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

This week brings us eBPF in hardware, for spawning reverse shells, and finally landing in the Thoughtworks Tech Radar. Learn how to set up Cilium in Azure and multiple ways to get started with Cilium Clustermesh. Let's 🐝 gin!

The Technical

ENOHONK - Linux eBPF backdoor (TCP/UDP) for spawning reverse shells

Less Honkin. More Tonkin. From Kris Nóva.

Linux eBPF backdoor (TCP) for spawning reverse shells. "Seriously please use these responsibly."

hBPF = eBPF in hardware

Not an April Fool's joke. "this project now implements most of eBPF features in hardware (FPGA)"

The How To

Kubernetes Multicluster with Kind and Cilium

Learn how to set up a multi cluster mesh with Cilium. "It was not really hard to configure Kubernetes multicluster with Cilium and Kind"

Bring your own Container Network Interface (CNI) plugin with Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS)

Walk through on how to deploy a Kubernetes cluster in Azure with Cilium as the CNI. Great to see Cilium across all three major cloud providers!
