Tailscale running on UEFI on AWS EC2. No kernel. No OS. (Tamago)
Had to port AWS ENA drivers to Go (from FreeBSD, DPDK, Amazon spec)
Also fun: it's using UEFI variables as its ipn.StateStore, so you can reboot the instance and it's still logged in.
This was a PITA even with AI.

I am building a sandcastle. Of epic proportions.
It’s a super fragile Linux aarch64 ELF executor on M* Mac.
It started as a joke ”how hard can it be?“.
Now it can do “apt-get update“, compile DPDK and VPP and run the latter and pass the tests.
i know it’s at most an art item but can’t stop.

The thing I was really working toward is now out: packetio.
One Go API for DPDK, AF_XDP, mlx5 Direct Verbs, and AF_PACKET. Swap the backend, while keeping the packet processing code🤓

Hi! @ Comcast, we built an NLB centered on SRv6 centered on service hunting (influenced by www.thomasclausen.net/wp-content/u...). It leveraged DPDK (using a framework we built in Rust circa 2018-19 called Capsule, based on NetBricks) @ the NLBs & eBPF at where the services were located.
