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

15th November 2022

 

I was hoping that the news would slow down a little bit after KubeCon because we were at our offsite last week in Punta Cana. Fortunately and unfortunately, it almost seems like KubeCon was the slow down and the community keeps on producing lots of great content!

 

I'm really excited that there are two tutorials on how to get started with Cilium on AKS. If you haven't tried it out yet, go check them out and get built-in network policy support, network monitoring, and replacement of kube-proxy for better performances and reduced latency on Azure. I'm also excited to see all the events about Cilium popping up! I'm too sunburnt to write more so let's 🐝 gin!
