Magic Cilium Policy Lab: Visual NetworkPolicy Simulator for Beginners | eBPF Summit Hackathon 2025

Magic Cilium Policy Lab is my submission to the eBPF Summit: Hackathon Edition 2025.
This tool makes CiliumNetworkPolicy easy to understand by simulating “who can talk to whom” and turning complex YAML into a simple visual graph.

In this video, I walk you through:
✔ Why Cilium policies are hard to understand
✔ How Magic Cilium simulates allowed/denied traffic
✔ A live demo of CLI + graph UI
✔ How it uses Cilium’s identity-based, eBPF-powered policy logic
✔ What I learned while building it
✔ Future enhancements and roadmap

Magic Cilium helps:

Developers

Platform/DevOps teams

Security engineers

Anyone new to Cilium or eBPF

✨ Why this project matters
CiliumNetworkPolicy is extremely powerful, but understanding label-based, identity-driven rules can be difficult.
Magic Cilium gives you a simple, visual way to understand connectivity decisions — without needing a full cluster.
