eCHO news in your bi-weekly wrap up of all things eBPF and Cilium. If you want to keep up on the latest in cloud native networking, observability, and security this is your quelle

 

While the news front has been quiet with everyone away on vacation for August, I can tell the fall conference season is about to kick off. It's cool to see all of the excitement around eBPF and there is even the first Tetragon talk from someone outside the project! I'm OOO this week for my brother's wedding and as a last break before all of those conferences so I'll keep it short. Let's 🐝 gin!
