The following diagram illustrates the architecture of this project and related components:Īs shown in the diagram, existing eBPF toolchains such as clang can be used to generate eBPF bytecode from source code in various languages.

We are announcing this now while the project is still relatively early in development because our goal is to work in collaboration with the robust eBPF community to make sure that eBPF works great on Windows, and everywhere else. Building on the work of others, this project takes several existing eBPF open source projects and adds the “glue” to make them run on Windows. The ebpf-for-windows project aims to allow developers to use familiar eBPF toolchains and application programming interfaces (APIs) on top of existing versions of Windows.
#Linux os on windows windows 10
Today we are excited to announce a new Microsoft open source project to make eBPF work on Windows 10 and Windows Server 2016 and later. Although support for eBPF was first implemented in the Linux kernel, there has been increasing interest in allowing eBPF to be used on other operating systems and also to extend user-mode services and daemons in addition to just the kernel. Over time, a significant ecosystem of tools, products, and experience has been built up around eBPF.

eBPF has been applied to use cases such as denial-of-service protection and observability. EBPF is a well-known but revolutionary technology-providing programmability, extensibility, and agility.
