Best practices for containerized environments: A joint Sysdig & CoreOS meetup

Hello Sysdig fans!

Come join us for an extra special meetup: we’re holding the event at Okta’s HQ (https://www.okta.com/) in downtown San Francisco and co-presenting with our good friends from CoreOS (https://coreos.com/). At this meetup we’ll be covering some best practices for getting the most out of your containers in production.

To start, we’ll have Brian Redbeard from CoreOS talk about that one weird old trick to minimize your containers. Oftentimes people think containers are like lightweight virtual machines, but overlook the ways to optimize interactions between applications running on a host.

In this talk, Brian will cover:

• The what and why of the namespaces which make containerization possible

• Several strategies for developing containers optimized for your infrastructure

Next, Gianluca Borello, Sr. Software Engineer at Sysdig will walk through several container visibility use cases (including live demos!). Containers are changing the way software is built and deployed, but without deep visibility inside your containers, you can’t run them effectively in production.

In this talk, Gianluca will cover:

• How to observe transactions and commands inside containers

• Troubleshooting flannel networking & confd in a containerized context

• Monitoring and troubleshooting distributed CoreOS environments

No matter what your skill level or familiarity with containers, all are welcome to attend. We’ll have good food and drinks, and plenty of Sysdig & CoreOS giveaways!

Space at the venue is limited, so be sure to reserve your spot today. If you can’t make it in person, we got you covered! We will be live streaming the event, so simply register for the event here (https://attendee.gotowebinar.com/register/8179940267816348418) and you’ll be able to watch the event live so you don’t miss any of this Sysdig and CoreOS goodness.
