eBPF Host Routing Hits General Availability in Advanced Container Networking Services for AKS
Running high throughput or low latency distributed systems on Kubernetes often hits an unexpected bottleneck inside the Linux kernel network stack. Microsoft has officially announced the general availability of eBPF Host Routing within Advanced Container Networking Services (ACNS) for Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS). This release fundamentally transforms how network packets move between pods and nodes […]
