Sysdig Workshop London December

This workshop introduces the Sysdig Platform running against a Kubernetes environment. It walks through the fundamental concepts of the Sysdig Platform while tasking students to solve different business challenges that are common when running a Kubernetes environment. The workshop goes through deploying different microservices applications, discovering their architecture, troubleshooting issues, creating relevant dashboards using a variety of metric sources, securing the applications and platform, as well as forensic analysis of failures and security events.

Workshop length: 1 day

Outlines

Deploy a new microservices application
Discover and explore a microservices application using Sysdig Monitor
Monitor a web services application using key metrics and monitoring approaches: Golden Signals, Utilization Saturation and Errors (USE) resource monitoring and Kubernetes orchestration
Identify performance bottlenecks in the application
Efficiently scale the application to handle the required load while monitoring the changes
Tailor Sysdig to provide application assurance for this microservices application
Dig deeper into the application using custom metrics from a variety of data sources
Explore activity in events & custom events
Authentication & Access Control – limit access to different resources
Image scanning to ensure good security practices are being established early on
Compliance benchmarks to ensure the platform itself is built follow CIS best practices
Runtime security to detect malware, anomalous activity, application security issues, and zero day exploits.
Forensic troubleshooting and investigations of failures and security events

Intended Audience

This workshop is intended for individuals with an existing understanding of microservices, container technologies and container orchestrators. Primarily this course focused on Docker container runtime engine and Kubernetes container orchestrator, but many of the concepts are universal across runtimes and orchestrators. The audience is expected to have a good understanding of the Linux command line and basic Linux troubleshooting (viewing logs, identifying IP addresses, etc.).
