Sysdig Secure Product Overview

We’re excited to announce the newest member of the Sysdig family: Sysdig Secure. It’s designed to provide container run-time security & forensics for enterprises with distributed, dynamic services. As with everything we do, Secure comes with deep container visibility and a natural integration with key orchestration technologies like Kubernetes, Docker, OpenShift, Amazon ECS…. and well, just about everything else that’s important these days.

Solr on Docker: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly

This talk was given during Lucene Revolution 2017 and has two goals: first, to discuss the tradeoffs for running Solr on Docker. For example, you get dynamic allocation of operating system caches, but you also get some CPU overhead. We'll keep in mind that Solr nodes tend to be different than your average container: Solr is usually long running, takes quite some RSS and a lot of virtual memory. This will imply, for example, that it makes more sense to use Docker on big physical boxes than on configurable-size VMs (like Amazon EC2).

Comparing Docker Security tools

There are quite a few Docker security tools in the ecosystem; how do they compare? Everyone starts with image vulnerability scanning, but that's just the beginning and usually stops where your CI/CD pipeline ends. That’s why we created this extensive list of 20 container and Docker specific security tools that can help keep containers secure in production.

Container Monitoring Overview with Sysdig Monitor

Curious how to do container monitoring right? In this video, see an overview of Sysdig Monitor as we go in depth on how to monitor docker containers. We look at Sysdig ContainerVision as a method to see inside containers from the outside, and ServiceVision to help enrich container metrics with service-oriented metadata from Kubernetes, OpenShift, Docker Swarm, and Mesos - DC/OS.
