Release 1.20: Kernel monitoring 'superpowers' and infrastructure-wide labels

In Netdata’s first major release of 2020, we’re introducing two new features on the opposite ends of the monitoring spectrum. On one hand, we’re releasing an eBPF collector, which lets you collect, monitor, and visualize incredibly precise metrics straight from the Linux kernel. On the other, we added the ability to label agents to help you organize entire infrastructures and see every important piece of information about streaming nodes in one place.

Linux eBPF monitoring with Netdata

Your application isn’t finished when you’ve closed the last if block and you lined up all the brackets. There’s a whole other world of testing, debugging, and optimization that you haven’t even touched yet. To help you more safely step into that complex phase of making your application even better, we’ve just released a brand-new eBPF collector in v1.20 of Netdata.

Image scanning for CircleCI

In this blog post, we are going to cover how to perform container image scanning for CircleCI using Sysdig Secure. Image scanning allows DevOps teams to detect and resolve issues, like known vulnerabilities and incorrect configurations, directly in their CI/CD pipelines. Using Sysdig Secure, you can enforce image policies to block vulnerabilities before they reach production environments and fix them faster while the developer still has the context.

Improving Kubernetes Clusters' Efficiency with Log Management

Log management plays an important role in helping to debug Kubernetes clusters, improve their efficiency, and monitor them for any suspicious activity. Kubernetes is an open-source cluster management software designed for the deployment, scaling, and operations of containerized applications.

Serverless is more than AWS Lambda

Too often serverless is equated with just AWS Lambda. Yes, it’s true: Amazon Web Services (AWS) helped to pioneer what is commonly referred to as serverless today with AWS Lambda, which was first announced back in 2015. But in 2020, it’s important for enterprises to understand that the serverless landscape is much bigger with more opportunities. Serverless is sometimes (narrowly) defined as just being about functions-as-a-service, but that’s a very limited viewpoint.

Mission-critical Hybrid Capacity Management - It's Time

When mission-critical applications were all implemented within your data center, capacity management seemed easy – Most organizations deployed infrastructure sets (compute, network, and storage) to meet their 95 to 99% capacity requirement. For a retailer, that might mean planning around a “Black Friday” date (Cyber-Monday wasn’t around then). For a bank or a manufacturer using ERP or financial systems, this might instead be the end of year close.

Software Trends for 2020: Continuous Delivery

“Software is eating the world” is no longer a hopeful vision. It’s happening. It’s here. Software is driving the world’s most important technological trends, and 2020 will prove to be an inflection point for several of them. Underlying the rapid pace of software transformation is another trend that has become immensely popular in itself. The rise of continuous delivery has enabled software companies to turn their ideas into reality faster than ever before.
