eBPF is a Linux kernel technology enabling safe, programmable instrumentation of system behavior without modifying application code — widely used for high-fidelity observability and security telemetry.
Key Points
- 2026-08-04: oligo-security $60M raise expands eBPF deep-application-inspection and runtime-exploit-blocking (2026-08-04-oligo-security-60m-runtime-exploit-blocking)
- Core of groundcover’s unsampled, no-instrumentation sensor model (2026-07-30-groundcover-100m-series-c)
- Often paired with opentelemetry for vendor-neutral telemetry export
- Enables byoc observability architectures that keep data in customer cloud
