I wrote a guide recently on improving performance when running in #Kubernetes. It's focused on running #CockroachDB, but the advice is mostly broadly applicable for running other systems too. I'd love some feedback on it! cockroachlabs.com/docs/stable/ku…

The kernel community is about to replace iptables with BPF. I've captured my thoughts in a blog post. The performance gains speak for themselves. cilium.io/blog/2018/04/1…
