 eCHO news is 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

27th June 2023

 

We have not just one, but two exciting events coming back to us. CiliumCon will now be a full day event at KubeCon + CloudNativeCon North America. I'm excited to hear more end user journeys and technical talks uncovering the buzz around the bytecode. As much an overloaded term, I'm also interested to see what will be in the "Meshes" part of the program.

 

eBPF Summit is also coming back for the 4th time. While being lower level than CiliumCon, we already have a bunch of great submissions ranging from Kubernetes monitoring to eBPF for red and blue teams.

 

Both events currently have open CfPs with the former until August 6th and the latter until July 21st. If you want help writing or reviewing your CfP for either event, please feel free to reach out to me and I'm happy to chat. If you need some ideas on what to submit, maybe the articles below will spark something so let's 🐝 gin!
