From PIDs to Pods: The Life Cycle of an eBPF-Autoinstrumented Application

Wednesday, 30 October, 2024 - 11:0011:40 GMT

Marc Tudurí, Grafana Labs

Abstract: 

eBPF allows to attach programs in the Linux Kernel and inspect the runtime memory of the Kernel and user programs at runtime. Join us in this session to discover how Grafana Beyla works, our eBPF-based instrumentation tool, and how is a Kubernetes a first-class citizen. We will describe how we match the low-level abstractions from eBPF with the Kubernetes metadata, allowing Kubernetes users to have out-of-the box observability for their running applications.
