Sessions
From KubeCon to ContainerDays, eBPF is trendy in the Cloud Native world. What is eBPF, and why is it revolutionary, and what can it bring to you specifically?
Through concrete examples applied to observability, networking, and security, this talk will explain the principles of eBPF and its concrete advantages to connect and secure Cloud Native applications.
Container workloads and their orchestrations brings new challenges for networking and observability.
With micro-services architectures increasing the amount of east-west traffic, transient IPs making it harder to correlate network information with workload identity, and application logic split into a multitude of components, traditional SDN approaches are reaching their limit.
Leveraging the eBPF kernel technology, Ciliium is a CNCF project which implements a performant and highly scalable CNI plugin and the while providing metadata-rich observability of the network traffic.
