Lessons Learned Migrating to Modern Multi-Platform eBPF Programs

Watch a technical conference talk exploring the migration process of eBPF probes in the Kepler project from BCC to ahead-of-time compilation. Learn how the team leveraged modern eBPF features, the cilium/ebpf Go library, and bpf2go to create multi-platform probes for the Kubernetes-based Efficient Power Level Exporter (Kepler). Discover practical insights into using eBPF for power consumption monitoring in Linux environments, where metrics gathered from the kernel feed into machine learning models to estimate power usage across processes, VMs, and Pods. Gain valuable strategies and best practices for modernizing existing eBPF programs while understanding the technical challenges and solutions encountered during the migration process.
