Getting Started with eBPF Made Easy - Qasim Sarfraz & Michael Friese

This talk explores eBPF, a powerful technology used for troubleshooting, observability, and security, recognized for its efficiency and performance in data collection and system inspection. The speakers introduce Inspektor Gadget, a framework designed to simplify eBPF development by streamlining the bootstrapping process and enabling seamless deployment across clusters via OCI images. They also discuss the use of WASM for post-processing, providing developers the flexibility to utilize programming languages like Rust and Golang. Michael Friese and Qasim Sarfraz, both experienced in cloud-native technologies and contributors to Inspektor Gadget, lead the session, sharing insights to help overcome the complexities of working with eBPF.
