Libcgroup abstraction layer
The adoption of cgroup v2 is on the rise, with a majority of Linux distributions now making it the default choice. Older long-term-stable releases that initially defaulted to cgroup v1 are gradually phasing out in favor of the newer version. To facilitate this transition for enterprise applications, a libcgroup abstraction layer has been introduced.
To learn how the abstraction layer of libcgroup can help, read the blog post.
Introduction to Netfilter
Dive into the depths of Linux networking as we explore the dynamic world of netfilter hooks in this blog post.
Netfilter is a subsystem that provides a framework for implementing advanced network functionalities such as packet filtering, network address translation (NAT), and connection tracking. The netfilter framework provides a powerful mechanism for intercepting and manipulating network packets in the Linux kernel, where the code can register functions to be invoked for specific network events.
