cilium ebpf kubeproxy replacement
What are your experiences with this?
I manage around 15ish clusters via rancher with various hw configs and number od nodes (bare metal) and just did POC on an empty cluster with cilium xdp acceleration and kubeproxy replacement and the cilium perf test reports around 10% network throughput gain in all test cases.
Is it worth switching our biggest cluster (22 worker nodes, 40G networking, 128c epycs) to it?
how does the replacement scale with a larger number of nodes?
