eBPF is a powerful technology that allows us to run custom programs in the kernel. It’s enabling a whole new generation of tools for networking, security and observability. Let’s explore how it can help us build resilient architectures. 

This talk - with demos - considers several facets where eBPF can help, from dynamic vulnerability patching, through super-fast load balancing, to multi-cluster networking. You’ll also see how eBPF enables the observability we need to diagnose what’s happening when things go wrong.

This panel will aim to explore, share ideas and provide pragmatic insight around some key areas related to designing, running and maintaining resilient architectures.

Kubernetes helps us better manage the complexities of operating microservices. It helps provide sets of abstractions for deploying and running our services. However, these benefits don’t always come easy. In the Kubernetes Expert Panel, we bring together several Kubernetes knowledge leaders to discuss some of the tricker bits around security, networking, and essential complexity of operating Kubernetes. You can expect conversation around service meshes (sidecar and no sidecar), container runtimes, and leveraging Kubernetes as a foundation for the platform you’re building. After some conversation, we’ll open it up to the audience to have your questions answered.
