Making eBPF work on Windows 

eBPF is a well-known but revolutionary technology—providing programmability, extensibility, and agility. eBPF has been applied to use cases such as denial-of-service protection and observability. Over time, a significant ecosystem of tools, products, and experience has been built up around eBPF. Although support for eBPF was first implemented in the Linux kernel, there has been increasing...Read more
