Explore the revolutionary impact of eBPF on Kubernetes deployments in this 19-minute keynote address by Liz Rice, Chief Open Source Officer at Isovalent. Delve into the evolution of the sidecar model and discover how eBPF, a kernel technology, is transforming application instrumentation. Learn about eBPF's ability to dynamically alter kernel behavior, enabling observation, security, and connectivity for all processes on a virtual machine without the need for sidecar containers. Examine the potential obsolescence of sidecars as eBPF tools like Cilium Hubble emerge, offering enhanced observability, networking, and security features. Investigate the reduction in resource usage, improved performance, and the shift towards transparent encryption. Gain insights into the future of cloud-native connectivity and the ongoing evolution driven by performance improvements in this CNCF-hosted presentation.
