BPF for Linux Monitoring

The BPF virtual machine is one of the most important components of the Linux kernel. Its proper use will allow system engineers to find failures and solve even the most complex problems.
You will learn to create programs that monitor and... modify kernel behavior, safely inject code for observing events in the kernel, and much more.
David Calavera and Lorenzo Fontana will help you unlock the potential of BPF. Expand your knowledge of performance optimization, networking, and security.
- Use BPF to track and modify the behavior of the Linux kernel.
- Inject code for safe event monitoring in the kernel - without the need to recompile the kernel or reboot the system.
- Use convenient code examples in C, Go, or Python.
- Take control by mastering the lifecycle of the BPF program.
