Deep dives into DevOps and Server Side topics where theory blends with hands-on examples. You can try out commands from each tutorial in the attached remote playground, either from the browser or via SSH access from your local terminal — no extra setup required.
Tutorials from outstanding independent authors proudly hosted by iximiuz Labs.
In this lab, you’ll build a NAT-based eBPF/XDP load balancer from scratch and implement both round-robin and weighted round-robin backend selection. Along the way, you’ll learn how to manage state in eBPF maps and distribute traffic across backends based on simple and capacity-aware scheduling strategies.
In this lab, you will extend the eBPF/XDP-based NAT load balancer implementation with the least-connections to a weighted least-connections algorithm that accounts for backend capacity.
This lab teaches you how to use eBPF socket acceleration to optimize a transparent Envoy proxy setup. You will implement mechanisms that bypass parts of the kernel networking stack to directly transfer data between sockets, improving throughput and reducing latency.
This lab shows how to use eBPF to transparently redirect inbound traffic through an Envoy proxy on the server side, without modifying the application or client. You’ll learn how eBPF can intercept and restore connections so the service remains unaware of the proxy in the network path.
