What are your containers doing? Troubleshooting containers at scale.

Containers are amazing. Until you have to troubleshoot applications running in them! This talk will be focused on using open source sysdig to show you how to do just that. Sysdig provides deep, request‐level visibility inside containers without invasive instrumentation. It gives instant visibility to containers, and even the applications running inside them.We'll also give you a sneak preview of our upcoming Mesos & Marathon integrations and how they simplify troubleshooting even more.

Loris Degioanni is the CEO and founder of Sysdig, Inc. and the original creator of the popular open source troubleshooting tool, sysdig. Prior to founding Sysdig, Loris ran the company behind the Wireshark open source network analyzer that he co-founded in 2005. Loris holds a PhD in computer engineering from Politecnico di Torino and lives in Davis, California.

Mesos as a toolbox—horses for courses

One of the characteristics of Mesos and its ecosystem is its versatility: it supports a range of workloads, from batch to streaming and PaaS. We will have a closer look at the toolbox, discuss the usage and applicability of a number of frameworks (Marathon, Kubernetes, Chronos, Cook, etc.) for different scenarios as well as identify what else might be missing in the toolbox, so far (hint: serverless compute).

Michael Hausenblas is a Datacenter Application Architect with Mesosphere where he helps developers to build scalable and elastic distributed applications. His background is in large-scale data integration, Hadoop and NoSQL, the Internet of Things, as well as Web applications and he's experienced in advocacy and standardisation. Michael is contributing to open source software at Apache (Myriad, Drill) and shares his experience on the Datacenter OS and large-scale data processing through blog posts and public speaking engagements.
