eBPF for Developers: Observability Without Overhead
eBPF (Extended Berkeley Packet Filter) is a revolutionary technology that allows executing sandboxed programs within the Linux kernel, providing unprecedented access to low-level system events with minimal performance impact.This talk explores the inner workings of eBPF and demonstrates how it can significantly improve observability, performance tuning, and security in real-world scenarios.Practical demonstrations using a Minikube environment compare eBPF-powered load balancers with traditional ones, highlighting the differences in throughput, latency, and packet visibility.The session covers tools like bpftrace, bcc, and libbpf,...
