Don’t miss out! Join us at our upcoming events: EnvoyCon Virtual on October 15 and KubeCon + CloudNativeCon North America 2020 Virtual from November 17-20. Learn more at https://kubecon.io. The conferences feature presentations from developers and end users of Kubernetes, Prometheus, Envoy, and all of the other CNCF-hosted projects. eBPF and Kubernetes: Little Helper Minions for Scaling Microservices - Daniel Borkmann, Cilium eBPF has come a long way in the Linux kernel and is gaining more and more adoption and popularity in the context of Kubernetes in the networking, tracing and security space. In fact, it is changing the way we think about operating systems by opening the doors to fully customise the Linux kernel as a platform. Given the rapid pace of development of eBPF in the kernel, it is often times quite challenging to keep up with all the exciting advances coming from the eBPF community. This talk provides a deep dive from the perspective of one of the eBPF co-maintainers and core developers in the Linux kernel of where we came from, where we currently are, what the future brings, why eBPF has cloud native roots and how Kubernetes users can benefit from all that. We will cover the user space landscape around eBPF as well as its inner workings and interactions with the rest of the kernel. https://sched.co/ZemQ

How eBPF is shaping the future of Linux and platform engineering
When Docker burst onto the scene in 2013, Linux containers seemed like an overnight success. But the evolution to containers—and microservices and Kubernetes—was actually decades in the making, based on kernel primitives in the Linux operating system. Docker used these primitives, namely cgroups and namespaces, as building blocks to create a lightweight, easy-to-use software packaging format. Linux containers had been used by Google and others for many years, but Docker made them easily accessible to mainstream developers.

Why cloud native belongs at the heart of agentic AI: Lessons from building a multi-agent security platform on Kubernetes
In March, I gave a talk at KubeCon + CloudNativeCon Europe 2026 in Amsterdam. After the session, the same questions kept coming up on the CNCF Slack and in person: why build agentic AI on cloud native…
