In particular, Cisco has elevated the use of Isovalent’s core container communications technology, Kubernetes-native networking and security platform eBPF (extended Berkeley Packet Filter). - eBPF is an open-source [Linux operating-system kernel technology](https://www.networkworld.com/article/3518212/why-ebpf-is-critical-and-how-its-getting-better.html) that lets programs run securely in a sandbox within the kernel of the OS. This allows customers to incorporate security, observability and networking features quickly and easily without requiring them to modify kernel source code or deal with network overlays or other tedious programming tasks. The technology’s open-source development occurs under the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) and includes industry input and support from Google, Microsoft, Red Hat, Intel and others. - The customer deploys the Isovalent Load Balancer control plane via automation and configures the desired number of virtual load-balancer appliances, Graf said. “The control plane automatically deploys virtual load-balancing appliances via the virtualization or Kubernetes platform. The load-balancing layer is self-healing and supports auto-scaling, which means that I can replace unhealthy instances and scale out as needed. The load balancer supports powerful L3-L7 load balancing with enterprise capabilities,” he said. - “In the future, the Isovalent Load Balancer will also be able to run on top of Cisco Nexus smart switches,” Graf said. “This means that the Isovalent Load Balancer can run in any environment, from data center, public cloud, to Kubernetes while providing a consistent load-balancing layer with a frictionless cloud-native developer experience.” - “Load balancing is a crucial requirement for customers that are looking to shift their virtualization stack to a new virtualization platform. For example, from [VMware to Nutanix](https://www.networkworld.com/article/2511265/nutanix-hunts-disgruntled-vmware-customers.html) or from VMware to OpenShift virtualization,” Graf said. - Isovalent’s technology is also part of [Cisco’s Hypershield](https://www.networkworld.com/article/2093421/cisco-marries-ai-and-security-with-cloud-based-data-center-offering.html) platform, which supports automated microsegmentation, distributed exploit protection and zone-firewalling based on smart switches all controlled using a single control plane that can span infrastructure from data center, cloud, to modern Kubernetes environments, Graf said. <br> ## Words and Idioms - eBPF (extended Berkeley Packet Filter) - Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) <br> # References [Cisco capitalizes on Isovalent buy, unveils new load balancer \| Network World](https://www.networkworld.com/article/4007717/cisco-capitalizes-on-isovalent-buy-unveils-new-load-balancer.html) <br> # Links [[_MOC_2_English]] <br> # Tags #english #study #cisco #loadbalancer #network #vendor <br> # Aliases #영어 #공부 #시스코 #네트워크 #벤더 <br>
