Beyond the Hype - Cloud Native eBPF

Explore the potential of eBPF technology in cloud native environments through this 34-minute conference talk. Delve into the CO:RE (compile once-run everywhere) initiative and its implementation through libbpf. Learn how to combine eBPF with Go and Kubernetes for various applications, including security, observability, and performance tuning. Discover the mechanics behind libbpf's compile once-run everywhere capability, its integration with Go, and techniques for connecting low-level Kernel features to higher-level Kubernetes concepts like Pods. Gain practical insights through real-life examples demonstrating systematic performance measurement and improvement. The talk covers topics such as continuous profiling, profiling in Linux, building an eBPF profiler, simplifying eBPF, finding the C group, and provides concrete examples to illustrate these concepts.
