In part 1 of this series, we discuss the rise of Kubernetes and Docker for containerization and container orchestration. I also shared some of the challenges these new technologies present and what sources of data we use to monitor Kubernetes. Part 2 dives into collecting Kubernetes data with Prometheus, plus the pros and cons of that approach. As promised in the conclusion of that post, I’ll address those cons — showing how Sensu and Prometheus form a complementary solution.

Twistlock is a platform for managing security and compliance within various environments, including virtual machines, containers, and serverless functions. Ensuring legal and technical security is just as valuable as preventing outages and errors, which is why Datadog is delighted to announce a new integration with Twistlock. With this integration, you can track security and compliance risks within the same platform as the metrics, traces, and logs you already collect with Datadog.

We’re happy to announce that forwarding your Aptible logs to LogDNA is much simpler than before. Aptible Enclave is a container orchestration platform built for developers that automates security best practices and controls needed for deploying and scaling Dockerized apps in regulated industries.

Today Enterprise IT does not question the value of containerized applications anymore. Given the move to adopting DevOps and cloud native architectures, it is critical to leverage container capabilities in order to enable digital transformation. Google’s Kubernetes (K8s), an open source container orchestration system, has become the de facto standard — and the key enabler — for cloud native applications, and the way they are architected, composed, deployed, and managed.
