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.

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.

Getting up and running with Calico On-Prem

If you are deploying Kubernetes on-premises in your datacenter, you won’t want to miss this talk and demo. The first thing you’re thinking about might not be networking, but without some knowledge of the networking decisions you’ll need to make, and what the right option is given your environment, you’re likely to get stuck or make the wrong assumptions that may limit your ability to scale or integrate with the rest of the datacenter network.

Multi-cloud development is accelerating adoption of Kubernetes

As cloud infrastructure grows and develops, reliable and safe management of containers across multiple cloud providers grows increasingly important - accelerating the adoption of Kubernetes (K8s). Orchestration technologies like Kubernetes (K8s) automate the deployment and scaling of containers, and they also ensure the reliability of applications and workloads running on containers.

Sysdig 2021 container security and usage report: Shifting left is not enough

The fourth annual Sysdig container security and usage report looks at how global Sysdig customers of all sizes and industries are using and securing container environments. By examining how and when organizations are implementing security in the development lifecycle, we have been able to uncover some interesting data points in this year’s report. For example, we can see that 74% of organizations are scanning container images in the build process.
