The CNCF’s KubeCon North America 2020 is the premier event for adopters and technologists to learn about and work with the Kubernetes community—and it’s coming up in just a few days. With so much to do and learn within a short period of time, it can be challenging to know where to focus your time. Now that we’re living in an age of all-virtual conferences, that challenge has only increased.
Amazon CloudFront is a content delivery network (CDN) that minimizes latency by caching your content on AWS edge locations around the world. With CloudFront real-time logging, you can understand how efficiently CloudFront is distributing your content and responding to requests. You can collect CloudFront real-time logs in Datadog—in addition to CloudFront metrics—to get deep visibility into the health and performance of your CloudFront distribution.
DNS is a critical component of your infrastructure, enabling your services to reach the endpoints they rely on and connecting your users to your web applications from anywhere in the world. In order to keep your DNS healthy and performant, you need complete visibility into both internal and external DNS resolution. Datadog is excited to announce new DNS monitoring features that help you troubleshoot DNS end-to-end, so you can ensure your applications’ performance and availability.
Your application’s health depends on the performance of its underlying infrastructure. Unexpectedly heavy processes can deprive your services of the resources they need to run reliably and efficiently, and prevent other workloads from executing. If one of your applications is triggering a high CPU or RSS memory utilization alert, the issue has likely occurred before.
Snowflake is a cloud-native data platform that enables users to easily store, manage, analyze, and share high volumes of structured and semi-structured data. Whereas traditional data architectures often consist of multiple databases, data warehouses, and data lakes, Snowflake breaks down the silos between your different data sources and serves as a single source of truth for a wide range of simultaneous workloads.
Sleuth is a deployment tracking tool that gives you a deeper level of insight into your CI/CD workflows by tracking all of your team’s deployment tools from a single dashboard. Sleuth integrates with different components of your deployment pipeline and develops an understanding of your development processes. It can then automatically alert you as to when code is shipping, when manual approvals are needed, and when failures occur.
Amazon Route 53 provides DNS and traffic routing services for cloud applications. You can use Route 53 to define multiple routing policies to send requests to a variety of endpoints, and configure DNS health checks to re-route traffic for failover, ensuring high availability of your services.
Serverless architectures remove the need to provision and maintain infrastructure components like servers and containers, so developers can focus on writing and deploying code. However, serverless architectures also introduce new challenges to monitoring and observability. Teams building serverless applications can iterate quickly and deploy frequent code and configuration changes, making it difficult to track what impact these changes have on your applications.
Datadog has a long-standing commitment to open standards. Our integrations with OpenMetrics, JMX, and WMI, as well as our implementation of the tried-and-true StatsD protocol, enable you to collect data with the tools and libraries that fit best into your workflows.
Using open source code makes it easier to build applications, but the freely available nature of open source code introduces the risk of pulling potential security vulnerabilities into your environment. Knowing whether or not customers are actually accessing the vulnerable parts of your application is key to triaging security threats without spending hours fixing an issue that doesn’t affect end users.
