I'm looking for a ballpark for Cilium Enterprise licensing. Is it closer to $5,000, $20,000, or $50,000 a year?
What does Cilium Enterprise roughly cost per year?

One rough figure to investigate is around $1,000 per node. The available information doesn't establish which nodes are counted or whether that figure is annual, so don't use it as a firm budget number.
Ask the vendor for a quote based on your node count and confirm exactly what the license covers.

Another reported figure is a starting point around $60,000 per year. Treat that as an unverified indication, not a published minimum. Actual pricing could differ, so a quote is the only reliable way to budget for it.

Before comparing prices, check what you need beyond the open source version. Enterprise includes support and features that aren't bundled into the open source release. BFD has been mentioned as one example, but availability may change, so check the current feature list.

Worth asking the vendor to spell out which requested features and support terms are included in the quote.
