▐ Cilium is an open-source networking project that provides networking and security capabilities for containerized applications, microservices, and virtual machines.

Recently Cilium (https://docs.cilium.io/en/stable) launched a great website about eBPF called ebpf.io (https://ebpf.io/). It serves a similar purpose to this list, with an introduction to eBPF (https://ebpf.io/what-is-ebpf).
