Fireside chat with Liz Rice on her upcoming O’Reilly book: Learning eBPF

In this fireside chat:

Following the O’Reilly report “What is eBPF”, written by Liz Rice, Isovalent now brings you an in-depth O’Reilly book that enables learning eBPF. This book not only helps with a primer on the importance of eBPF but also helps you run your first eBPF program using a “Hello World” application.

We discussed: 

  • The importance of eBPF in enabling a new generation of highly-performant networking, observability and security tools and instrumenting an app with these eBPF-based tools to eliminate app modification or reconfiguration.
  • Run your own Hello World application using the BCC (BPF Compiler Collection) framework and write basic eBPF programs.
  • Anatomy of an eBPF program including the stages that an eBPF program goes through on its journey from source code to execution.
  • Evolution of eBPF’s use in security from low-level checks on system calls, to sophisticated security policy checks, in-kernel event filtering, and runtime enforcement.
