Cilium, eBPF, and Modern Kubernetes Networking with Bill Mulligan
About this episode
This episode discusses the challenges of modern Kubernetes networking and the role of eBPF and Cilium in addressing these issues.
Modern cloud-native systems are built on highly dynamic, distributed infrastructure where containers spin up and down constantly, services communicate across clusters, and traditional networking assumptions break down. Linux networking was designed decades ago around static IPs and linear rule processing, which makes it increasingly difficult to achieve scale in Kubernetes environments. At the same time,
