In this episode, we dive into Inspektor Gadget, a CNCF project that simplifies deploying and managing eBPF probes. With Inspektor Gadget, you get powerful observability without needing expertise in C programming or kernel internals. This episode is perfect for platform engineers, SREs, and observability professionals. Here's what we cover
- Inspektor Gadget's Architecture: Learn how the tool is built and fits into your workflows.
- Deploying Gadgets: Explore deployment methods using the CLI, manifests, or ConfigMaps.
- Generating OpenTelemetry Logs and Metrics: See how to create observability data with eBPF probes.
- Customizing Gadgets: Use instance parameters to filter and adjust gadget functions for tailored results.
- Advanced Features: Discover capabilities like generating network policies and seccomp profiles with the "advise" feature.
We compare Inspektor Gadget to tools like BCC and Bumblebee, highlighting its advantages. We also explore how it improves Kubernetes observability and security in cloud-native environments.
