Debug Your Clusters with eBPF-Powered Tools - Mauricio Vásquez Bernal, Microsoft

The intrinsic distributed architecture of applications running in Kubernetes makes them difficult to debug. When there is a problem, it is not clear where to start looking at or even which tools to use. Many of the traditional troubleshooting tools are designed to be used at the host and process level, i.e., they have to run on the same host where the application is running, and they usually only allow to filter by things like process PID or UID. In this presentation, we will introduce Inspektor Gadget. We’ll explain why this project was created and its goals. We’ll show the architecture and then we’ll make some demonstrations of how we can use it to debug issues with networking, storage and configuration of Kubernetes resources and applications.
