To develop eBPF programs, a Linux-based operating system with a kernel version of at least 3.18 is required. However, to fully utilize all available eBPF features and improvements, it is recommended to use a more recent kernel version.

To begin developing eBPF programs, you will need the following.

Software Requirements

  • Linux OS - You can have linux as a

    • Primary OS
    • Virtual Machine
    • WSL virtualization

  • Clang and LLVM - compilers

  • libbpf - ABI’s

    Provides helper functions to interact with kernel information.

  • bpftool

  • perf

Prerequisities

  • Having prior knowledge about Linux commands, system calls, and networking can greatly facilitate the development phase.
  • Basic understand of C and GO programming languages is recommended to develop eBPF programs, as eBPF programs are typically written in these languages.
