Datadog dashboards provide a unified view of your application, infrastructure, and business data, giving stakeholders the context they need to make decisions. Sharing dashboards publicly is useful when you want to make them easily accessible to a large audience. But oftentimes, your dashboards include sensitive information, which is why you need finer-grained controls over the data you share—and who you share it with.
When an alert triggers in your application or environment, you want your team to know as soon as possible so you can troubleshoot quickly and minimize any user-facing issues. Datadog can automatically alert you via email and collaboration services like Slack and PagerDuty. The simple, real-time communication provided by SMS can also be an effective way to alert your team.

A home kitchen during the holidays can be a very frenetic place. There are often many, many dishes being prepared at the same time and cooked in sequence. Some are short and easy, others can take several hours. It’s inevitable that a dish will get missed, or a step forgotten.
Welcome to another monthly update on what’s new from Sysdig. Our team continues to work hard to bring great new features to all of our customers, automatically and for free!
It’s that most wonderful time of year! Even though it’s been extra challenging for everyone, we can still take a breath, reflect on lessons learned, and look to fill our proverbial cups with knowledge to take into the New Year. We thought we’d revisit a few of our most popular Automation and AIOps resources from 2020.
VCLB Ghent is a Belgian non-profit organization that serves pupils between the ages of 3 and 18 years old. Every two years, we offer students a free medical checkup.

A few weeks ago a solution engineer discovered a critical flaw in Kubernetes architecture and design, and announced that a “security issue was discovered with Kubernetes affecting multi-tenant clusters. If a potential attacker can already create or edit services and pods, then they may be able to intercept traffic from other pods (or nodes) in the cluster.” If a hostile user can create a ClusterIP service and set the spec.externalIP field, they can intercept traffic to that IP.
