Why You Need a Cloud-Native & AI-Ready Platform – Now
Kubernetes has become the enterprise control plane for everything from classic microservices to data pipelines and AI/ML workloads. Platform and SRE teams are now expected to run larger, more expensive, business-critical workloads on Kubernetes – including GPU-heavy AI jobs – while keeping costs, security, and compliance under control.
Surveys show that around 90% of organizations expect their AI/ML workloads on Kubernetes to grow over the next 12 months. At the same time, complexity, tool sprawl and security risks are increasing, which is why platform engineering and internal developer platforms are emerging as the new operating model.
Networking and security sit right in the middle of this shift. Cilium – powered by eBPF – has become the de facto standard for cloud-native networking and security across major cloud providers. Combined with Isovalent’s enterprise platform, it gives you a consistent, policy-driven way to connect and protect workloads across clusters, clouds, and data centers – including AI/ML workloads.
From simple stacks to AI-ready platforms — complexity is rising. Get ahead with a cloud-native foundation built for scale, security, and control.
What You Get from the Lab
Focus on real workloads, including AI/ML on Kubernetes. This is not a generic Kubernetes training. It’s a guided, opinionated deep dive into how your platform team can build an AI-ready, cloud-native foundation – Co-created with Isovalent, the company behind Cilium.
A Concrete Target Architecture, Not Just Slides
Walk out with a sketched target architecture for your Kubernetes networking and security – aligned with your current stack, constraints, and roadmap. We map how Cilium, Isovalent Enterprise, and your existing tooling fit together instead of adding “just another tool”.
Clarity on AI-Ready Infrastructure
See how to run AI/ML workloads safely and efficiently on Kubernetes: GPU-bound jobs, data pipelines, model serving, and classic apps on the same platform – with network policies, observability, and compliance built in rather than bolted on.
Reduced Risk for Your Next Move
Whether you’re consolidating clusters, introducing better Observability, or modernizing legacy workloads, the lab gives you low-risk, lab-grade validation before you touch production: what changes, what breaks, and what stays exactly the same.
About our partner: Isovalent
Isovalent, the company behind Cilium, is our strategic partner for co-creating and enabling the lab’s Cilium and eBPF capabilities. Together, we combine deep Cilium expertise and best practices with Logicalis’ enterprise integration and managed services strengths – so customers can validate real-world Kubernetes networking, security, and observability scenarios in a reproducible, production-minded environment.
From 30-Minute Demo to Hands-On PoC
We adapt the depth of the lab to where your platform journey is today – all the way from first exploration to a focused proof of concept.
30-Minute Cloud-Native Demo
Ideal for:
quick orientation or stakeholder buy-in
- Guided demo of a Cilium-powered Kubernetes environment
- Short tour through networking, security, and observability flows
- 10 minutes Q&A focused on your current challenges
90-Minute Deep Dive Session
Ideal for:
platform teams evaluating Cilium / Isovalent
- Walkthrough of end-to-end traffic flows (north-south, east-west, and cluster-to-cluster)
- Live examples of network policies, identity-aware security, and troubleshooting with eBPF-powered observability
- Discussion on how this maps to your environments (on-prem, public cloud, hybrid)
Custom Proof of Concept (PoC) Lab
Ideal for:
teams ready to validate design decisions
- Jointly defined use case (e.g. secure AI/ML workloads, microsegmentation for critical apps, consolidation of legacy networking)
- Guided “nuke-and-rebuild” of a reference environment that mirrors your topology
- Optional integration with your CI/CD, logging, and security tooling
- Clear documentation of findings and recommended next steps
*All formats can be delivered remotely or on-site, depending on your preference and region.
Quote from Stefan Hoeltken
A Clear, Executable Next Step: You leave with a concrete follow-up: a prioritized set of use cases and technical steps for a PoC or pilot – not just “things to think about”.
What We Can Show You in the Lab
We keep the lab horizontal by design – but we always work with realistic scenarios. Here are examples we frequently model with customers:
- AI/ML on Kubernetes, Safely Connected
- Isolating GPU workloads from the rest of the cluster while keeping data and control plane traffic observable
- Applying network policies per team, namespace, or application to control who can talk to which models and data services
- Zero-Trust Networking for Cloud-Native Apps
- Moving from IP-based firewall rules to identity-aware policies
- Enforcing least-privilege communication between services across namespaces and clusters
-
Multi-Cluster / Multi-Cloud Connectivity
- Connecting Kubernetes clusters across clouds and data centers with Cilium Cluster Mesh
- Applying consistent policies and observability across heterogeneous environments
- Coexistence of Legacy and Cloud-Native Workloads
- Running VMs and containers side-by-side on a Kubernetes-based platform stack (e.g. Kubernetes + KubeVirt + Cilium)
- Providing one operational model and one networking & security layer for both worlds
- Compliance-Driven Segmentation & Observability
- Building audit-ready visibility of which workloads talk to which databases, APIs, and external services
- Using eBPF-powered flow logs and service maps to answer “who talked to what and when?” in minutes instead of days
Each scenario is tailored to your environment, architecture, and regulatory context – whether you’re in finance, telco, manufacturing, retail, or the public sector.
