Announcing the Sysdig Cloud-Native Visibility + Security Platform 2.0
Today we’re announcing version 2.0 of the Sysdig Cloud-Native Visibility + Security platform. It provides a more powerful and significantly simpler way for enterprises to see the health, risk, and performance of their cloud-native environments in a single unified view.
The era of multi-cluster multi-cloud Kubernetes has arrived!
Today Google announced Anthos, a new cloud service with the ability to manage Kubernetes clusters across multiple cloud providers, including AWS and Azure. This is super exciting news for Rancher. In Google Anthos, we see great alignment with Rancher’s vision. We believe Kubernetes will become the standardized infrastructure provided by all public and private clouds, and an enterprise Kubernetes platform must deliver multi-cluster, multi-cloud management.

What Your Kubernetes Security Checklist Might Be Missing
New technologies often require changes in security practices. What is remarkable about containers and Kubernetes, is that they also provide the potential for enhancing and improve existing security practices. In this post, I will share a model that we use at Nirmata to help customers understand security concerns and plan Kubernetes implementations that are secure.
Native Kubernetes Monitoring, Part 2: Scaling and Life Cycle Management
This article is a follow up to Native Kubernetes Monitoring, Part One. In this chapter we’ll finish the two remaining demos for the other built-in tools, Probes and Horizontal Pod Autoscaler (HPA).
Key metrics for Amazon EKS monitoring
Amazon Elastic Container Service for Kubernetes, or Amazon EKS, is a hosted Kubernetes platform that is managed by AWS. Put another way, EKS is Kubernetes-as-a-service, with AWS hosting and managing the infrastructure needed to make your cluster highly available across multiple availability zones. EKS is distinct from Amazon Elastic Container Service (ECS), which is Amazon’s proprietary container orchestration service for running and managing Docker containers.
Tools for collecting Amazon EKS metrics
In Part 1 of this series, we looked at key metrics for tracking the performance and health of your EKS cluster. Recall that these EKS metrics fall into three general categories: Kubernetes cluster state metrics, resource metrics (at the node and container level), and AWS service metrics. In this post, we will go over methods for accessing these categories of metrics, broken down by where they are generated.
