Overview

Modern infrastructure runs too fast and too complex for traditional monitoring and security tools to keep up. Cloud-native workloads, microservices, and high-speed networks demand visibility and control from inside the kernel itself. That's exactly where eBPF changes the game. eBPF Observability & Security: Inside-the-Kernel Tools for Modern Infrastructure is your complete, production-grade guide to harnessing eBPF for real-time observability, network control, and zero-overhead security. Written for engineers, SREs, DevOps professionals, and security teams, this book walks you step-by-step from fundamentals to advanced, real-world deployments. You'll learn how to: Capture deep system and network telemetry with bcc, bpftrace, and libbpf. Build and extend high-performance eBPF programs in C for production workloads. Deploy eBPF-powered platforms like Cilium, Hubble, and Pixie in Kubernetes and cloud environments. Monitor microservices, secure workloads, and enforce network policies without proxies or agents. Use XDP for ultra-low-latency packet processing and DDoS mitigation at the NIC level. Integrate eBPF telemetry into SIEM and SOAR pipelines for automated security response. Manage overhead, update safely, and operationalize eBPF in multi-cluster, enterprise-scale deployments. With detailed code examples, ready-to-use scripts, Kubernetes YAML templates, and policy definitions, this book doesn't just explain eBPF - it equips you to deploy it in live production with confidence. If you've ever wanted to connect a latency spike directly to a security event, trace a database call without touching code, or block an attack before it reaches the application layer, eBPF is the tool. This book is your blueprint. Whether you're building observability pipelines, securing containers, or optimizing packet flows, eBPF Observability & Security will help you unlock the kernel's full potential and transform the way you monitor, troubleshoot, and defend your infrastructure.
