CNCF On-Demand: Calico Whisker UI, NFTables & Staged Policies on Calico v3.30

Peter Kelly from Tigera walks us through Calico v3.30/3.31’s coolest upgrades: a “staged network policy” mode for dry-running rules and avoiding surprise outages, a production-ready nftables data plane that smashes iptables’ slow lookups, and policy tiers to let security teams override app developers without friction.

On the observability front, say hello to Calico Whisker—a fresh open-source UI for visualizing flow logs and troubleshooting—and don’t miss the Calico Cloud free tier, which hooks any open-source cluster into advanced policy recommendations at zero cost.
