Explore how eBPF (extended Berkeley Packet Filter) revolutionizes Linux kernel tooling in this 42-minute conference talk from DevConf.IN 2026. Learn about the eBPF paradigm as the kernel's safe, sandboxed virtual machine and discover its key components that provide unprecedented access to kernel functions and data while maintaining safety and high performance. Dive into two major practical use cases: implementing security enhancements through granular, real-time security policies with custom system call blocking and filtering mechanisms that sandbox processes directly within the kernel, and optimizing performance by analyzing common system bottlenecks such as memory latency and inefficient I/O using eBPF programs attached to kernel probes for deep, low-overhead observability. Gain insights into eBPF's minimal performance footprint and develop a framework for applying this powerful technology to address your own performance and security requirements in modern applications.
