After an exciting start with the first day of the eBPF Summit, the second and also final day of the summit this year was kicked off with another warm welcome from Thomas Graf, during which he reminded attendees:"Bees are nice. Be a bee."
The first day of the eBPF Summit is a wrap and it certainly was an amazing day full of information about eBPF, the technology that is changing the shape of Linux networking, observability, and performance.
Thomas helps us understand better the benefits of eBPF and the open source projects Cilium along with Hubble
The first ever eBPF Summit is just over one week out and we are already well past 1'000 registrations. We have been blown away by the number of talk and keynote proposals. This also meant that we had to turn down many fantastic talks and we hope that our selection provides an interesting and diverse set of talks. Some of the content that did not make the schedule will be posted as blog posts on ebpf.io over the coming weeks. In this post, we'll give a quick preview of what to be excited about and how to plan to attend the event.
A couple of weeks ago, the Alibaba team presented details on the new datapath for the Alibaba Cloud during the SIG Cloud-Provider-Alibaba meeting and also published a blog post with the technical architecture. Guess what, it is all Cilium & eBPF based. Alibaba Cloud is not the first cloud provider to directly embed Cilium. Recently, Google announced the availability of Dataplane V2 based on Cilium & eBPF for GKE and Anthos. What is unique to Alibaba's setup is the use of IPVLAN as we will learn below. In this blog post, we will dive into the details of the Terway CNI, the CNI plugin of Alibaba Cloud, and review some of the statements made in the blog post.
This is a guest blog by Josh Van Leeuwen and covers how Josh implemented a CNI live migration for a customer, Sky Betting and Gaming, to live migrate a cluster running the Canal CNI plugin (Flannel+Calico) to Cilium. Josh is working as a Customer Reliability Engineer for Jetstack. Read on to hear what Josh has to say...

Google introduces GKE Dataplane V2, an opinionated dataplane that harnesses the power of Cilium, an open source project that makes the Linux kernel Kubernetes-aware using eBPF
Today marks an exciting day for the Cilium community and all Cilium contributors, Google just announced that Cilium has been selected and made available as the new datapath for GKE and Anthos.In this post, we will take a look behind the scenes that lead up to this.
