GRPC Observability with eBPF on Kubernetes

Explore the cutting-edge world of Kubernetes observability in this 26-minute conference talk from KubeCon + CloudNativeCon Europe 2023. Delve into the revolutionary potential of eBPF technology for monitoring gRPC, the widely-used protocol for inter-container communication. Discover why traditional monitoring methods fall short for compressed or encrypted protocols like gRPC, and learn how eBPF's unique capabilities can overcome these challenges. Witness a live demonstration of an eBPF-based solution for monitoring gRPC libraries across multiple programming languages, including Python, C++, C#, and PHP. Gain insights into the integration of this technology with the Pixie CNCF project, paving the way for more comprehensive and effortless observability in Kubernetes environments. Leave equipped with practical knowledge and tools to implement advanced monitoring techniques in your own projects, bringing you one step closer to achieving full observability in the cloud-native ecosystem.
