Migrating from DPDK to AF_XDP for High-Performance Networking in Kubernetes

Migrating from DPDK to AF_XDP for High-Performance Networking in Kubernetes

Explore a conference talk that delves into the migration from DPDK to AF_XDP for high-performance networking in Kubernetes. Learn how to leverage eBPF, XDP, and AF_XDP to transition existing DPDK applications without modification. Discover the challenges of managing eBPF programs in a networking context and how to deploy and manage these applications in Kubernetes using bpfman. Gain insights into striking an optimal balance between performance and key attributes such as manageability, flexibility, portability, and observability in cloud-native high-performance packet processing frameworks. Understand the potential of this evolution to unlock new possibilities for networking applications in cloud environments.
