Books on eBPF

eBPF is a very new topic so there aren’t a lot of books, but take a look at:

• Upcoming Linux Observability with BPF by Lorenzo Fontana, David Calavera
• Upcoming BPF Performance Tools by Brendan Gregg, reviewers editors include Dale Hamel

Both are or will be visible on Safari soon, so you can make an account with O’Reilly to read electronic editios of them before they are available in print.
