Falco vs. AuditD from the HIDS perspective

In this blog, we will compare and contrast Falco vs. AuditD from a Host Intrusion Detection (HIDS) perspective. AuditD is a native feature to the Linux kernel that collects certain types of system activity to facilitate incident investigation. Falco is the CNCF open-source project for runtime threat detection for containers and Kubernetes. We will dig deeper into the technical details and cover the installation, detection, resource consumption, and integration between both products.

The topic of the conversation was focused on the current state of Kubernetes, and concluded with an "unboxing" and Kelsey's live/unfiltered impressions on the Shipa application management framework for Kubernetes.

Combining Progressive Delivery With GitOps And Continuous Delivery

Three phrases keep popping up when talking about modern workflows and development and deployment techniques. We have continuous delivery to automate the complete lifecycle of applications from a commit to a Git repository, all the way until a release is deployable to production. Then we have GitOps to define the desired states of our environments and let the machines handle the converge the actual into the desired state. Finally, there is a lot of focus on different deployment strategies grouped under progressive delivery.

Walking Through a Call From Pingdom Alert to DigitalOcean Managed Kubernetes

SolarWinds® Pingdom® is an external synthetic monitoring agent designed to monitor your systems from the outside in. If you know what clues to look for, it can provide a great place to triage where a problem is occurring in the system. So how does a Pingdom call work, and how can you use it to debug what’s happening inside the system?

Correlating Pingdom Alerts With AppOptics and Loggly in DigitalOcean Kubernetes

So SolarWinds® Pingdom® has alerted you to an issue—what do you do now? In this article, I’ll explain the features and capabilities of a full monitoring stack in SolarWinds and how you can use it to get to the bottom of a 3 a.m. Pingdom wake-up call. The Setup For our web service, we use a simple architecture of a front-end Flask application with a Postgres back end served behind an edge SSL-terminating NGINX instance on the DigitalOcean Managed Kubernetes service.
