CreateContainerConfigError and CreateContainerError are two of the most prevalent Kubernetes errors found in cloud-native applications. CreateContainerConfigError is an error happening when the configuration specified for a container in a Pod is not correct or is missing a vital part. CreateContainerError is a problem happening at a later stage in the container creation flow. Kubernetes displays this error when it attempts to create the container in the Pod.

In a prior blog post, we discussed the basics of Kubernetes Limits and Requests: they serve an important role to manage resources in cloud environments. In another article in the series, we discussed the Out of Memory kills and CPU throttling that can affect your cluster. But, all in all, Limits and Requests are not silver bullets for CPU management and there are cases where other alternatives might be a better option.

Google Cloud provides its own set of metrics for monitoring applications, services, and instances. There are a huge number of metrics – more than 1,500 different ones just for GCP monitoring! While this is great, dealing with such a number can also be overwhelming. Filtering, pulling, exploring, and storing the metrics that you really need can be an enormously time-consuming task, and a big challenge.

What is the difference with similar tools? Detect graftcp with Falco Conclusion A new network open source tool called graftcp (GitHub page) has been discovered in everyday attacks by the Sysdig Threat Research Team (TRT). Nowadays, threat actors try to improve their techniques by using new tools (as we mentioned in the PRoot article) to enhance the compatibility of their code to hit as many targets as possible and hide their traces properly.

Nowadays, it is rather common to see companies adopt several monitoring solutions based on Prometheus, but this is not exempt from pain. A huge number of systems, applications, and third-party software are not instrumented to expose Prometheus metrics natively. Here is where Prometheus exporters come into play.

By kickstarting a monitoring project with Prometheus, you might realize that you get an initial set of out-of-the-box metrics with just Node Exporter and Kube State Metrics. But, this will only get you so far since you will just be performing black box monitoring. How can you go to the next level and observe what’s beyond? They are an essential part of the day-to-day monitoring of cloud-native systems, as they provide an additional dimension to the business and app level.

Prometheus is one the the most acclaimed solutions for Kubernetes monitoring. There are multiple add-ons and exporters that facilitate the task of pulling Kubernetes metrics. Sysdig Monitor is a cloud-native observability platform that helps businesses with the whole observability lifecycle. It provides simplicity at all times, allowing companies to rapidly pull their Kubernetes and Prometheus metrics without headaches.

Like CrashLoopBackoff, the ImagePullBackoff is not an error but a waiting status you might see in your kubernetes pods, with the backoff time increasing after every retry. The error itself is "ErrImagePull", and it happens when there are issues when pulling the container image to the kubernetes node. So how do you solve these pull errors? Take a look at our video to get some ideas on how to resolve the various issues!

What does it mean to build a container image? What are layers in docker images? How do you make sense of all the commands and instructions in a dockerfile? Why is it better to use slim base images vs full linux distros? In this video, we answer these questions, and more! While it's easy to create your container images from a dockerfile, there might be some technicalities hidden behind the tools that you need to understand.

Every company running its applications on the cloud needs to estimate its operating costs, but running workloads on Kubernetes clusters across multiple providers often makes it hard. Without Kubernetes context in the cloud billing reports, users aren’t able to group costs or effectively assign the resources to the proper cost center. To address these gaps in Kubernetes cost monitoring, we are excited to announce Cost Advisor, a new feature in Sysdig Monitor that will give you visibility into Kubernetes costs and automatically help you identify areas to reduce them.

Troubleshoot Kubernetes problems up to 10X faster. Want to know how? Let’s dig in! Kubernetes is really difficult to operate at scale. When organizations have a problem in Kubernetes they must use command line tools, dashboards, and logs to figure out what went wrong. It can take hours to inspect the situation and identify the root cause before you can take action. Problems like crashloopbackoff and pods pending errors can be especially frustrating since there are so many things that can cause those conditions.

A unified approach for security, monitoring, and forensics in containerized and microservice environments.

Sysdig is the first unified approach to monitor and secure containers across the entire software lifecycle.

Sysdig was born out of the belief that open source tools will be at the foundation of your next generation infrastructure. See our projects for system visibility, and container security, as well as partner projects we’ve embraced.

Accelerate your transition to containers, and then have confidence in your ongoing operations. We've built the cloud-native intelligence platform to create a single, more effective way to secure, monitor, and assure your critical applications:

  • Container security (Sysdig Secure): Protect and assure your applications. Bring together image scanning and run-time protection to identify vulnerabilities, block threats, enforce compliance, and audit activity across your microservices.
  • Enterprise-grade Docker monitoring (Sysdig Monitor): Enhance software reliability and accelerate problem resolution with advanced Kubernetes integration and built-in Prometheus monitoring capabilities.
  • Automatic orchestrator integration (Sysdig ServiceVision): We use Sysdig ServiceVision to dynamically map services using metadata from Kubernetes, OpenShift, AWS, Azure, Google, Mesos, or Docker EE, and more. With this insight, you can isolate and solve problems faster.

Our container intelligence platform monitors and secures millions of containers across hundreds of enterprises, including Fortune 500 companies and web-scale properties.
