@rakyll eBPF in Microservices Observability Jaana Dogan Principal Engineer, AWS
[email protected]
@rakyll About me • Not a Linux developer. • Working
on monitoring, observability and performance. • Multi-tenancy and microservices focus.
@rakyll
@rakyll How does eBPF work? process JIT compiler Verifier Sockets
TCP/IP BPF Maps code (accessible from the user space)
@rakyll Where can eBPF hook into? - Kernel and user
functions - System calls - Network events - Kernel tracepoints
@rakyll Challenges in microservices
@rakyll Challenges in microservices We don’t just monitor VMs or
processes. We monitor critical paths.
@rakyll What’s next? service service database storage service

@rakyll Challenges in microservices Context matters. Downstream stack don’t have
context.

@rakyll Challenges in microservices First, we debug the path of
the request. We debug functions or syscalls secondarily.
@rakyll Challenges in microservices Too much data. Need runtime controls
to modify the collection.
@rakyll Challenges in microservices Instrumentation is a two-year roadmap. Data
is not consistent.
@rakyll Recap Out of the box instrumentation is critical. Networking
observability is essential. Extensibility in runtime is needed. Decoration and enrichment is needed.
@rakyll How does eBPF help?
@rakyll Network Diagnostics TCP, UDP, HTTP, gRPC metrics Inspect protocols
(MySQL, Postgres, ...)

@rakyll Service Maps
@rakyll Distributed Traces Automatically create trace span if a trace
header is present. Your job is to generate and propagate the header. GET /users HTTP/1.1 Host: users.service Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate Connection: Keep-Alive Traceparent: 00-4bf92f3577b34da6a3ce929d0e0e4736-00f067aa0ba902b7-01
@rakyll Continuous Profiling
@rakyll Extensibility
@rakyll Decorating with Context eBPF agent process JIT compiler Verifier
Sockets TCP/IP BPF Maps API Server
@rakyll Decorating with Context
@rakyll Several projects... - Cillium/Hubble - Pixie - Flowmill -
Prodfiler - Parca
@rakyll What’s next? - High level language? - More platforms
supporting eBPF? - Reusable eBPF event processors? - Signed programs?
@rakyll Thank you Jaana Dogan
