eBPF - Kubernetes Network Security without the Blind Sides!

Cloud Security Podcast

eBPF is recent graduate in the CNCF family and this means that the world of Cloud and Kubernetes, networking looks very different with more security capabilities. Cilium the project from Isovalent has been gaining traction for network security for kubernetes as blindsides have been called out in the managed kubernetes deployments. This episode was recorded at KubeCon NA with Thomas Graf from Isovalent to share what the blindsides are and why eBPF provides better network security capability for kubernetes deployments of any scale.
