On this episode, We deep dive into Inspektor Gadget, a powerful framework for data collection and system inspection on Kubernetes clusters and Linux hosts using eBPF. It allows users to build and package eBPF programs into OCI images called Gadgets, target Kubernetes clusters and Linux hosts, collect and export data, and automatically enrich kernel data with high-level resources like Kubernetes and container runtimes, among other features. Additionally, it supports WebAssembly (WASM) modules to post-process data and customize IG operators using any WASM-supported language.
