eBPF - Unlocking Innovation in the Linux Kernel

Explore the revolutionary potential of eBPF technology in this keynote presentation delivered by Daniel Borkmann, Distinguished Software Engineer at Isovalent at Cisco and co-creator of both eBPF and Cilium. Discover how eBPF is transforming the Linux kernel by enabling safe, efficient, and programmable kernel extensions without requiring kernel modifications or reboots. Learn about the innovative applications of eBPF across networking, security, observability, and performance monitoring, and understand how this technology is unlocking new possibilities for developers and system administrators. Gain insights from one of the technology's original creators on the current state of eBPF, its impact on the open source ecosystem, and future directions for kernel innovation. This presentation provides valuable perspectives on how eBPF is reshaping system programming and enabling unprecedented flexibility in kernel-level operations.
