The schedule for CiliumCon is out now and I always love to see what the community has been working on with talks ranging from IPv6 only clusters to increasing the scalability of Cilium to diving deep into the kernel to parse FQDNs with eBPF to getting Cilium service mesh into production in 90 days. It will be a whirlwind tour through the hive of activity around the project.
Speaking of hive of activity, the eBPF Foundation just announced its first fellowship program with the goal of expanding the eBPF community. I'm looking forward to hearing your ideas on how to grow the buzz around eBPF. Feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions about the program or are interested in applying. I have some last minute prep for a bikepacking race I'm doing next week so let’s 🐝 -gin.
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
