eBPF with AWS

I have initially talked about eBPF and how it can be used for security tooling refer - ebpf. One of the main advantages is high performance networking you can see that Facebook adopted this in 2017. Performance being a main advantage there . Want to know how read here high-performance-networking

Cilium has worked on bringing the high performance networking to the Kubernetes service mesh and private setups have already started using it . But you are using Amazon EKS or other cloud provider you are also dealing  with compatibility requirements as well . High performance networking is  now part of AWS . If your application is using EKS there may be workloads that require high performance networking it's worth trying them out . 

Why Sidecars are less favored ?

Sidecars was a way to include additional features with security tooling and observability but soon the resources become a concern . Sidecars consume additional CPU, memory, and network bandwidth, which can be significant, especially in large-scale deployments. Each sidecar runs as a separate container, which means more resources are required per pod
