platform and SRE engineers.
The sequence
- 1PDP-01 · Inside the Linux Kernel Network Stack Follow a single packet from the NIC driver to a socket and back, and say what happens at each step.
- 2PDP-03 · Container Networking, CNI and Cilium Build a CNI plugin by hand, then run a cluster network with eBPF-based policy, load balancing, and observability.
- 3CNT-01 · Advanced Kubernetes Networking and Service Mesh Design a service mesh, a multi-cluster network, and a GitOps workflow that holds up in production.
- 4OBS-02 · Cloud-Native Network Performance and Monitoring Find the bottleneck in a cluster network, measure it, and set an SLA you can keep.
- 5CNT-02 · Network Design for Hyperconverged Infrastructure Design the network for a hyperconverged rack: topology, storage traffic, automation, and high availability.
- 6PDP-02 · eBPF and XDP: Programmable Kernel Networking Write, verify, load, and debug eBPF programs, and build an XDP data plane that drops, redirects, and measures traffic.
