Container Logging & Devops: the Future of Kubernetes Integration

I hosted a webinar where I covered why logging is important, how to choose a logging provider. And then shared our experience of setting up logging on Kubernetes containers, the Kubernetes logging framework and the logging best practices we’ve implemented internally and supported our customers who run Kubernetes in production.

Falco 0.13.0 Released: Kubernetes Audit Events Support

We recently released Falco 0.13.0, which is probably the most exciting release since Falco’s 0.1.0 release almost two and a half years ago. With 0.13.0, we’re adding support for a second stream of events — Kubernetes Audit Events. This release also lays the groundwork for additional event sources to be easily added.

Pro Tips: Using Prometheus and Grafana for Monitoring Power Usage

Sure, thousands of technologists around the world are using Prometheus and Grafana to monitor their business systems. But how about putting these technologies to work at home? Erwin de Keijzer, a Linux engineer at the Dutch consulting firm Snow, gave a talk at GrafanaCon EU about how he used Prometheus and Grafana to monitor the power usage… of his washing machine. “This is a talk that’s a bit different scale than we’ve heard so far” at GrafanaCon, he quipped.

Why Kubelet TLS Bootstrap in Kubernetes 1.12 is a Very Big Deal

Kubelet TLS Bootstrap, an exciting and highly-anticipated feature in Kubernetes 1.12, is graduating to general availability. As you know, the Kubernetes orchestration system provides such key benefits as service discovery, load balancing, rolling restarts, and the ability to maintain container counts by replacing failed containers. And by using Kubernetes-compliant extensions, you can seamlessly enhance system functionality.

Deploying JFrog Artifactory with Rancher, Part One

In this article we'll walk through using Rancher to deploy and manage JFrog Artifactory on a Kubernetes cluster. When you have finished reading this article, you will have a fully functional installation of, and you can use the same steps to install the OSS or commercial version of Artifactory in any other Kubernetes cluster.

Docker and Kubernetes: What is the Value of Containerization?

In the last few years, the primitive and conservative world is vanishing. In its place is emerging new world whose base is science and technology. The DevOps community has been flourished due to microservices and containerization-based architecture. According to 451 Research, container technology such as Docker and Kubernetes will eventually face the fastest growth in contrast with other cloud-enabling technologies, with an estimated CAGR of 40% through 2020.

The Differences Between Monitoring Containerized Apps and Non-Containerized Apps

Containers provide a nifty solution to package up applications along with their dependencies, and for the whole encapsulated process to be run on a host system. This technology is undeniably popular due to its ability to allow developers to create flexible, scalable, reliable solutions in a quicker amount of time. It has enabled more freedom in choosing the technology we use in our applications and has brought development and production environments closer to parity.

Introducing the Datadog Cluster Agent

As containers and orchestrators have surged in popularity, they have created highly dynamic environments with rapidly changing workloads—and the need for equally dynamic ways of monitoring them. After all, orchestration technologies like Kubernetes, DC/OS, and Swarm manage container workloads both at the node level and at the cluster level, which means that you need to gather insights from every layer to fully understand the state of your infrastructure.
