Developers often find that their applications run flawlessly in local environments, with policies effectively detecting violations and logs being generated without issues. However, once deployed in a production Kubernetes cluster, unexpected problems arise. Events may be lost, duplicates can occur, and deduplication processes may fail due to a single script malfunctioning. This article delves into the real-world challenges faced during the integration of Tetragon and eBPF into a security product, highlighting how Kubernetes can disrupt naive assumptions about application behavior. By examining these issues, we aim to provide insights and solutions for developers navigating similar hurdles in their own deployments.
