eBPF is a powerful technology with use cases spanning troubleshooting, observability, and security. Its efficiency and performance make it the default choice for data collection and system inspection.

However, getting started with eBPF is challenging due to the lack of orchestration, packaging, and readily available frameworks or boilerplate code. Many developers face a steep learning curve, as writing and deploying eBPF programs requires deep system knowledge and custom tooling.

In this talk, we dive deep into Inspektor Gadget, a framework that simplifies eBPF development by streamlining the bootstrapping process. We'll explore how it enables seamless deployment across cluster by packaging eBPF programs as OCI images. Finally, we'll discuss how it leverages WASM for post-processing, allowing developers to use languages like Rust and Golang.
