Modern engineering teams collect more telemetry than ever, yet getting meaningful visibility into production can still require extensive application instrumentation.

In this episode of DevOps Academy Deep Dive, we explore how eBPF is changing observability by providing deeper visibility into running systems without requiring developers to modify every application.

We discuss where eBPF fits alongside traditional instrumentation and OpenTelemetry, how it can help uncover service dependencies and performance problems, and why automatic observability doesn't mean collecting everything. The conversation also looks at continuous profiling, Kubernetes environments, AI-assisted troubleshooting, security, privacy, and the limits of zero-code instrumentation.
