Even though Cisco acquires them, I believe this is not going to be a "RIP" story — Cilium is a graduated CNCF project, adopted by all major cloud providers, used by many fortune 100 companies, and have a rich/diverse contributors community. Plus the team at Isovalent is super strong, and eBPF powerhouse, they are going to continue working on Cilium, Tetragon, and other eBPF projects. And they've build a strong and vibrant OSS community. Cisco did a really smart and strategic move to lead a modernization of networking and security.

I agree. The team at Isovalent is extraordinary and should continue to be strong champions of BPF for network and security use cases. With Cisco footing the bill, I think we will see even more expansion into XDP traffic processing that is native to hardware vs. the current overlay model.

First Splunk, now Isovalent. Cisco has been busy this year!

That won’t stop a bunch of them from being laid off like what happened during the Splunk acquisition.

Those products are at very different maturity points, wrt to continued commercial adoption, aka revenue gen.

I am a network engineer and have worked with Cisco stuff since the 90s.

You underestimate Cisco's ability to fuck up acquired companies. The entire point is for Cisco to fuck it up by raising prices and entrapping customers to the point where competitors and alternatives will be created where none existed before. It's Cisco's nature and there is more than two decades of history of them doing it.

What if all products are good? How does one stand out?

From a social good perspective, if they're all good your product shouldn't stand out.

The argument here isn't that ads aren't good for the business doing the advertising, it's that they're bad for the community at large.

doesn't have to be, they could sustain losses and count it as a marketing expense.

American and European competition laws are very different.

In the United States - the thing that gets close attention is any attempt to coordinate to increase prices, even if that results in increased competition.

Decreasing prices to reduce competition gets a pass over here.

Thanks! What way would you like to edit and work with YAML?

If you are interested about the tool, I’m happy to answer any questions.

This is awesome thanks. I've already learned some things. Any plans on making the text editor not read only?

Yes, YAML editor functionality is there, just disabled as it needs a little bit more work. Now you can upload existing policies if you created them manually.

the parent literally typed that they used to do just this, didn't have to anymore thanks to Simple, and didn't want to go back.

I'm also a bummed Simple customer and they made it so easy to set up buckets for literally anything with zero overhead, which encouraged a ton of saving from me.

How long have you been a customer? Do you feel it's changed your habits to the point where you wouldn't need to rely on software to save (other than spreadsheets)? (I totally understand your point about the "zero overhead" - that is really appealing)

Not the person you're asking, but I've been a Simple user since 2016.

When I started, I was diligenty using the savings goals. I had a goal for a car, a house down payment, cell phone upgrade, etc.

Eventually as my account and goals grew, I found it to be stupid to leave so much uninvested. I just kept a mental note to keep my balance at around $15-20k, transferred everything else to my brokerage.

day 2 to recap - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24944042

Cilium 1.8 brings with it a trove of exciting new features:

- XDP Load Balancing Support: eXpress Data Path (XDP) is the fast-lane for networking in the Linux kernel, built on eBPF. We've extended our existing eBPF kube-proxy replacement to accelerate service forwarding by 5x in our tests while dramatically reducing CPU consumption at the same time.

- Cluster-wide Flow API: Hubble Relay builds on the solid core of Hubble and Cilium to provide deep observability across the entire cluster via a centralized API with minimal overhead.

- Better policy visibility and control: ClusterwideNetworkPolicy now supports matching hosts in the cluster to implement Host network security protection, and all policy types gain named ports support. New community contributors have built eBPF notifications for Policy Verdicts and a Policy Audit mode to incrementally deploy network policies in your cluster.

- Performance optimizations across the board: We've improved the performance and resource usage in almost every dimension in this release, from improving CRD scalability and optimizing the Cilium agent's memory footprint to various performance enhancements in our eBPF data path and size reduction of the Cilium container image. Hubble has been optimized to minimize resource usage by embedding the core functionality into the Cilium agent.

- Making more functionality iptables-free: We've worked hard on improving Cilium's service implementations to further reduce the dependence on external tools based on iptables. Several features are now implemented natively in eBPF, ranging from Session Affinity and HostPort to IP masquerade agent and IP fragmentation support. (More details) Many more features: Native Azure IPAM provides better integration for Azure Cloud via a new IPAM plugin, datapath load balancing support was extended to support environments with multiple native devices, and initial support for ARM64 has been added with docker image snapshots.

That's called the Red Cross.

I believe Zoom was made free for K-12 now, so at least for video conferencing this could be used, maybe in combination with Slack.
