eCHO News 38
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
5th September 2023
eBPF Summit is next week and we have a great line up for you! Just the keynotes alone are worth the cost of admission (which is also free, just register here). It's been amazing to see how the event has grown over the past 4 years. eBPF may be a silent platform revolution, but it is getting louder and louder.
For the past 8 months, I've also been working on a project for the eBPF community and there will be a sneak preview of it at eBPF Summit. Even though Cilium will probably graduate this year, I think I'm actually more excited for this project after seeing the preview (don't tell Joe and Andre ??). You aren't going to want to miss it. I'll see you there next week so let's ?? gin!
