The production of this documentary is insane, telling a story simply via interviews makes this documentary so engaging, I can feel their excitement and passion, thanks for everything in this video.
One of the highest quality documentaries on a super deep and niche technical topic, enlightening not only regarding engineering aspects but also business and open source sociological aspects. Very well done! 👏
Whoa!! This is awesome guys! Tech stories that are told so beautifully are very few and far apart. Loved everything from the narration, interviews, music and the overall feel of the documentary! Well done you guys! Would love to see more such content!!
@@speakeasyproductions I'll back up the KVM suggestion, but I would also like stories about something like Docker - a really nice example of a technology that became ubiquitous, but "failed" as a company (for some definition of failed).
Great video! I love the part @ 8:12 when Daniel walks into Thomas’ office and talks about wanting to work on eBPF. While wearing an eBPF shirt 😂 Really interesting to see the origin story, this isn’t a view that don’t get into the “inner Linux circle” get to see that often.
"This is like putting Javascript into the Kernel" (13:39). To add more context to this comparison, while poorly written JavaScript can break a website, eBPF bytecode undergoes rigorous validation by the eBPF verifier to ensure its safety and prevent it from breaking the kernel. This makes eBPF a reliable tech for extending kernel functionality without compromising system stability.
Wow awesome video, did not know this collaboration brought such awesome features to the kernel. Also like the triple monitor setup that Dave Thaler is using (25:33)
@@speakeasyproductions 2 suggestions: Docker/containers (but this time would be good to include the Sun history as well, which is missing things like dtrace from this documentary) the other 'new hotness' in the Linux kernel would io_uring
@@speakeasyproductions I see your euh... friends (?) of honeypot already made one about Kubernetes. So I guess I don't need to ask for that anymore. I think Gitops/Flux/ArgoCD is also something to explore. I had been saying back in 2014, we need something (which I couldn't put into words yet) like what is now Gitops and it took the industry years to get there.
In additional to the other non-Linux implementations mentioned in this documentary, Solana also implements a global state machine with onchain programs compiled to eBPF.
I kind of love the politics of kernel development. This thing is great but we need to make it look like something old so they don't ask us too many questions.
First, features appear on top in the user space, then move down to the kernel space, and finally land in the silicon. That's why Brenden is working for Intel to harmonize processor with ebpf kernel stuff. And this is for better performance
Two ironies: 1 - the "server error" sound in the docu is from Windows OS. 2 - most open source folks use Apple Macs. One of the most closed ecosystems in the tech world. 🤦♂️
A 28.5 min documentary about some kernel programmers are congratulating themselves, and for around 1.5m there is a very high level discussion on what ebpf is, and why it might actually help. What I got from this: it's like Internet Explorer 6 running ActiveX executables right in the kernel. The security person inside me is screaming, how can this be a good thing, other than performance and visibility? I appreciate the production time and quality of this video, however the narrative tells me almost nothing of the appropriate application of eBPF.
User and Kernel space separation must vanish eventually. Making the kernel absolutely programmable shall do that. System calls MUST replace eBPF like bytecode, which are verified using Rust like semantic analysis.

Maybe KVM?
I agree! This was brilliant.

COOL!
A better analogy would be Python, because it is already pervasive in network engineering, infosec and DevOps in general.
Thanks for making and sharing this documentary, inspiring to see the people behind eBPF.
These people are like superstars to me - what a great idea, capturing this story this way. Love it! Thank you!
You guys are inspiring! Thak you!
I've recently found eBPF and I can't stop being amazed!
This documentary is incredible
Thank you so much for sharing the documentary!
Inspiring! Specially being a network engineer. I am gonna share this documentary with all my colleagues.

Our team really did enjoy this Documentary! keep it up.
Watched this completely, what an inspiring story it was.
I have to appreciate everyone who are involved in making this wonderful video.
Thanks! Lots of talented people made this happen 🙏
Thank you very much! It's very cool to know who is behind this masterpiece!
The documentary is amazing. I am on my way to understand what is eBPF to reverse engineer eBPF program. I feel so lucky to have watched this video ^-^
Wow,
Awesome story
And whoever made it exactly 30 mins should get a raise
Agreed! 😉
I finally got what eBPF is about.
Amazing production, kudo to eBPF teams.
Wow! This documentary is the best one I've watched this year.
Thank you!
This was very inspiring. I love that stories from the bowels of tech are getting an audience!
Nice! This really shows hardwork done by folks involved in this project.
such a well-made documentary. Great work guys
Great work, looking forward to go deeper into eBPF and the Kernel.
Excellent documentary. more of such content is required to be created on Tech community
So true. Tell us what you want to see a documentary about next

Wow fascinating. Good overview of eBPF considering I knew nothing about it. Saw a security tool that uses it and wanted to know what it was.

Very informative! Loved every second of it.
Great behind the scene 🙂
I was at Meta when this was taking off good stuff guys!!
I love this format! Could you do one for nmap? :)
"This is like putting Javascript into the kernel." - Brendan Gregg
I think JavaScript don't have enough features sense it more deeply bro...
😂 that is not the flex you think it is.
@@blaiseutubearen't you that person who is on twitch and full of shit?
Алексей Старовойтов, спасибо за крутой стафф!

Awesome.. well presented. Thanks for the hard work all.
Great documentary!
The way the Linux guy looks so 'stable' is on another level
Great documentary! Big thanks to everyone that had any effort in creation of eBPF.
Incredible documentary 🎉
This should be on Netflix ;)
Very high quality. I wish I could produce something like this haha.
this was great i eventually wanna learn more kernal stuff
"I posted my first patch but no one looked at it" - we all love open source.
Nice video!
What kind of programming is this called and how can I learn it? It's so cool.
Great guys,I want to work with them!
Nice video, THX.
Алексей Старовойтов просто гений !
Too little information and tutorial about ebpf found on TH-cam or other platforms😢
Thanks very much for the video!
Nice
Cillium is REALLY cool tech.
OMG .. Linux developers discovered what is in Solaris since Solaris 11 beta 😃
No, BSD have this from 1993, two decades until eBPF was created
before this video, i'm not aware that windows is also support ebpf now, hoping soon apple will support ebpf :)
Two ironies:
1 - the "server error" sound in the docu is from Windows OS.
2 - most open source folks use Apple Macs. One of the most closed ecosystems in the tech world.
🤦♂️
Re #2 - this is overrated. If using Macs wasn’t feasible for developers, no developer would use it. Simple as that.
Who noticed that Brended is wearing two watches a classic casio and one smart watch.

GO READ!!!!!!!
Ever person interviewed in this must make at least $400,000 a year.
This is a great story!
Why Brenden is wearing two watches 😅? Interesting.

Going for eBPF as security enthusiast...
Im really considering switching all my computers to linux.
I get it! eBPF can shrink my BPH!
great stuff.
