- 4Hacker News·7/28/2026researchHow to Profile eBPF Code
The article shows a simple benchmarking approach for measuring the overhead of an eBPF file-open hook using a minimal C test harness. It also explains how to configure perf and kernel settings so BPF JIT symbols can be resolved, making it easier to analyze hotspots in the eBPF program.
- 5The New Stack·7/17/2026framework_updateLessons from running Kubernetes controllers at scale
The article explains how Kubernetes controllers turn declarative intent into enforced state, and why that becomes harder at large scale when caches lag, objects churn, and correctness depends on a full system view. It focuses on two Amazon EKS controllers: the Network Policy Controller for in-cluster traffic enforcement and the VPC Resource Controller for assigning AWS security groups to selected pods.
