 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

22nd August 2023

 

August is still supposed to be the summer break, but skimming through this newsletter the Cilium and eBPF communities aren't taking much of one. I'm actually quite blown away by the tutorials, videos, and events in this edition. There are so many videos coming out now, I needed to add it as its own section in the newsletter. If this is the summer, I can't wait to see what the fall brings when everyone is back to work.

 

Speaking of summer breaking soon coming to a close, the fall conference season is just over the horizon. If you want to catch me this fall to talk about eBPF or Cilium you can find me at eBPF Summit, KubeCon China, and KubeCon Chicago. We have a lot of exciting projects launching at each one that I need to prepare for so let's 🐝 gin!
