Getting Start with Aya: Building eBPF Programs in Rust

I’ve learned the basics of Rust and the fundamentals of eBPF. Now I want to go deeper into both, and it felt natural to explore them together through a practical project. That’s why I decided to study Aya, a Rust library for eBPF, and follow its learning materials while building a small eBPF project of my own.

I’ll skip most of the general Rust background (package management, syntax, and ecosystem), as I plan to cover that in a separate post. Here, I’ll focus on the questions and interesting points that come up while working with Aya.
