Container Escape Telemetry, Part 1: Isolation Primitives and the eBPF Observability Model
Before you can detect a container escape, you need to understand what's being escaped. This post covers the Linux isolation primitives that containers rely on, why they break, and how eBPF-based security tools observe those breakdowns at the kernel level.
This is Part 1 of the container escape telemetry series. The series overview has the project goals, key findings, and reading guide. If you’re already comfortable with namespaces, cgroups, capabilities, and how eBPF ring buffers work, skip ahead to Part 2: Methodology and Tool Architecture.
