Mallory Mooney and Yair Cohen of Datadog are introducing support for monitoring both Windows-based Docker containers and mixed OS clusters in Kubernetes, enabling organizations to seamlessly monitor containerized Windows workloads alongside their other applications. Datadog is partnering with Google Cloud to provide native support for Windows containers on Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE), allowing organizations to streamline application deployments, scalability, and performance management on a single cloud platform. The Datadog Agent can be easily installed on GKE node pools using Helm charts, and once deployed, it collects logs, metrics, and distributed traces from all Windows containers, providing visibility into the entire container infrastructure. With Autodiscovery, Datadog detects when containers are created or destroyed, automatically collecting data from services running on those containers. The Agent provides a comprehensive view of the state of clusters and deployed applications, enabling organizations to drill down to specific containers within their cluster to investigate issues affecting application performance.
