- Kubernetes 1.31: Moving cgroup v1 Support into Maintenance Mode: making cgroup v2 (kernel 5.8+) a key requirement.
- Linux Kernel Version Requirements shows kernel requirements of Kubernetes features
- eBPF and Modern Networking and observibility

This talk will provide a detailed look at the kernel version requirements for Kubernetes, with a focus on evolving trends in AI infrastructure, SIG-Node, and SIG-Network. We will explore how different kernel versions influence Kubernetes cluster operations, especially in the areas of network performance, resource management, and security enhancements. This session will also highlight some of the rising star projects in the cloud-native ecosystem, including Cilium, Falco, Pyroscope, Kepler and DeepFlow.

Key Topics:
- AI Infrastructure(device related)
- Kubernetes SIG-Node(cgroup)
- Kubernetes SIG-Network(nftables)
- eBPF-based Projects requirements
- Is kernel version checked enough?
- Dependencies/Ecosystem Maintenance
