eBPF has revolutionized the observability landscape in the Linux kernel. Throughout our previous blog post series, I covered the fundamental building blocks of the eBPF ecosystem, scratched the surface of

XDP or Express Data Path arises due to the pressing need for high-performance packet processing in the Linux kernel. Several kernel bypass techniques (DPDK being the most prominent one) aim to accelerate network

By Chris Tozzi If you google “DevOps tools,” you’ll see a dizzying litany of software applications, all promising to simplify your life as a DevOps engineer. This can be an

By Eric Bruno One of the unintended side-effects of the public cloud is the enablement of a platform-agnostic cloud architecture. This means that it’s now easier than ever to mix

In the previous three parts of our OpenTracing series, we provided an Overview of OpenTracing, explaining what OpenTracing is and does, how it works and what it aims to achieve,

In part one of the OpenTracing blog series, we provided a good OpenTracing overview, explaining what OpenTracing is and does, how it works and what it aims to achieve. One of the key

Recent Linux kernel releases are equipped with a powerful Linux monitoring framework for kernel instrumentation. It has its roots in what historically was approached as BPF. What is BPF? BPF (Berkeley

In the previous two parts of OpenTracing series, we provided a good OpenTracing overview, explaining what OpenTracing is and does, how it works and what it aims to achieve and looked at Zipkin - a popular open-source

In this second part of OpenTracing 5 part series, we'll dive into the fundamental building blocks that underpin the inner workings of any OpenTracing-compatible tracer. As we already mentioned, OpenTracing

What was traditionally known as just Monitoring has clearly been going through a renaissance over the last few years. The industry as a whole is finally moving away from having Monitoring

This is a guest post by Nedim Šabić, developer of Fibratus, a tool for exploration and tracing of the Windows kernel.  Unlike Linux / UNIX environments which provide a plethora of open
