Posted on Wednesday, Jun 28, 2023
Show Notes
#217: Extended Berkeley Packet Filter, or eBPF, has been making waves in the tech industry over the past few years. It’s a technology that enables you to extend the functionality of the Linux kernel without having to write kernel modules. But what exactly is eBPF, and how does it impact our systems, networks, and security?
In this episode, we speak with Liz Rice, Chief Open Source Officer with Isovalent, about where eBPF started and why you may never write a line of (byte)code of eBPF yourself.
