The Future of eBPF in Cloud Native - Thomas Graf, Isovalent

eBPF is taking the cloud native world by storm. Where will it lead us? This talk introduces eBPF by looking at the ecosystem of eBPF-enabled CNCF projects focusing on what they provide for end-users and how they will evolve in the coming years. The projects covered span a wide set of use cases including networking, security, service mesh, observability, and performance monitoring. We will answer questions such as "Why is eBPF so powerful?" "What is different to prior similar technologies?", and "What values does eBPF provide for end users?". To sum it all up, we will together look at how eBPF itself will evolve in the coming years and what impact that will have to the cloud native world.
