eBPF and WebAssembly for Lightweight Observability in Kubernetes

Explore the powerful combination of eBPF and WebAssembly (Wasm) for lightweight observability in cloud-native environments in this conference talk. Learn how to overcome the limitations of traditional eBPF deployments by leveraging Wasm as a lightweight alternative to containers in Kubernetes clusters. Discover the eBPF plugin from the WasmEdge community, a CNCF sandbox project, which enables lightweight WasmEdge sandboxes to deploy and control eBPF applications in Kubernetes clusters. Gain insights into the mechanisms behind the eBPF plugin in WasmEdge, developer APIs, and tools for building eBPF applications. Understand how this innovative approach enhances network traffic management and observation in service clusters while maintaining the lightweight benefits of eBPF.
