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
9th April 2024
I'm in the US for two weeks, first to visit the Isovalent office in SF (before it is gone) and second to speak at Open Source Summit (where I'll also be doing a book signing, come say hi!). Going from Schillerkiez to Silicon Valley, I find it fascinating knowing that I can find Cilium in these two very different places. Both the German government agency across the street from me and the hot startups advertising on the 101 are using Cilium in production to provide networking, observability, and security in their Kubernetes world and beyond.
It really helps highlight to me that the growth and adoption of the project is not just the latest buzz at KubeCon (even though the booth and talks were packed), but actually defining how people are building, deploying, and operating cloud native infrastructure around the world. From the German Mittelstand to whatever the latest AI buzz is, Cilium is there and that's pretty cool! I have a few slides to polish up so let's 🐝 gin!
"Using annotation processing allows to reduce the amount of C code we have to write and reduces errors by generating all definitions from the Java code"
"After the comparison, we chose Cilium because it’s sidecar free for lower resource consumption, easy to configure global services, and cheaper than AWS LB creating a very elegant solution for us"
"un bicho capaz de viajar por el espacio del kernel y no solo para observarlo sino tambien para manipularlo!"
