Zero instrumentation observability on GKE with groundcover
November 18, 9am PST
Most observability talks start with “add this SDK to your app.” This one starts in the Linux kernel.
In this session, we'll cover:
- What eBPF is, and how it fills the gaps OpenTelemetry leaves by adding kernel-level context your instrumentation never sees
- What the groundcover eBPF sensor shows about a running Kubernetes app without changing its code. It installs on any cluster, GKE included.
- A live walkthrough: starting from a real SLO breach, using agent mode and the Cursor connector to trace the problem to its source and open a pull request that fixes it
