DOP 178: Kubernetes Observability Using EBPF
Posted on Wednesday, Sep 28, 2022
Show Notes
#178: Observability has been around since the dawn of computing. Around 1992, BPF was introduced. It gave us the ability to do network packet filtering. Around 22 years later in 2014, eBPF was included in Linux kernel 3.18, building on top of what was available with BPF. Now in 2022, eBPF is helping to supercharge Kubernetes observability.
In this episode, we speak with Shahar Azulay, CEO and Co-Founder of groundcover, about how eBPF is changing how we monitor our Kubernetes clusters in five minutes or less.
