eBPF (extended Berkeley Packet Filter) is a technology that allows programs to run in a sandboxed virtual machine within the Linux kernel without changing kernel source code or loading kernel modules. It enables high-performance networking, security monitoring, observability, and tracing capabilities at the operating system level with minimal overhead. eBPF is governed as a standard by the eBPF Foundation under the Linux Foundation.
