eBPF Summit Oct 28-29, 2020

The first ever eBPF Summit is just over one week out and we are already well past 1'000 registrations. We have been blown away by the number of talk and keynote proposals. This also meant that we had to turn down many fantastic talks and we hope that our selection provides an interesting and diverse set of talks. Some of the content that did not make the schedule will be posted as blog posts on ebpf.io over the coming weeks. In this post, we'll give a quick preview of what to be excited about and how to plan to attend the event.

How Alibaba Cloud uses Cilium for High-Performance Cloud-Native Networking

A couple of weeks ago, the Alibaba team presented details on the new datapath for the Alibaba Cloud during the SIG Cloud-Provider-Alibaba meeting and also published a blog post with the technical architecture. Guess what, it is all Cilium & eBPF based. Alibaba Cloud is not the first cloud provider to directly embed Cilium. Recently, Google announced the availability of Dataplane V2 based on Cilium & eBPF for GKE and Anthos. What is unique to Alibaba's setup is the use of IPVLAN as we will learn below. In this blog post, we will dive into the details of the Terway CNI, the CNI plugin of Alibaba Cloud, and review some of the statements made in the blog post.

Multitenancy and Network Security in Kubernetes with Cilium

Multitenancy and Network Security in Kubernetes with Cilium

Multitenancy is a common pattern in Kubernetes. Many organizations deploy Kubernetes-as-a-Service, where one cluster houses many tenants and workloads. This pattern might sound familiar, as cloud computing services like AWS, Azure, and GCP have enabled multiple customers (tenants) to run their business-critical workloads in a single cluster for years.

How Cilium Protects Against Common Network Attacks

Recently a vulnerability was discovered by Etienne Champetier that impacted several Kubernetes CNIs. The vulnerability worked by having an attacker pod send rogue IPv6 “Router Advertisement” packets to the host worker node, causing the node to route its IPv6 traffic through the attackers pod (commonly known as “Man-In-The-Middle”). Fortunately for users of Cilium, this vulnerability didn’t impact their environments because of several built-in and on-by-default security features provided by Cilium.In this blog post, we’ll discuss how on-by-default Cilium features automatically protect against these common types of network attacks.
