Power cut two weeks ago resulted in my main @Synology NAS dying, luckily I had a back NAS that mirrors the main… sadly that died as well due to the power cut. 🫠

What I’m now calling egressV2 is pretty much done in @kube_vip, native kernel calls and simple nftables rules should make for a much nicer experience. github.com/kube-vip/kube-…

Wow ephemeral containers allow for some funky stuff! I can easily apply a ephemeral container that intercepts traffic (with eBPF 🐝) and transparently encrypts it between pods. Doesn't show up as a container, so does that mean it isn't a sidecar 🤔

might be biased, but i think the work we are doing at @LoopholeLabs with eBPF is among some of the most interesting use-cases in the entire space youtube.com/watch?v=Y_C4Ti…

We have a blog post coming out soon where we show how outbound XDP can improve application throughput by 2x - with no changes to the host or the application.

Though veth would seem like a perfect fit for container networking, but practitioners soon discovered it had a number bottlenecks that slowed communication rates across containers. thenewstack.io/bytedance-to-n… #NetKit @thenewstack #Linux #eBPF
