A Beginner's Guide to eBPF Programming for Networking

Explore the world of eBPF programming for networking in this 30-minute conference talk by Liz Rice from Isovalent. Dive into live-coding examples that demonstrate how eBPF programs are loaded, run in the kernel, and attached to various networking-related events. Learn about kprobes, XDP, traffic control, and ping response examples, as well as eBPF's application in Kubernetes. Discover the advantages of this powerful technology that enables running custom programs directly in the Linux kernel, providing superpowers for networking, observability, and security in the Cloud Native ecosystem. Gain insights into how eBPF programs can inspect and manipulate packets, forming the basis for sophisticated and high-performance networking tools.
