In direct routing datapath mode, traffic from the Envoy host process is not being subjected correctly to datapath processing. The symptoms are

  • Lack of L7 visibility for traffic from the proxy (for example, load-balanced traffic)
  • Failure to enforce network policy for these flows

The workaround is to run Cilium in tunnelling database mode, using --datapath-mode=vxlan on the cilium install command.

Seen on GKE and EKS.

Same on AKS. When using datapath-mode=azure (by detection) it won't route traffic. vxlan works.
