Into the hive of eBPF!
#1about 3 minutes
Understanding the origins and naming of eBPF
Learn how eBPF evolved from the classic Berkeley Packet Filter (BPF) and why the names are now used interchangeably in the Linux community.
#2about 4 minutes
Why extending the Linux kernel is traditionally difficult
The Linux kernel manages all system resources, and modifying it historically required either a lengthy core contribution process or maintaining unstable kernel modules.
#3about 4 minutes
Exploring the eBPF architecture and runtime flow
An eBPF program is compiled to bytecode, validated by a verifier for safety, and then JIT-compiled into native code that runs securely inside the kernel.
#4about 3 minutes
A live demo showing eBPF's continuous delivery capability
This simple Python demo illustrates how eBPF programs can be loaded and updated in a running kernel, highlighting benefits like security, efficiency, and continuous delivery.
#5about 5 minutes
Core components of an eBPF program
Discover the essential building blocks of eBPF, including event-driven hooks, key-value maps for state management, and helper functions for interacting with the kernel.
#6about 2 minutes
Practical use cases and libraries for eBPF development
Explore how eBPF is used for network optimization, security, tracing, and profiling, along with popular libraries for Go, Rust, and Python.
#7about 1 minute
Achieving portability with CORE and BTF
The 'Compile Once, Run Everywhere' (CORE) principle, enabled by BPF Type Format (BTF), solves the challenge of running eBPF programs across different kernel versions.
#8about 5 minutes
The eBPF ecosystem, tooling, and future trends
Review popular eBPF-based tools like Cilium and Katran, see how eBPF is changing the sidecar model, and look ahead to its future in hot-fixing and microkernels.
