BumbleBee: Or How I Learned To Stop Worrying And Love eBPF - Krisztian Fekete
summary
Bumblebee packages precompiled eBPF programs as OCI-compatible containers so you can build, push and run kernel probes without writing a separate userland loader; it supports hashmap and ring buffer maps today (perf-buffer tools require migration) and can autogenerate Prometheus metrics. Workflow demos show taking BCC/libpf examples, compiling them ahead-of-time, running in a browser-provisioned Kubernetes lab, and shipping an OOM-catching example (~15 C lines) that reliably finds invisible OOM events. Roadmap adds tighter Kubernetes integration, more map types, logging and histograms.
