F5 BIG-IP eBPF Observability for cloud-native applications
F5 BIG-IP eBPF Observability extends BIG-IP Cloud-Native Edition with real-time, kernel-level visibility into Kubernetes traffic, without sidecars or application-level instrumentation.
Visibility into cloud-native traffic at the source
F5 BIG-IP eBPF Observability (EOB) extends BIG-IP Cloud-Native Edition with real-time visibility into traffic across hybrid multicloud environments. By capturing telemetry directly from the Linux kernel, F5 EOB on BIG-IP Cloud-native edition helps platform, security, and operations teams understand application behavior, troubleshoot issues faster, and gain deeper insight into Kubernetes and distributed environments, without sidecars or application-level instrumentation.
Kubernetes traffic visibility
Gain real-time visibility into Kubernetes traffic with telemetry insights from the Linux kernel, revealing how applications communicate across clusters and services without sidecars or application-level instrumentation.
Faster application troubleshooting
Troubleshoot application issues faster by observing on-the-wire traffic, latency, and errors across cloud-native environments in real time.
Enhanced security insight
Detect abnormal traffic patterns and unexpected behaviors by observing encrypted and unencrypted traffic flows at the kernel level.
Service-to-service visibility
Understand service-to-service communication across Kubernetes clusters and distributed environments without deploying sidecars.
Simplified observability operations
Reduce operational overhead by eliminating the need for application instrumentation while still gaining deep, real-time traffic visibility.
