The rate at which vulnerabilities are being exploited is on the rise. The VulnCheck company, which specializes in vulnerability intelligence, found that in Q1 2025, 28.3% of vulnerabilities were exploited within 1 day of CVE disclosure. Keeping your systems up to date is more important than ever. The reality is that many security teams are running scans and then exporting to giant spreadsheets, which are “tossed over the wall” to the Operations team with little context.

Earlier this year, Grafana Labs donated Grafana Beyla — our open source eBPF-based, zero-code instrumentation tool — to OpenTelemetry under the new project name OpenTelemetry eBPF Instrumentation. In addition to reflecting our deep and long-standing commitment to the OpenTelemetry project, the donation marked a significant milestone in the evolution of zero-code eBPF instrumentation within the open source community at large.

How many times has your team stared at a dashboard, pointed to a spike, and asked a question that charts alone can’t answer? “What was the real impact of that deployment?” “Why are our Kubernetes pods in the us-east-1 cluster suddenly crashing?” “Are we wasting money on overprovisioned servers?” Answering these questions is the real work of operations and SRE.

However, they face a dual mandate: provide a great developer experience and manage the ever-growing costs and complexity of the tools involved.
