Missed the KubeCon headshots this time, but ended up with this photo instead 🤷‍♂️

Was I scrolling Github, Twitter, LinkedIn, or Gmail? 😂

Awesome to see Cilium's Tetragon appear on the Thoughtworks technology radar

The project has a bright future ahead of it 🐝

Love to see the love for Hubble 🔍 actually everyone's favorite part of Cilium once they start using it

📖🔎 We’ve been using eBPF to detect the xz backdoor. 🐝 Apply this out-of-the-box TracingPolicy with Tetragon to start monitoring OpenSSH dependencies for vulnerable versions. Check out a JSON event in the post:

Pretty crazy that Isovalent is #5 in contributions to CNCF in the past year 🤯 that is what commitment to open source looks like and part of why Cilium is moving so fast

Thanks to Bob Killen @mrbobbytabl.es for the slide. See the whole talk here sched.co/1YeQH

“We did look at Istio and the AWS load balancer. After the comparison, we chose Cilium because it’s sidecar free for lower resource consumption, easy to configure global services, and cheaper than AWS LB creating a very elegant solution for us'

'When we speak to customers and ask them what they love about Cilium actually the answer is typically Hubble.

They usually start with one Cilium feature like service mesh then fall in love with the observability that Hubble brings' 😻

Pulled this from a customer deck, we are now in day 2 of cloud native where rather than green field deployments, we need to integrate into existing infrastructure.

One of Cilium's goal is help ease this connection back to traditional infrastructure tools. Where do you see it?
