Cribl announced that Cribl
Edge, a
highly-scalable edge-based data collection system, is now available in AWS
Marketplace as an Amazon
Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS) add-on. AWS Marketplace is a digital catalog
with thousands of software listings from independent software vendors that make
it easy to find, test, buy, and deploy software that runs on Amazon Web
Services (AWS). As part of Cribl's relationship with AWS, this milestone helps
developers to seamlessly share Amazon EKS data between security and operations
teams, optimize observability data collection, and route data to multiple
destinations.
"Kubernetes is an integral part
of our infrastructure, but it is difficult to monitor, especially at
scale," said Bob Chen, Senior Director of Infrastructure Engineering at
iHerb. "With Cribl Edge deployed with our Kubernetes-based microservices,
we're able to collect application logs and system metrics for instant
visibility, saving us engineering time while avoiding outages."
The need for visibility into
Kubernetes (K8s) environments is growing. According to CNCF's
annual survey,
40% of respondents running containers in production cited container security as
the biggest adoption barrier, and reported using up to seven categories of
supporting technologies in K8s environments. Routing to multiple destinations
in K8s environments requires several agents, each installed in separate sidecar
containers dedicated to monitoring ephemeral containers. This leaves more room
for misconfigurations that impact performance and management overhead. Cribl
Edge creates a self-service data collection and routing process in EKS, and
offers a consistent experience for developers and SREs.
Cribl Edge is designed to
support today's modern distributed architectures, giving users the flexibility
and control to send data anywhere, instead of being locked in to a single
destination. Its intelligent agent efficiently gathers and auto-discovers observability
data at its egress point to provide additional cost-effective options for data
collection and processing. Now available as an add-on
for Amazon EKS,
a managed K8s service to run K8s on AWS and on-premises data centers, users can
seamlessly implement observability into new and existing Amazon EKS
environments and gain the following benefits of Cribl Edge:
- Simplify data collection by automatically collecting
logs, metrics, and application data at scale.
- Reduce vendor lock-in with centrally managed,
configured, and version-controlled solution for easy expansion and low
cost of ownership.
- Utilize built-in Fleet Management to effortlessly
manage tens of thousands of edge nodes.
"Cribl is committed to providing
customers with greater choice and control over their data, and this integration
with Amazon EKS ensures customers have access to the right tools to manage data
collection at scale," said Ledion Bitincka, Co-Founder & CTO at Cribl. "As
the volume of data continues to grow every year, the ability to collect the
right data without installing, configuring, and managing multiple, independent
agents is critical, and Cribl Edge provides users a seamless solution to
achieve the visibility required to manage data collection at scale."
