MesosCon EU 2016

The next generation distributed data center architecture is making applications more powerful and more responsive. But as many teams are starting to find out, the complexity of securing these applications and monitoring their behavior can be impractical, painful, and sometimes plain impossible.

In this demo-driven presentation, Luca Marturana will take you through the underlying challenges of container operations, cover the current state of the art of container and microservice monitoring, and discuss new techniques such as behavioral monitoring to secure your infrastructure. Using open source tools running in live environments, he will demonstrate how to effectively monitor, troubleshoot, and secure Mesos deployments.

The presentation will feature live interaction with container environments and live demos of all tools and techniques discussed. Special emphasis will be put on using the Mesos portfolio of scheduling and management tools as well as sysdig, an open source container and system troubleshooting tool developed by the presenter, and the open source behavioral security monitor falco.

Specific topics will include:
* visualizing the physical vs logical architecture of Mesos & DCOS deployments
* monitoring performance at the holistic microservice/application level for orchestrated systems
* Leveraging Mesos metadata such as Master, Slave, Marathon and labels for more intelligent troubleshooting
* identifying and surfacing anomalous system activity of individual Docker containers
