Continuous Profiling - What Is It?
Polar signals is a company that specializes in continuous profiling. Profiling has been around since the sixties and seventies, when it was more precious to have sip timeright. Polar signals' product captures what programs are doing 100 times per second so they can be analysed for pattern-matching purposes.
This is Gerhard’s first set of interviews from KubeCon North America 2021.
William Morgan shares with us some of the finer Linkerd details, such as the underlying security theme, why native Kubernetes objects are preferable to more CRDs, and the joy of meeting team members in person.
Frederic Branczyk speaks about Parca, a new continuous system profiling tool that uses eBPF to help you understand what is happening on your hosts.
Andrew Rynhard gives us a great Talos OS and Kubespan perspective, and shares some really good follow-up videos on these topics.
The last conversation is with David Flanagan - you know him as Rawkode - about new beginnings. It’s only been less than two months since we’ve had him in episode 18, and he kept really busy. Caleb, his 3 weeks old baby boy, was the youngest attendee at this conference, and some talks made him sleepy, so good job everyone.
