For enterprises that containerize their applications and want a simple way to deploy them in AWS, ECS is a good option. Or perhaps EKS would work best for you. And then there’s the EC2 vs. Fargate question. Decisions, decisions! Whichever path you choose, it’s easy to monitor your applications with AppDynamics.
Amazon Elastic Container Service for Kubernetes (Amazon EKS) provides Kubernetes as a managed service on AWS. It helps make it easier to deploy, manage and scale containerized applications on Kubernetes. Sysdig cloud-native intelligence solutions – Sysdig Monitor, and Sysdig Secure – provide Amazon EKS monitoring and security from a single agent and unified platform. Sysdig helps AWS customers see more, secure more, and save time in troubleshooting deployed microservices.
Kubernetes is developing so rapidly, that it has become challenging to stay up to date with the latest changes (Heapster has been deprecated!). The ecosystem around Kubernetes has exploded with new integrations developed by the community, and the field of logging and monitoring is one such example.
In this article we will cover Docker image scanning with open source container security / image scanning tools. We will explain how to to deploy and setup Docker image scanning: both on private Docker repositories, and as a CI/CD pipeline validation step. We will also explore ways of integrating image scanning with CI/CD tools like Jenkins, Kubernetes runtime configuration features and runtime security tools like Falco.
“With Docker, developers can build any app in any language using any toolchain. “Dockerized” apps are completely portable and can run anywhere - colleagues’ OS X and Windows laptops, QA servers running Ubuntu in the cloud, and production data center VMs running Red Hat.
Container security is top-of-mind for any organization adopting Docker and Kubernetes, and this open source security guide is a comprehensive resource for anyone who wants to learn how to implement a complete open source container security stack for Docker and Kubernetes.
So, you want to implement run-time security in your Kubernetes cluster? If you are looking for an open-source tool, obviously Sysdig Falco is the way to go :). You can install Falco as a daemonSet, but as we wanted to make things even easier and natively integrated, we have packaged Falco as a Helm chart, the Kubernetes package manager.
As an open-source system for automating deployment, scaling, and management of containerized applications, Kubernetes has grown immensely in popularity. Increasingly, we are also beginning to come across platforms offering Kubernetes as both a hosted and managed service.
How to ensure visibility into your next-generation Kubernetes environment. Having assisted hundreds of enterprises in developing a new visibility strategy as they move to Kubernetes, I’ve learned a few things about how organizations learn, evolve and adopt a new method of application observability. Open source is usually essential to developing this understanding.
Amazon Elastic Container Service for Kubernetes (EKS) makes it easier to operate Kubernetes clusters, but performance monitoring remains a top challenge. AppDynamics seamlessly integrates into EKS environments, providing insights into the performance of every microservice deployed, all through a single pane of glass.
