Welcome to the second iteration of What’s New in Sysdig in 2022! Before starting, once again, we wish you a happy Spring Festival, Seol-Nal, Tet Nguyen Dan, Tsagaan Sar, and Lailat al Miraj.

It’s an exciting day at Sysdig as we announce our channel-first approach to doing business. What does this mean exactly? Going forward, we will be conducting sales for all customers outside of the Global 500 through a channel partner. For more than three decades, customers have leveraged channel partners as trusted advisors for vendor-agnostic IT consultation and expertise. Our channel-first approach moves Sysdig in line with how customers buy.

As you already know, the “What’s new in Sysdig” blog team is involving more and more people, and this month is up to me, Giulio Puri. I’m based in Milan, Italy, and I’ve been part of the Sysdig EMEA team since May, 2021 as a Sales Engineer. I’m passionate about technology, innovation and cybersecurity, and in my free time, I love to cook, experiment with recipes and – not always successfully – surprise my friends with new dishes.

Today, I’m excited to announce that Gerald Combs, the original creator and lead maintainer of Wireshark, has joined Sysdig. In addition, Sysdig is becoming the primary sponsor of Wireshark.

Here we are with the final “What’s new in Sysdig” monthly newsletter of the year. First of all, Merry Christmas, メリークリスマス, Buon Natale, 성탄을 축하드려요, С рождеством!, Vrolijk kerstfeest, Feliz Navidad! Whatever you may be celebrating, we wish you a wonderful holiday season from all of us at Sysdig!

I am excited to announce today that we have raised an additional $350M at a valuation of $2.5B, more than doubling our valuation and bringing our cumulative funding since inception to ~$750M. This funding reflects investor conviction in our ability to be the dominant cloud and container security platform, and brings us closer to our vision of helping every organization to confidently run modern, cloud-native applications.

Kubernetes 1.23 is about to be released, and it comes packed with novelties! Where do we begin? This release brings 45 enhancements, on par with the 56 in Kubernetes 1.22 and the 50 in Kubernetes 1.21. Of those 45 enhancements, 11 are graduating to Stable, a whopping 15 are existing features that keep improving, and 19 are completely new. The new features included in this version are generally small, but really welcomed. Like the kubectl events command, support for OpenAPI v3, or gRPC probes.

Welcome to a new update of “What’s new in Sysdig.” Happy All Saints’/Souls’ Day! Happy International Pianist Day! Happy Thanksgiving! Happy Diwali! Glad alla helgons dag. The “What’s new in Sysdig” blog has been rotated to a new team, and this month, Peter Andersson is responsible for the publishing. Thanks to Chris Kranz for an excellent job compiling these articles earlier.

In this article, we’ll cover the three main challenges you may face when maintaining your own Prometheus LTS solution. In the beginning, Prometheus claimed that it wasn’t a long-term metrics storage, the expected outcome was that somebody would eventually create that long-term storage (LTS) for Prometheus metrics. Currently, there are several open-source projects to provide long-term storage (Prometheus LTS). These community projects are ahead of the rest: Cortex, Thanos, and M3.

Securing a cloud-native environment, such as SUSE Rancher, requires unique considerations. New abstractions like containers, plus the dynamic nature of a Kubernetes orchestrated environment can hamper visibility, especially for legacy tools that aren’t designed for containers and cloud. To help, Sysdig and SUSE have launched a SUSE One Partner Solution Stack designed to not only showcase our joint solution, but also to provide easy ways for you to get started.
