Featured projects

The AGNTCY is an open source collective building the infrastructure for The Internet of Agents: an open, interoperable internet for agent to agent collaboration.

An umbrella project that provides various tools for Vault to make using Hashicorp Vault easier, including a wrapper for the official Vault client.

Integration of VPP, a fast userspace networking stack, as a dataplane for Calico.

An open source antivirus engine for detecting trojans, viruses, malware & other malicious threats.

eBPF-based Networking, Observability, Security--Cilium is an open source, cloud native solution for providing, securing, and observing network connectivity between workloads, fueled by the revolutionary Kernel technology eBPF.

An ecosystem around the Linux kernel capability to run sandboxed programs to safely and efficiently extend the capabilities of the kernel without requiring to change kernel source code or load kernel modules. The eBPF communities implement kernel technology, SDKs, and user space projects to dynamically program the kernel for efficient networking, observability, tracing, and security.

Relentlessly focused on data IO speed and efficiency for more flexible and scalable networks and storage.

It is an open source intrusion prevention system capable of real-time traffic analysis and packet logging.

eBPF-based Security Observability and Runtime Enforcement--Tetragon is a flexible Kubernetes-aware security observability and runtime enforcement tool that applies policy and filtering directly with eBPF, allowing for reduced observation overhead, tracking of any process, and real-time enforcement of policies.
