This technology basically allows programs – such as security, monitoring, and networking tasks – to be run at the kernel level, typically with a Linux kernel but also with Windows, in a sandbox, as opposed to using kernel modules and extensions.
eBPF is used by Facebook and Google to Adobe and Capital One to manage infrastructure, perform encryption, and more. Technical analysis, and an exampl ..
