Network X-Ray Vision: eBPF for Cloud-Native Observability
summary
eBPF runs small verified programs in the Linux kernel to capture continuous event‑driven network and syscall data at microsecond resolution and feed real‑time anomaly detection and automated responses. A financial services deployment reports 70% faster troubleshooting, 85% of network issues auto‑remedied, and over $200,000 annual savings from optimizing cross‑zone traffic; observability replaces sampling with kernel‑level traces, builds live service topologies, and uncovers undocumented dependencies for targeted fixes.
