Podcast: How eBPF Empowers Developers to Observe Inside the Linux Kernel in a Safe and Unintrusive Way (opens in new tab)

Dan Fineran explores how eBPF has evolved far beyond its roots in packet filtering into a robust, safe way to extend the Linux kernel. He explains how the eBPF "verifier", the security guardrail, enables implementation of deep observability and networking without the risks of traditional kernel modules or the slow upstreaming process.
