Description
eBPF enables us to extend the kernel capabilities by executing custom programs without modifying the source code or adding modules. It offers visibility into network activity, resource utilization, and more. However, eBPF adoption has faced several challenges, mainly due to the perceived complexity associated with the kernel.
Fortunately, projects like Inspektor Gadget have emerged to help with this challenge. By providing a Docker-like experience and simplifying the development, build and deployment processes, Inspektor Gadget unlocks the full potential of eBPF within Linux systems, making it easier to utilize eBPF for data collection and system insights.
In this talk, Jose will provide a high-level introduction to eBPF and showcase some of the tools available for Ubuntu that leverage it. He will then demonstrate how to build and run your own eBPF program in Ubuntu using Inspektor Gadget, and finally, illustrate how easy it is to share your work with the community.
