Explore the differences between eBPF and Istio/Envoy for monitoring microservice interactions in this 57-minute webinar presented by the Cloud Native Computing Foundation. Gain insights into the challenges of tracking interactions between numerous microservices in Kubernetes-based distributed applications. Compare the benefits and drawbacks of service meshes using proxies like Envoy with passive traffic monitoring via eBPF. Learn about the types of visibility offered by each approach, their performance impacts, and how they can be deployed complementarily. Presenters Roko Kruze and Jonathan Perry from Flowmill discuss topics including service mesh benefits, monitoring metrics, network and application layer visibility, CPU utilization, and eBPF tradeoffs. The webinar also covers important considerations such as TLS encryption, code changes, kernel support, and root cause detection. Gain valuable insights into choosing the right monitoring approach for your microservices architecture.
