The eBPF Handbook: Mastering Linux Kernel Observability, Networking, and Security

Rate this book
Unleash eBPF (extended Berkeley Packet Filter), the Linux kernel technology revolutionizing system insights. Run safe, programmable code directly in the kernel for unparalleled observability, networking, and security without reboots. eBPF empowers Kubernetes deployments, container security, low-latency networking, and real-time threat detection.

Authored by an experienced professional with deep expertise in deploying eBPF in high-scale production, this handbook distills years of practical knowledge and insights from the vibrant eBPF open-source community.

The eBPF Handbook is your comprehensive guide to understanding, building, and deploying eBPF applications. Master Linux kernel introspection, high-performance networking, and proactive security. Learn core eBPF architecture, BCC, bpftrace, and CO-RE. Explore cutting-edge uses with Cilium, Falco, and Tetragon. Discover user-space eBPF, AI/ML integration, and how to contribute to this evolving ecosystem.
