Integrating Calico statistics with Prometheus

Metrics are important for a microservices application running on Kubernetes because they provide visibility into the health and performance of the application. This visibility can be used to troubleshoot problems, optimize the application, and ensure that it is meeting its SLAs. Some of the challenges that metrics solve for microservices applications running on Kubernetes include: Calico is the most adopted technology for Kubernetes networking and security.

Managing Kubernetes Log Data at Scale | Civo Navigate NA 2023

In this talk by Matt Miller from Edge Deltas, we delve into the world of managing Kubernetes log data at a significant scale. Matt breaks down different strategies for handling log data, including Kubernetes native tools, persistent storage, open-source log collection, and using centralized log vendors. He explores the benefits and drawbacks of each approach, particularly focusing on the challenges of scalability and cost when dealing with large volumes of data. Matt also shares insights on how to optimize data management using an intelligent edge-first approach.

Container Security Fundamentals - Linux Namespaces (Part 4): The User Namespace

In this video we continue our examination of Linux namespaces by looking at some details of how the user namespace can be used to de-couple the user ID inside a container from the user ID on the host, allowing a container to run as the root user without the risks of being root on the host. To learn more, read our blog on Datadog’s Security Labs site.

Restarting Kubernetes Pods: A Detailed Guide

This blog will help you learn all about restarting Kubernetes pods and give you some tips on troubleshooting issues you may encounter. Kubernetes pods are one of the most commonly used Kubernetes resources. Since all of your applications running on your cluster live in a pod, the sooner you learn all about pods, the better.

The talk emphasizes the challenges faced by developers and administrators while adopting GitOps practices and outlines various scalable strategies and best practices to address these. It presents a variety of patterns, tools, and tactics to manage configuration as code, contributing to improved system stability, team collaboration, and delivery speed.

Kubernetes Liveness Probe Guide

Kubernetes liveness probes are a critical component for monitoring the health and availability of application containers running within a Kubernetes cluster. They allow Kubernetes to determine whether a container is running as expected and take appropriate actions if it is found to be unresponsive or in an unhealthy state. Liveness probes periodically check the health of containers by sending requests to a specified endpoint or executing a command within the container.
