Kick off your understanding of eBPF with this enlightening discussion from "Nerding Out with Viktor," featuring Liz Rice. Liz answers the fundamental question: What is eBPF and why should it matter to you? Starting with its origins as the Extended Berkeley Packet Filter, Liz explains how eBPF has evolved far beyond simple packet filtering. Discover how eBPF allows for dynamic programming of the kernel, impacting nearly every system interaction with hardware. This powerful tool enables changes in kernel behavior on the fly, enhancing both the flexibility and capability of operating systems in handling complex tasks and security measures.
