What is eBPF?

What is eBPF - and why should you care?

eBPF is a revolutionary technology in the
Linux kernel that can run sandboxed programs in a
privileged context of the operating system kernel.

eBPF enables the reprogrammability of the Linux kernel
without requiring changes to kernel source code or loading a kernel module!

In this short brief, get the gist of what is eBPF, why to use it, and what the foundation behind means for the long term project.
