	Description:		eBPF is a kernel technology enabling high-performance, low overhead tools for networking, security and observability. In simpler terms: eBPF makes the kernel programmable! Tune in to this episode whether you have never heard about eBPF, using eBPF based tools such as bcc, Cillium, Falco, Tetragon, Inspector Gadget ... or whether you are developing your own eBPF programs! Liz Rice, Chief Open Source Officer at Isovalent, kicks this episode off with a brief introduction of eBPF, explains how it works, which use cases it has enabled and why eBPF can truly give you super powers! In our conversation we dive deeper into the performance aspects of eBPF: how and why tools like Cillium outperforms classical network load balancers, how performance engineers can use it and how the Kernel internally handles eBPF extecutions. We discussed a lot of follow up material - here are all the relevant links: Liz's slide deck on "Unleashing the kernel with eBPF": https://speakerdeck.com/lizrice/unleashing-the-kernel-with-ebpf eBPF Documentary on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wb_vD3XZYOA Learning eBPF GitHub repo accompanying her book: https://github.com/lizrice/learning-ebpf eBPF website: https://epbf.io Liz on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lizrice/
