Log analyzers are software that helps contextualize massive amounts of log data. Log analyzers reduce the amount of time that it takes to perform root cause analysis, and they provide development organizations with valuable insights that help them improve their products for their end users.

Kubernetes, as a platform, is a comprehensive set of tools for orchestrating containers at scale. It consists of a modular architecture of specific components with a defined purpose. For example, the scheduler finds the ideal match for a particular pod and the kube-proxy manages the networking between the nodes and the master.

Secure Socket Layer (SSL) and its successor, Transport Layer Security (TLS) are protocols designed to safeguard traffic over the internet. SSL certificates allow websites to move from HTTP to HTTPS, a more secure communication channel on a network. Starting this September, the lifespan of an SSL/TLS certificate will be limited to 398 days, a reduction from the previous maximum certificate lifetime of 825 days.

Istio is a service mesh that enables teams to manage traffic in distributed workloads without modifying the workloads themselves, making it easier to implement load balancing, canarying, circuit breakers, and other design choices. Versions of Istio prior to 1.5 adopted a microservices architecture and deployed each Istio component as an independently scalable Kubernetes pod. Version 1.5 signalled a change in course, moving all of its components into a single binary, istiod.

We are excited to announce a new partnership with Microsoft Azure, which has enabled us to build streamlined experiences for purchasing, configuring, and managing Datadog directly inside the Azure portal. This first-of-its-kind integration of a third-party service into a public cloud provider reduces the learning curve for using Datadog to monitor the health and performance of your applications in Azure—and sets you up for a successful cloud migration or modernization.
