The eBPF dataplane differs from traditional Linux dataplane in many ways, with its structure largely dictated by the location of the so-called eBPF hooks inside the kernel – locations where developers can inject their eBPF programs to change default kernel behavior.

Kubernetes has become the cornerstone of modern DevOps, empowering teams to quickly deploy, manage, and scale containerized applications. However, many struggle to navigate Kubernetes' complexity while operating across hybrid and multi-cloud environments. Red Hat OpenShift builds on Kubernetes by providing a consistent, enterprise-grade platform that abstracts the intricacies of the underlying infrastructure. It’s trusted by customers across industries and around the globe.

In the world of cloud-native applications, microservices and Kubernetes have become the backbone of modern software architecture. The scalability, flexibility, and orchestration capabilities provided by Kubernetes have revolutionized how applications are built and managed. However, like any powerful tool, Kubernetes introduces complexity, and with complexity comes risk — particularly in the form of security vulnerabilities.

One of the primary goals of information security is to protect data, which of course entails protecting the resources that store and provide access to that data. According to the NIST Cybersecurity Framework, organizations need to develop and implement the necessary protections to restrict or mitigate the effect of a possible cybersecurity incident. Security should be integrated right from the source of the cloud architecture design process.

There is nothing more exciting (or nerve-wracking) than sharing something you’ve created with the world. Over 25 years ago, we started working on Wireshark. For us, it has always been more than just a piece of software — it’s how we met, how we began our careers, and how we learned to solve problems that once seemed insurmountable.

The origins of Sysdig, Falco, and Wireshark can be traced back to one fundamental need: making sense of complex, real-time network traffic for better security and operational insights. Long before containers and cloud security became pressing concerns, Gerald Combs and Loris Degioanni, creators of Wireshark, were solving a different but related problem: how to capture and analyze packets to understand what was happening across networks.

After years in the technical writing trenches at industry giants like Cisco, Riverbed, and Akamai, I now lead the Sysdig Documentation team. I’m Shuba Subramaniam, and I’m passionate about creating content that truly helps people — whether they’re exploring Sysdig for the first time or troubleshooting a tricky issue at 2 a.m.
