Discover eBPF - By using it

eBPF

This course takes you on an exploratory journey in how eBPF is revolutionary. You ll discover how it works by using it and you will build up a mental model as you progress through real-life problems from performance over observability to security. The course is as non-technical as a course on eBPF can possibly be.

About This Course

eBPF studied networking at Berkeley, graduated with high performance in security and is currently overseeing various probes throughout the kernel. In this tutorial, eBPF wants to show off its own maturity to you: several grown-up open-source projects team up on this playful hunt for signals. They will help each other understand how all these applications are behaving 🫆 and what s hiding in the 🔐 traffic, ....

... cause nobody can hide from the kernel 🕵.

And if you watch carefully, you'll find out how our little wunderkind is doing it ... one step at a time

How to Author Courses on iximiuz Labs

Instead of providing a subpar online editing experience, iximiuz Labs offers a helper CLI tool called labctl, allowing you to use your favorite text editor (or a full-featured IDE) to write content from the comfort of your local machine.

Install labctl CLI

curl -sf https://labs.iximiuz.com/cli/install.sh | sh

This will download and install the latest version of the labctl CLI. You only need to do this once per workstation.

Authorize labctl

labctl auth login

This will open a browser window asking you to authorize labctl to access your account. You need to do it after a fresh install of labctl and repeat it whenever the auth session expires.

Pull course content

labctl content pull course discoverebpf-0d7c6c54

This will create a local copy of the course content in a directory named discoverebpf-0d7c6c54. You only need to do this once per course.

Stream your changes

labctl content push -fw course discoverebpf-0d7c6c54

Run this command in a separate terminal to continuously upload your changes to the server while editing the course in your favorite text editor or IDE.

You can also use labctl to create, list, and delete your content. Learn more about the available commands: labctl content --help
