Making eBPF work on Windows (Microsoft Open Source Blog)

The Microsoft Open Source Blog takesa look at implementing eBPF support in Windows. "Although support for eBPF was first implemented in the Linux kernel, there has been increasing interest in allowing eBPF to be used on other operating systems and also to extend user-mode services and daemons in addition to just the kernel.Today we are excited to announce a new Microsoft open source project tomake eBPF work on Windows 10 and Windows Server 2016 and later. The ebpf-for-windows project aims to allow developers to use familiar eBPF toolchains and application programming interfaces (APIs) on top of existing versions of Windows. Building on the work of others, this project takes several existing eBPF open source projects and adds the glue" to make them run on Windows."
