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
10th January 2023
Kicking off the new year of eCHO but instead of looking forward, I want to take a quick look back on 2022. Cilium is now 7 years old, but 2022 was finally the year where it became the de-facto standard CNI.
All major cloud providers and many of the most popular Kubernetes distributions are using Cilium in some form. This standardization on Cilium is bringing the benefits of eBPF everywhere, giving companies a consistent connectivity experience wherever they need to deploy Kubernetes, in or across clouds, on-prem, or even on extreme edge use cases such as running Kubernetes on a ship. Based on the feedback from our user survey, this consistent connectivity is crucial because most people are running multiple clusters with different tenants across disparate infrastructure. Having Cilium as the CNI everywhere creates a seamless user experience anywhere you need to connect an application - and in distributed computing everything goes over the network.
With that as the starting point for 2023, what do you think will happen this year? Reply back and I might feature your answer in one of the next newsletters. Let's 🐝 gin!
As always, if you’ve seen a blog post, a tool, or anything else eBPF or Cilium related that you think the rest of the community should hear about, send them my way. You can either hit reply or join the #echo-news channel on Cilium Slack. You can also find all of the past episodes on the website.
