Keynote: eBPF - Everything You Need to Know in 5 Minutes
summary
eBPF is a programming language and runtime that extends operating systems, with bytecode verified then JIT-compiled for safety and speed using clang/LLVM toolchains. Meta uses project Katran exclusively for production load balancing, all three cloud providers deploy Cilium in GKE/AKS/EKS, and Android runs eBPF for per-app traffic and CPU/GPU accounting. Open-source pieces include Cilium, Tetragon and Hubble, and Grafana + Isovalent integrate Hubble into Loki/Tempo for observability and tracing without sidecars.
