Beyond the network: Next-generation security and observability with eBPF
eBPF is becoming a sort of ‘lingua franca’ within the kernel. With eBPF, we can safely collect information from deep within applications, wherever they interact with the kernel.
In this session, Shaun Crampton (Tigera) explains how eBPF allows for insights into the behavior and security of the system without needing every process to be instrumented manually. Watch the recording to learn about:
- Observability and security pre-eBPF
- eBPF – Introduction, impact on observability, and impact on security
- How eBPF enables a richer picture of what’s going on in your cluster, without changing your applications
