… For Good ReasonContainers enable

the modern software paradigm

Lightweight VMs EnablingCI/CD + DevOps

Building block for Microservices


Containers Are Great...

• Lightweight & Efficient

• Dynamic

• Reproducible & Portable


Containers Are Great...

…but seeing inside

containers is HARD.


Visibility in a Container World

• Infrastructures are exponentially more:– Scaled– Dynamic– Complex

• New container-native technologies• Containers are black boxes


Catch 22

How can I continue to innovate and evolve

my application infrastructure without

sacrificing visibility!?


Container-Native Performance Management


Container-NativePerformance Management

1. 100% visibility with no instrumentation and no extra burden

2. Deep awareness of container-native technologies

3. Microservice oriented output and user experience

applications and infrastructure

• Lightweight agent• All good…


Container Visibility Options

1. Agents inside every container

2. Agents outside containers

3. Monitoring as a Microservice

benefits of containers:– Light weight– Portability– Reproducibility

Container-Native Monitoring

What if we started from scratch and re-architected monitoring

from the ground up forcontainerized environments?


Monitoring as a Microservice

Why Monitoring as a Microservice?

• Aligns with container + microservice principles

• Full visibility• Support for ecosystem• Highly scalable +

dynamic• Zero setup / zero config

Sysdig Container-Native Architecture

1. Instrument host operating system

3. Ingest in Monitoring Container

4. (Optionally) save to trace file

2. Capture process +

container activity
