tunneling datapath mode now supports using an IPv6 network underlay, including when configured with IPsec transparent encryption (cilium/cilium#38296, cilium/cilium#39497, @pchaigno)
💬 Kube Proxy Replacement: Cilium now implements service translation when running on an IPv6 underlay (cilium/cilium#39074, @pchaigno)
📋 Delegated IPAM: When delegating IP address management to a third party plugin, Cilium now configures IPv6 routes for connectivity if the plugin supports IPv6 (cilium/cilium#38249, @caorui-io, @kadevu)
📦 IP Fragment Support: Cilium now processes ordered IPv6 fragments to apply policy and routing functionality (cilium/cilium#38110, @gentoo-root)
🚪 Egress gateway policies can now match IPv6 address ranges (cilium/cilium#38452, @rgo3)

🛡️ Policy & Observability

🏷️ Policy Names in Hubble-CLI: Show the names of (C)CNPs that allowed or denied traffic when monitoring flows in Hubble (cilium/cilium#39453, @antonipp)
📝 Policy Log Fields: A new free-text log field is added to policies, which is exposed in Hubble flows for easy correlation and searching (cilium/cilium#39902, @squeed)
🛰️ Encapsulated Traffic Decoding: Hubble decodes encapsulated traffic for deeper introspection into traffic flows (cilium/cilium#37634, @kaworu)
🏰 ClusterMesh Policy Restriction: A new option allows the cluster entity to apply only to the local cluster in ClusterMesh environment (cilium/cilium#39338, @MrFreezeex)
✨ Enhanced Policy Dashboard: The Policy section of the Cilium Grafana dashboard has been improved to show more relevant graphs, including policy drops in both directions (cilium/cilium#36492, cilium/cilium#37445, @squeed)

🌅 Performance

📊 Scale Test Results: Cilium implements policies and services up to 45% faster in higher scale environments (Various; @marseel, cilium/cilium#40227)
📦 Image Size Reduction: Docker image sizes are reduced by 32% on arm64 architecture images (cilium/cilium#40005, @marseel)
⚡ Improved Policy Performance: The DNS proxy can process large numbers of IPs faster, and the EndpointSelector match implementation has been optimized (cilium/cilium#39340, @squeed; cilium/cilium#40414, @marseel)
🪞 EndpointSlice Mirroring for Multi-Cluster Services: Clustermesh mirrors EndpointSlice from the local cluster instead of copying the Service selectors when using the MCS-API controller (cilium/cilium#38596, @MrFreezeex)
🌐 KVStoreMesh Optimization: Cross-cluster state distribution is optimized by only synchronizing identities keyed by ID, not by value (cilium/cilium#36471, @HadrienPatte)
🧠 Egress Gateway Processing: Egress gateway policy processing is significantly improved when matching a large number of pods (cilium/cilium#37714, @giorio94)
🗑️ Optimized Garbage Collection for Connection Tracking: Cilium leverages batched iterators for CTMap GC (cilium/cilium#36288, @tommyp1ckles)

⚙️ Operations

📈 API Server Connections at Scale: Improve kube-apiserver connections behavior at scale through failover and setting better jitter and backoff configurations (cilium/cilium#37601, @aditighag; [The invocation of CiliumIdentity changes is triggered after a random delay when modifying the namespace label. cilium/cilium#38031](https://redirect.github.com/cilium/cilium/pull/38
