Zero-instrumentation observability based on eBPF

This talk addresses the importance of observability in infrastructure, highlighting the challenges of integrating instrumentation for effective system monitoring. It explores using eBPF to gather telemetry data—metrics, logs, and traces—and track container activities like network calls and filesystem operations, focusing on using this data for efficient troubleshooting.

Observability is critical to any infrastructure as it enables teams to identify and address issues promptly. Nevertheless, achieving system observability comes with its own set of challenges. It is a time - and resource-intensive process as it necessitates the incorporation of instrumentation into every application.In this talk, we will delve into the gathering of telemetry data, including metrics, logs, and traces, using eBPF. We will explore tracking various container activities, such as network calls and filesystem operations. Additionally, we will discuss the effective utilization of this telemetry data for troubleshooting.
