Aya - Extending the Linux Kernel with eBPF and Rust

Explore the intersection of Rust programming and Linux kernel extensions through eBPF technology in this insightful conference talk. Delve into the world of Aya, a Rust framework for writing eBPF programs, as Michal Rostecki demonstrates how to leverage Rust's safety features and performance benefits to enhance Linux kernel functionality. Learn about the principles of eBPF, its applications in system observability and networking, and gain practical knowledge on implementing kernel extensions using Rust and Aya. Discover the advantages of this approach over traditional kernel module development and understand how it can improve system security and performance.
