From its vantage point in the kernel, eBPF provides a platform for building a new generation of infrastructure tools for things like observability, security and networking. These kinds of facilities used to be implemented as libraries, and then in container environments they were often deployed as sidecars. In this talk let’s consider why eBPF can offer numerous advantages over these models, particularly when it comes to performance.
Liz Rice is Chief Open Source Officer with eBPF specialists Isovalent, creators of the Cilium cloud-native networking, security, and observability project. She was Chair of the CNCF's Technical Oversight Committee in 2019-2022, and Co-Chair of KubeCon + CloudNativeCon in 2018. She is also the author of Container Security, published by O'Reilly. She has a wealth of software development, team, and product management experience from working on network protocols and distributed systems, and in digital technology sectors such as VOD, music, and VoIP. When not writing code, or talking about it, Liz loves riding bikes in places with better weather than her native London, competing in virtual races on Zwift, and making music under the pseudonym Insider Nine.
