Hello, dear community,

Join us for a fantastic evening of knowledge sharing, networking, and gaining insights from experts in the field. This time we've got an extra special treat for you at our upcoming Kubernetes MeetUp in Frankfurt! **We have our surprise guest Liz Rice, Chief Open Source Officer at Isovalent** giving a talk about Cilium and eBPF and answering all your questions.

Our mission is to promote the exchange of knowledge about Kubernetes in Frankfurt and provide newcomers with a first glimpse into this widely adopted technology.

Here's what you can look forward to:

**Networking:** 18:00 - 18:30 *(Delicious pizza with a pint of cold beer)*

***

**Speaker:** [Philip Welz](https://www.linkedin.com/in/philip-welz/) & [Nico Meisenzahl](https://www.linkedin.com/in/nicomeisenzahl/?originalSubdomain=de), white duck

**Time:** 18:30 - 19:00
**Language:** English

**Topic:** Next-Level Kubernetes Networking with Cilium

Philip and Nico will dive into the world of Kubernetes networking with Cilium. Cilium is renowned for enhancing networking and security in Kubernetes, but this open-source project, powered by eBPF, has so much more to offer!
After covering the fundamentals of Cilium, Philip and Nico will delve into advanced features like multi-cluster networking with Cluster Mesh, Cilium's very own Service Mesh implementation complete with Ingress support, and the future of Kubernetes Ingress Routing with the Gateway API. They'll also showcase real-world examples of how Cilium can optimize your network, service, and security observability using Hubble, Cilium's dedicated networking and security observability platform. Don't miss this session if you're eager to elevate your Kubernetes networking with Cilium.

\*\*\*

**Networking Break:** 19:00 - 19:30

**Special Guest Speaker: [Liz Rice](https://www.linkedin.com/in/lizrice/),** Isovalent

**Time:** 19:30 - 20:00
**Language:** English

**Topic:** Cloud Native Superpowers with eBPF

And the big surprise of the evening is our special guest speaker, Liz Rice! Liz will introduce you to the world of eBPF, a kernel technology that underpins a new generation of cloud-native infrastructure tools. Liz's talk will include live demonstrations showcasing the immense power of eBPF and insights into how it serves as the foundation for several CNCF projects such as Cilium, Pixie, and Inspektor Gadget. Whether you're tasked with debugging applications, improving network performance, securing deployments, or more, this talk will demonstrate how eBPF-based tools can help without the need to modify, reconfigure, or even restart applications. By the end of this session, you'll have a solid grasp of how eBPF enables high-performance tools to connect, manage, and secure applications in the cloud, even if you're not a Linux kernel aficionado.

\*\*\*

**AMA (Ask Me Anything with Liz Rice) & Networking:** 20:00 - 21:00

\*\*\*

Don't miss this opportunity to boost your understanding of Kubernetes, Cilium, and eBPF.

See you there!

# *Liz Rice, Chief Open Source Officer, Isovalent*

My background and core competence is systems software engineering, but I love the whole process of building products. I've been in startups that have succeeded and others that have failed. I enjoy writing code, and understanding how other people will use it.

I'm Chief Open Source Officer with eBPF pioneers [Isovalent](http://isovalent.com/), creators of the [Cilium](http://cilium.io/) project, which provides cloud native networking, observability and security. I'm a member of the [Open UK](http://openuk.uk/) Board, and of the[ CNCF's Governing Board](https://www.cncf.io/people/governing-board/). I was chair of the [CNCF's Technical Oversight Committee](https://www.cncf.io/people/technical-oversight-committee/) 2019-2022, and I co-chaired the KubeCon / CloudNativeCon 2018 events in Copenhagen, Shanghai and Seattle.
