Executing Ebpf In Github Actions
Blog post from Keploy
Keploy sought to integrate its tool into the GitHub pipeline to ensure safe merging and deployment of pull requests by utilizing eBPF for network call monitoring, a process requiring sudo capabilities. GitHub does provide limited sudo privileges in its runners, allowing eBPF to attach to kernel hooks like kprobes without needing full root or cgroup configuration access. This enables passive network tracing and testing during pull requests, facilitating the auto-generation of test cases and mocks without modifying application code. Despite challenges such as the inability to edit cgroups in GitHub-hosted runners, Keploy successfully demonstrated that deep network tracing can be incorporated into CI/CD workflows through custom bash scripts and YAML-defined workflows. The implementation revealed that while GitHub and GitLab allow such operations, Bitbucket does not, prompting the need for custom runners for specific architectures like ARM64.
