title: Use Cilium for NetworkPolicy

{% capture overview %}
This page shows how to use Cilium for NetworkPolicy.
For background on Cilium, read the [Introduction to Cilium](http://cilium.readthedocs.io/en/latest/intro/).

## Deploying Cilium on Minikube for Basic Testing
To get familiar with Cilium easily you can follow the
[Cilium Kubernetes Getting Started Guide](http://www.cilium.io/try)
to perform a basic DaemonSet installation of Cilium in minikube.
Installation in a minikube setup uses a simple ''all-in-one'' YAML
file that includes DaemonSet configurations for Cilium and a key-value store
(consul) as well as appropriate RBAC settings:
```shell
$ kubectl create -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/cilium/cilium/master/examples/minikube/cilium-ds.yaml
clusterrole "cilium" created
serviceaccount "cilium" created
clusterrolebinding "cilium" created
daemonset "cilium-consul" created
daemonset "cilium" created
```
The remainder of the Getting Started Guide explains how to enforce both L3/L4 (i.e., IP address + port) security
policies, as well as L7 (e.g., HTTP) security policies using an example application.
## Deploying Cilium for Production Use
For detailed instructions around deploying Cilium for production, see:
[Cilium Administrator Guide](http://cilium.readthedocs.io/en/latest/admin/) This
documentation includes detailed requirements, instructions and example production DaemonSet files.

## Understanding Cilium components
Deploying a cluster with Cilium adds Pods to the `kube-system` namespace. To see this list of Pods run:
```shell
kubectl get pods --namespace=kube-system
```
You'll see a list of Pods similar to this:
```console
NAME DESIRED CURRENT READY NODE-SELECTOR AGE
cilium 1 1 1 <none> 2m
...
```
There are two main components to be aware of:
- One `cilium` Pod runs on each node in your cluster and enforces network policy on the traffic to/from Pods on that node using Linux BPF.
- For production deployments, Cilium should leverage the key-value store cluster (e.g., etcd) used by Kubernetes, which typically runs on the Kubernetes master nodes. The [Cilium Administrator Guide](http://cilium.readthedocs.io/en/latest/admin/) includes an example DaemonSet which can be customized to point to this key-value store cluster. The simple ''all-in-one'' DaemonSet for minikube requires no such configuration because it automatically deploys a `cilium-consul` Pod to provide a key-value store.

Once your cluster is running, you can follow the [NetworkPolicy getting started guide](/docs/getting-started-guides/network-policy/walkthrough) to try out Kubernetes NetworkPolicy with Cilium. Have fun, and if you have questions, contact us using the [Cilium Slack Channel](https://cilium.herokuapp.com/).

You'll need to have a Kubernetes cluster in place, with network policy support. There are a number of network providers that support NetworkPolicy, including:
* [Calico](/docs/tasks/configure-pod-container/calico-network-policy/)
* [Cilium](/docs/tasks/configure-pod-container/cilium-network-policy/)
* [Romana](/docs/tasks/configure-pod-container/romana-network-policy/)
