How a Kubernetes bug won’t let you expose a service over TCP and UDP on a same port

Ambassador and the Cloud Native Ecosystem—Part 1: Monitoring

In a Cloud Native world, microservices are running with ephemeral containers that are regularly deployed to multiple availability zones, regions, and even multiple clouds.

Today, more traditional monitoring responsibilities are being automated, and monitoring has become less human centric.

Envoy and the “Programmable Edge”: The Changing Role of Edge Proxies and Developer Experience

Introducing container observability with eBPF and Sysdig.

Today we’ve announced that we’ve officially added eBPF instrumentation to extend container observability with Sysdig monitoring, security and forensics solutions. eBPF – extended Berkeley Packet Filter – is a Linux-native in-kernel virtual machine that enables secure, low-overhead tracing for application performance and event observability and analysis. Don’t let the name fool you – eBPF delivers a lot more than network packet information (more on that below).

Podman and Buildah for Docker users

I was asked recently on Twitter to better explain Podman and Buildah for someone familiar with Docker. Though there are many blogs and tutorials out there, which I will list later, we in the community have not centralized an explanation of how Docker users move from Docker to Podman and Buildah. Also what role does Buildah play?

Infrastructure monitoring: Defense against surprise downtime

Infrastructure monitoring is an integral part of infrastructure management. It is an IT manager’s first line of defense against surprise downtime. Severe issues can inject considerable downtime to live infrastructure, sometimes causing heavy loss of money and material.
