Sysdig offers a comprehensive platform for monitoring and securing Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS), leveraging tools like Sysdig Monitor and Sysdig Secure to streamline the deployment, management, and scaling of containerized applications on AWS. The platform integrates cloud, container, and orchestration insights to identify vulnerabilities and performance issues in Kubernetes environments through technologies such as ImageVision, ContainerVision, ServiceVision, and CloudVision. Sysdig's approach includes auto-tagging events and metrics, offering detailed views of infrastructure and microservices, and facilitating real-time monitoring and security with features like dashboards, adaptive alerts, and system captures. The installation process is straightforward, utilizing a lightweight container-agent deployed as a DaemonSet to ensure comprehensive coverage as nodes are added or fail. Sysdig aims to provide critical performance, health, and security insights, supporting both cloud and on-premise AWS environments, and simplifying the management of containerized services.
