No More Blue Fridays

Read Original

This article analyzes the major July 2024 global Windows outage (Blue Fridays) caused by a faulty kernel driver update from a security company. It explains how eBPF, a secure kernel execution environment, provides immunity from such crashes by running code in a verified sandbox, preventing it from crashing the entire kernel, and discusses its adoption on Linux and future Windows systems.
