In this discussion with Loris Degioanni of Sysdig, we talk about how the speed at which containerized environments move has proven to be difficult for traditional monitoring solutions. Users may have tens of thousands of containers, with some lasting only a few seconds, and a traditional monitoring solution whose sampling and reaction time is measured in minutes. It’s important to have the contextual information about these containers in order to handle them in an environment where orchestrators are constantly spinning up and removing containers. Without context, you can be quickly overwhelmed by metrics that aren’t useful to you. Degioanni talks about the importance of having visibility into the container, and how Sysdig achieves this with its own ContainerVision technology. Instead of placing an agent inside the container, ContainerVision places a module in the operating system – essentially allowing it visibility into all current and future containers. We also go on to talk about the container orchestration revolution, overcoming telemetry issues, and updating traditional monitoring solutions.
