OpenMetrics: Is Prometheus unbound?

Historically, the monitoring landscape has been a mess; today, it still is. It’s even worse given how software architectures have changed with all of the cloud-native principles. As “techies”, we need to do something about this. Otherwise, we’ll remain chained up by an inability to properly observe our own platforms and applications.

Sysdig Monitor Overview

Organizations are moving to the cloud and DevOps to ship applications faster. However, the dynamic nature of these environments can lead to gaps in visibility. Without the proper insight, how can you address the issues that impact the availability and performance of your applications? Sysdig Monitor provides cloud monitoring at scale with full Prometheus compatibility. You can get deep visibility into rapidly-changing container-environments including infrastructure, services and applications.

Challenges using Prometheus at scale

This article will cover the most common challenges you might find when trying to use Prometheus at scale. Prometheus is one of the foundations of the cloud-native environment. It has become the de-facto standard for visibility in Kubernetes environments, creating a new category called Prometheus monitoring. The Prometheus journey is usually tied to the Kubernetes journey and the different development stages, from proof of concept to production.

Sysdig Introduces the First Cloud-Scale Prometheus Monitoring Offering

Today, we are excited to announce a huge step forward for Sysdig Monitor. We’re introducing the ability for our customers to use Sysdig to scale Prometheus monitoring to millions of metrics with long-term retention. The improvements we are releasing make Sysdig the first cloud-scale monitoring offering to deliver full Prometheus compatibility.

PromCat: A resource catalog for enterprise-class Prometheus monitoring

PromCat, short for Prometheus Catalog, is a resource catalog for enterprise-class Prometheus monitoring. Prometheus has been revolutionary in the way we monitor our cloud-native environments, attracting immense attention from the open-source community and making the amount of Prometheus monitoring resources explode. Now, there are so many resources available that it’s no longer easy to filter out the good ones and discard those that are poorly documented or obsolete.

What's new in Kubernetes 1.18?

Kubernetes 1.18 is about to be released! After the small release that was 1.17, 1.18 comes strong and packed with novelties. Where do we begin? There are new features, like the OIDC discovery for the API server and the increased support for Windows nodes, that will have a big impact on the community. We are also happy to see how some features that have been on Alpha state for too long are now being reconsidered and prepared for the spotlight, like Ingress or the API Server Network Proxy.
