[Expansion of services to Amazon EKS environment]
Initially, MSS for Sysdig SaaS was launched on Amazon.
It only targeted Sysdig, which monitors containers in an ECS (*3) environment. Amazon
ECS is based on AWS original software and is a service that is ideal for the first step in utilizing containers that can be operated at low cost, and is suitable for easily building a simple environment. Amazon EKS, on the other hand, is based on Kubernetes.
Because Kubernetes is open source and is being developed by developers all over the world, it is extremely feature-rich and updates are performed once every three months. For this reason, Amazon
EKS is suitable for building complex environments with a lot of man-hours, and when functions such as load balancing and resource management are required when operating containers on multiple hosts, Amazon
EKS is selected. For this reason, there have been many requests for support for Kubernetes environments, and the new Amazon
Now compatible with EKS environment. In the future, we plan to support Kubernetes environments on Azure and Google Cloud.
MSS for Sysdig SaaS compatible with Amazon EKS environment will be available from September 4th. The price is open price (*4). MSS for Sysdig’s overall sales goal is to sell to 100 companies in one year.
