How eBPF is evolving container networking
Bill Doerrfeld | March 3, 2025
My latest
feature on InfoWorld explores how eBPF is disrupting the status quo for container networking.
Is eBPF the future of container networking? It's certainly shaking things up...
Containers are designed to be isolated—that's great for security but tricky for networking. eBPF is rewriting the rules, working at the kernel-level, and optimizing performance by cutting out the heavy network stack.
As Liz Rice, Chief Open Source Officer at Isovalent, told me, "With eBPF, we can bypass parts of these superfluous networking stacks."
For my latest InfoWorld feature, I spoke with top minds in the space about how eBPF is transforming container networking, who's adopting it, what challenges remain, and where else eBPF is making an impact.
Huge thanks to everyone who contributed their insights.

AI researchers are calling the next class of models large action models (LAMs). For The New Stack, I explored what LAMs are, what examples are emerging in the market, and what experts think.
My article for LeadDev explores specific prompting techniques proven to sharpen your AI-assisted software development.
Nordic APIs, the API-specific blog I edit, was recently ranked the top API blog online by FeedSpot. After ten years managing this presence, I reflect a bit on the journey thus far.
Developers are realizing that being productive with AI coding assistants takes a lot more than just asking nicely. There's real craft to it.
AI coding is the easy part. Now it's time to focus on DevOps to get it into production. In a recent interview for LeadDev's DirectorPlus, Honeycomb's CTO, Charity Majors, shares expert tips on how to accomplish this.
My latest for The New Stack explores new research from Ai2, DataDecide, which helps LLM developers make better decisions around training data.
My APISEC|CON talk covers the hype around agentic AI and MCP, and delves into inherent flaws in MCP architectures and suggests mitigations.
AI coding assistants are a productivity dream in some cases — and a debugging nightmare in others. So, where’s the line?
Semantic caching is like typical caching, but for AI. It could eliminate a lot of redundant API calls to LLMs, reducing costs and improving performance.
For CIO.com, leading executives shared with me how they're actively utilizing agentic AI to enhance core business workflows.
