Observability Without Code Changes: The Promise of eBPF‑Native Architectures
There’s a problem with modern observability that almost nobody talks about openly: your monitoring stack might be hurting the systems it’s supposed to protect. I don’t mean in a theoretical sense. I mean that the agents and SDKs most teams rely on for visibility impose real overhead on the applications they instrument. CPU, memory, throughput. … continue reading
groundcover Brings AI-Native Observability to Production Analysis
SAN FRANCISCO — groundcover, the observability platform for modern architectures, today announced the general availability of groundcover AI Mode, a native AI capability designed to help engineering teams investigate production incidents and analyze infrastructure behavior directly inside their own cloud environments. AI Mode runs natively within the customer’s own AWS infrastructure via Amazon Bedrock, ensuring … continue reading
From TicketOps to GitOps: What programmability means for network operations
When server infrastructure underwent its transformation with the rise of containers and Kubernetes, it wasn’t just a technical shift — it was a shift in mindset. Static workloads maintained like fragile pets were replaced by disposable, declarative, policy-managed containers orchestrated at scale. Now, the same change is coming for the networking layer. For years, network … continue reading
eBPF has opened many doors for Linux, will continue to do so for many years
eBPF, the technology that enables the Linux kernel to more easily be changed, should be considered a great success, according to experts in the industry. Nearly 10 years after its initial release, the eBPF Foundation and the Linux Foundation teamed up to create a qualitative report that shows how far the technology has come. “Many … continue reading
ITOps Open-Source Project of the Week: Grafana Beyla
In an effort to simplify application observability adoption, Grafana introduces Grafana Beyla, an open-source eBPF auto-instrumentation tool currently in public preview. Beyla offers span information for fundamental transactions and RED metrics (Rate-Errors-Duration) for Linux HTTP/S and gRPC services, all without the need for manual code modifications to insert probes. eBPF, short for Extended Berkeley Packet … continue reading
