Best practices for monitoring CDN logs

By storing copies of your content in geographically distributed servers, content delivery networks (CDNs) enable you to extend the reach of your app without sacrificing performance. CDNs lessen the demand on individual web hosts by increasing the number and regional spread of servers that are able to respond to incoming requests for cached content. As a result, they can deliver web content faster and provide a better experience for your end users.

Leveraging Calico flow logs for enhanced observability

In my previous blog post, I discussed how transitioning from legacy monolithic applications to microservices based applications running on Kubernetes brings a range of benefits, but that it also increases the application’s attack surface. I zoomed in on creating security policies to harden the distributed microservice application, but another key challenge this transition brings is observing and monitoring the workload communication and known and unknown security gaps.
