A Practical tour of eBPF in the Linux Kernel: Observability, Security and Networking.

eBPF lets you run small, verified programs inside the Linux kernel, enabling fast observability, security, and networking without changing application code. This practical tour explains why eBPF matters now, how programs are compiled, verified, JITed, and attached to events, and how maps and ring buffers move data. You'll leave with simple demos and a clear mental model to start experimenting.
