Sharing experiences and learning from other users is essential. We are frequently asked who is using a particular feature of Cilium to get in contact with other users to share experiences and best-practices. While the Cilium Slack community allows users to get in touch, it can be challenging to find users of a particular feature quickly.
The following is a directory of users to help identify users of individual features. The users themselves directly maintain the list.
If you are using Cilium, please consider adding yourself as a user with a quick description of your use case by opening a pull request to this file and adding a section describing your usage of Cilium. If you are open to others contacting you about your use of Cilium on Slack, add your Slack nick as well.

- You must represent the user listed. Do NOT add entries on behalf of other users.
- There is no minimum deployment size but we request to list permanent deployments only, i.e., no demo or trial deployments. Commercial or production use is not required. A well-done home lab setup can be equally interesting as a large-scale commercial deployment.
