Today’s Day Two Cloud turns the nerd knob to eleven as we delve into kernels, eBPF, sidecar proxies, and more. If you’re an old-school engineer used to working with load balancers and proxies, this show looks at new ways to do application delivery. Our guest is William Morgan, CEO at Buoyant and a creator of the Linkerd service mesh. This episode was spurred by a blog post William wrote.
We discuss:
- Use cases for service meshes in Kubernetes
- What eBPF is and how it works
- Why you might want to use eBPF instead of a sidecar proxy
- eBPF attack surface and guardrails
- Practical use cases
- More
