Monitoring ECS with Datadog

As we explained in Part 1, it’s important to monitor task status and resource use at the level of ECS constructs like clusters and services, while also paying attention to what’s taking place within each host or container. In this post, we’ll show you how Datadog can help you: Automatically collect metrics from every layer of your ECS deployment, Track data from your ECS cluster, plus its hosts and running services in dashboards, and more.

How to Monitor GKE with LogicMonitor

Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) is a managed Kubernetes service that makes it possible to run Kubernetes clusters without managing the underlying infrastructure. With GKE, DevOps teams can scale and deploy applications faster with Kubernetes, while spending less time on cluster maintenance and configuration. Obtaining enough insight into GKE is key to proactively preventing downtime and maximizing application performance.

Deploying a Kubernetes Cluster with Amazon EKS

There’s no denying it — Kubernetes has become the de-facto industry standard for container orchestration. In 2018, AWS, Oracle, Microsoft, VMware and Pivotal all joined the CNCF as part of jumping on the Kubernetes bandwagon. This adoption by enterprise giants is coupled by a meteoric rise in usage and popularity. Yet despite all of this, the simple truth is that Kubernetes is hard.

How Enterprise Kubernetes Benefits from Multi-Cluster Apps

There is a lot to love about Kubernetes. It offers one of the best ways to deploy and run applications on a large pool of resources. With its easy-to-use UI and out-of-the-box capabilities like RBAC, monitoring, auditing, logging, and more, Rancher makes it easy to stand up and manage enterprise grade Kubernetes. Using Rancher, IT Operators can point to their cloud provider (AWS, GCP, Azure, etc.) or datacenter and create a cluster with just a few clicks.

February 2019 Online Meetup: Multi Cluster Applications, Global DNS, and Multi Tenant Catalogs

Rancher 2.2 focuses on day two operations for Kubernetes, the ongoing management tasks that secure clusters, reduce downtime, and keep applications secure. For edge deployments and businesses that run multi-tenant clusters or multiple installations of the same application, Rancher 2.2 Preview 2 introduces features that lighten the workload of operations team, helping to eliminate redundant work and human error. It includes tools for increasing the availability of multi-cluster applications and new options for configuring application catalogs at the cluster and project levels.

New Tigera Secure Enterprise 2.3 Anomaly Detection Deepens Visibility into Suspicious Kubernetes Activities

Tigera is excited to announce several new capabilities with Tigera Secure Enterprise Edition 2.3, extending the ability to uncover sophisticated Kubernetes attacks.

Kubernetes Master Class: Getting Your Hands 'Dirty' in Container Sandbox

This session of the Kubernetes Master Class Series addresses the proliferation of "sandboxing" techniques to isolate containers and improve their security posture. We'll provide a short background on the rise of "sandboxing" technology in the global security space and will drill down into different container "sandboxing" technologies and projects.
