I found this article interesting (in fact, posted it earlier, but it didn't get traction then). I think some context is needed: When you operate at eBPF/kernel level you don't get easy direct access to the higher level goodies, like various container metadata (other than perhaps the cgroup id/name). So with eBPF you extract various numbers and IDs and then use userspace code+services to retrieve the meaningful (human-readable) context and strings using these IDs.
A plain Linux example would be that eBPF will only give you user/group IDs (uid/gid), not usernames, so you need to use post-processing in userspace code to convert these IDs into something meaningful.

Thanks for giving the context.
