ANALYSIS

Comparative Analysis of KubeSlice

A Comparison with Tools like Cilium, Skupper, Submariner, and More


Product Information A versatile and dynamic solution designed for modern application networking demands for cloud native environments.	Comprehensive solution for multi-cluster and multi-cloud deployments, offering GitOps or UI-based service connectivity, integrated DNS, ingress, egress, gateways, application-level control (security, policies, scaling), and observability.	CNI-based solution focusing on multi-cluster connectivity.	Provides only L7 connectivity for microservices using using a messaging platform AMQP. Skupper can run on KubeSlice which is a Layer 3 networking service.	Provides L3 connectivity across clusters as a whole.
Compatibility Engineered for maximum compatibility, the product is designed to seamlessly integrate with any Container Network Interface (CNI), Cloud Platform, or Kubernetes Distribution.	Included	Not Supported [1]	Not Supported [2]	Not Supported [3]
Zero Trust Networking Advanced principles for robust security and network management.[4]	Included	Not Supported [5]	Not Supported [6]	Not Supported [7]
