The Problem
Deploy lightweight eBPF-powered agents on hosts and gateways to auto-discover services, build a real-time infrastructure graph, and create a vendor-neutral control plane that stitches on-prem, multi-c

Must-Have Features for MVP
Auto-discovery of services and dependencies
Unified service registry and virtual namespace
Policy translator (SGs, ACLs, routes) with dry-run simulator
Cross-cloud traffic steering with identity-aware routing
Drift detection and one-click rollback
Audit trails and least-privilege policy suggestions
⚠️ Potential Challenges
- Kernel/OS compatibility for eBPF on older hosts
- Change management and security approvals
- Agent rollout at scale
- Accurate policy translation across providers
Risk Level: Moderate
🎯 Keys to Success
- Time to first global service discovery (<1 day)
- Reduction in VPN/point-to-point tunnels
- MTTR reduction for routing/security incidents
- Policy error rate post-change
- Operator adoption and daily active users in the console
