At AWS re:Invent recently, we excitedly announced Logz.io Infrastructure Monitoring – our new Grafana-based monitoring product! This product is the third pillar of our cloud observability platform, together with Logz.io Log Management and Logz.io Cloud SIEM.
“Service mesh” is an umbrella term for products that seek to solve the problems that microservices’ architectures create. These challenges include security, network traffic control, and application telemetry. The resolution of these challenges can be achieved by decoupling your application at layer five of the network stack, which is one definition of what service meshes do.
Single-node deployments of Kubernetes are more common than what one would expect. In some scenarios, single-node clusters make much more sense. For development purposes or testing, there’s no need to deploy a full-blown production-grade cluster. Single-node deployments are also handy for appliances and IoT applications since they have a much smaller footprint. Enter MicroK8s, a tool by Canonical that enables you to easily deploy a lightweight single-node cluster in your local environment.
This was a particularly interesting and challenging year for security, cloud computing, and DevOps. It has been exciting to watch organizations and individuals transition to the public cloud and adopt DevOps culture and processes. Many are now reaping the benefits of these technological shifts.
Yesterday, we announced the beta release of Logz.io Infrastructure Monitoring — our Grafana-based monitoring solution, and the planned release of a Jaeger-based tracing solution. These additions to our platform complement our ELK-based Log Management product, together constituting what is the world’s only open source-based observability platform for monitoring, troubleshooting and securing distributed cloud workloads.
Today, I am proud to announce the release of Logz.io Infrastructure Monitoring, a Grafana-based monitoring solution that enables engineers to speed up detection and reduce time to resolution. This new offering extends our Log Management and Cloud Security (Cloud SIEM) products, which together form Logz.io’s new Cloud Observability Platform.
