## Welcome to bpfman



bpfman operates as an eBPF manager, focusing on simplifying the deployment and administration of eBPF programs. Its notable features encompass:



- **System Overview**: Provides insights into how eBPF is utilized in your system.

- **eBPF Program Loader**: Includes a built-in program loader that supports program cooperation for XDP and TC programs, as well as deployment of eBPF programs from OCI images.

- **eBPF Filesystem Management**: Manages the eBPF filesystem, facilitating the deployment of eBPF applications without requiring additional privileges.



Our program loader and eBPF filesystem manager ensure the secure deployment of eBPF applications.

Furthermore, bpfman includes a Kubernetes operator, extending these capabilities to Kubernetes.

This allows users to confidently deploy eBPF through custom resource definitions across nodes in a cluster.



Here are some links to help in your bpfman journey (all links are from the bpfman website ):



- [Welcome to bpfman](https://bpfman.io/) for overview of bpfman.

- [Quick Start](https://bpfman.io/main/quick-start) for a quick installation of bpfman without having to download or

  build the code from source.

  Good for just getting familiar with bpfman and playing around with it.

- [Deploying Example eBPF Programs On Local Host](https://bpfman.io/main/getting-started/example-bpf-local/)

  for some examples of running `bpfman` on local host and using the CLI to install

  eBPF programs on the host.

- [Deploying Example eBPF Programs On Kubernetes](https://bpfman.io/main/getting-started/example-bpf-k8s/)

  for some examples of deploying eBPF programs through `bpfman` in a Kubernetes deployment.

- [Setup and Building bpfman](https://bpfman.io/main/getting-started/building-bpfman/) for instructions

  on setting up your development environment and building bpfman.

- [Example eBPF Programs](https://bpfman.io/main/getting-started/example-bpf/) for some

  examples of eBPF programs written in Go, interacting with `bpfman`.

- [Deploying the bpfman-operator](https://bpfman.io/main/getting-started/develop-operator/) for details on launching

  bpfman in a Kubernetes cluster.
