6.30pm - Monitoring Microservices on Docker, Jorge Salamero Sanz (https://twitter.com/bencerillo), Sysdig (https://sysdig.com/)
First, containers radically changed how you could get visibility into your applications. As developers have started to leverage orchestration systems on top of containers, the game is changing yet again. What was a simple application on a host before is now a sophisticated, dynamically orchestrated, multi-container architecture. It’s amazing for development - but introduces a whole new set of challenges for monitoring.
In this talk we’ll lay out a few key principles for monitoring microservices and the containers they are based on. These principles are based on my experience, but also leverage the wisdom of hundreds of organizations that are currently monitoring microservices with Docker. We’ll address issues such as: Do host-based metrics matter any more? If so, when? What techniques can be used to extract application data from inside containers? How do you resolve tricky issues like greedy containers? When can you leverage container orchestration platform metadata to solve problems? How do you alert on elastic services that are growing and shrinking on-demand?
You’ll walk away with a good understanding of the challenges of monitoring microservices and how you can set your team up for success.
7.15pm - Your secret's safe with me, Liz Rice (https://twitter.com/lizrice), AquaSec (https://www.aquasec.com)
You have secrets, like certificates and passwords, that you need to get into your containers without revealing them to people and code you don't trust. There are lots of approaches to secrets management, and some of them are a really bad idea!
In this talk we'll demo some of the risks, and look at the pros and cons of better options for secrets management and distribution
8.00pm - Wrap up
