Michael Ducy - DevOpsDays NYC 2018 Ignite
summary
Claim: containers change monitoring and microservices change service observability. Explains Linux primitives like cgroups namespaces LSM and treats containers as short‑lived processes, not VMs. Proposes five principles of modern monitoring including auto discover metrics for runtime and app, monitoring APIs and tracing cross‑service calls, and leaving CPU/memory lifecycle decisions to the orchestrator. Recommends mapping alerts and metrics to team boundaries so ownership aligns with Conway’s law.
