Summary: eBPF-based Network Observability for CloudStack
Key: GSOC-292
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GSOC-292
Project: Comdev GSOC
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: Daan
CloudStack’s network monitoring is mostly based on logs and external agents,
making real-time traffic analysis difficult. This project will integrate
*eBPF-based network observability* to capture per-VM traffic metrics, detect
anomalies, and improve tenant isolation.
h2. Benefits to CloudStack
* {*}Enhanced security{*}: Detect suspicious activity at the kernel level.
* {*}Real-time traffic monitoring{*}: Gain deep insights into VM networking.
* {*}Better tenant isolation{*}: Identify cross-tenant traffic issues.
h2. Deliverables
* Develop eBPF probes to capture:
** Per-VM network traffic metrics (packets, bytes, latency)
** Connection tracking for detecting unauthorized access patterns
** Packet drops and retransmission rates
* Expose network metrics via CloudStack’s API.
* Provide visualization through Prometheus/Grafana.
* Document setup, usage, and performance benchmarks.
h2. Expected Outcome
An eBPF-based solution that improves network observability in CloudStack,
providing security and performance insights with minimal resource usage.
