Welcome to another edition of What’s New in Sysdig in 2022! The “What’s new in Sysdig” blog is now under my control! Hello, I’m Wes MacKay, a Sales Engineer based out of Dallas, TX working with the Sysdig US West Corporate team. I’m way too passionate about containerization, personal cloud storage, and automating my home life. In my spare time, I’m always looking for better Thai and Sushi restaurants in my area.

One of the best things about Kubernetes is just how absurdly flexible it is. You, as an admin, can shape what gets deployed into what is the best for your business. Whether this is a basic webapp with just a deployment, service and ingress; or if you need all sorts of features with sidecars and network policies wrapping the serverless service-mesh platform of the day. The power is there.

On May 11th, at Intel Vision, Densify won Intel Partner of the year for Software Innovation. This award recognizes the impact of our jointly developed offering: Intel Cloud Optimizer (ICO). <="" a=""> Working with Intel we launched a program for enterprise customers that combines Densify analytics software and Intel expert guidance to help match customer workloads with the cloud instances that enable the best performance at the lowest possible cost.

A container is an isolated unit of software running on top of an operating system. Containers are getting popular among startups because containerized applications are portable, have built-in scalability and fault tolerance, are more secure, and promote faster development cycles. That’s why startups prefer containers for new application development to gain a business advantage over competitors who are still using VMs for application deployment and packaging.
