Role- and device-based security provide a consistent level of access, while policy-based routing intelligently routes cloud traffic, eliminating the need to direct all traffic through the data center for inspection. This improves performance while ensuring policies are applied universally, regardless of location.

When evaluating solutions, whether to internal problems or those of our customers, I like to keep the core metrics fairly simple: will this reduce costs, increase performance, or improve the network’s reliability? If a solution is cheap, it is probably not very performant or particularly reliable. Costs Redundancy isn’t cheap.

Since the kernel is basically the software layer between the applications you’re running and the underlying hardware, eBPF operates just about as close as you can get to the line-rate activity of a host. This is a simple example, but eBPF bytecode can perform much more complex operations. First, eBPF is fast and performant.
