Companion repository for the O'Reilly book 'Learning eBPF' by Liz Rice, containing example eBPF programs in C and BCC for each book chapter. It also provides a Lima VM configuration with pre-installed dependencies for building and running the examples.
Use cases
- learn eBPF programming from scratch
- run example eBPF programs on Linux
- set up a VM environment for eBPF development
- understand how eBPF bytecode is generated from C source
- explore XDP and bpf() system call examples
- study eBPF for observability, networking, and security
When to choose
- you are reading or following the Learning eBPF book
- you want hands-on, chapter-by-chapter eBPF examples
- you need a ready-made Linux VM configured for eBPF tooling
When to avoid
- you need production-ready eBPF tooling rather than educational examples
- you are not on Linux and don't want to use a Lima VM
- you want a comprehensive eBPF framework or library
