Fundamentals for eBPF Workshop with Certification Option (AEST time zone event)

eBPF (Extended Berkeley Packet Filter) is a revolutionary technology with origins in the Linux kernel that can run sandboxed programs in an operating system kernel. It is used to safely and efficiently extend the capabilities of the kernel without requiring to change kernel source code or load kernel modules.

BumbleBee is a new open source project which helps to build, run, and distribute eBPF programs using OCI (Open Container Initiative) images, allowing you to focus on writing eBPF code while taking care of the user space components, automatically exposing your data as metrics or logs.

In this workshop, we're introducing eBPF and the different ways to create eBPF programs. You will be able to create your first eBPF program using BCC and libbpf to have a better understanding of the main concepts. We’ll also take you through several labs to build and deploy an eBPF program with BumbleBee. Along the way, you’ll deploy Prometheus and a web application on Kubernetes to display all the communications happening in the Kubernetes cluster. In this workshop, you will:

• Learn about eBPF and the different ways to create eBPF programs
• Create your first eBPF program using BCC and libbpf to have a better understanding of the main concepts
• Build and deploy an eBPF program with BumbleBee
• Deploy Prometheus and a web application on Kubernetes to display all the communications happening in the Kubernetes cluster

This workshop also includes a certification option. This credential, offered by Solo.io with Credly, certifies that you possess the essential skills to create an eBPF program using BCC and libbpf, build and deploy an eBPF program with BumbleBee. At the completion of the workshop, you will be able to take an assessment and a score 80% or higher earns the certification.
