Red Hat Developer

Red Hat has integrated eBPF across its product portfolio since its introduction in RHEL 7. Today, RHEL 10 keeps the eBPF subsystem synchronized with upstream, while RHEL 9 receives critical backports. Key products leveraging eBPF include OpenShift's network observability and ingress node firewall operators, the Advanced Cluster Security operator, bpfman, Kepler, Performance Co-Pilot, systemd, and NetworkManager. RHEL ships several eBPF development tools: libbpf, bpftrace, BCC, and xdp-tools. A note clarifies that RHEL kernel version numbers don't reflect upstream versioning, so release notes must be consulted to determine supported eBPF features.
