A few weeks ago I attended a presentation by Sysdig as part of Cloud Field Day 5. Prior to attending CFD5 I did a little research about the company and their products and wrote up a quick post where I posed a few questions. I think some of those questions were answered by the presenters. The questions were:

• Do you currently support or plan to support container deployments using AWS Fargate or Azure Container Instances?
• Is Sysdig a marketplace item in AWS or Azure today to simplify deployment?
• How are you handling balancing open-source and paid products? Are there plans to open-source the whole solution like Chef just did?
• What are you doing with all the aggregated monitoring data you are getting from clients?
• What are the major security concerns with your solution and how are you addressing them?

You can watch all three videos on YouTube. Below are a few thoughts and a bit of a deep dive on how Sysdig is capturing and storing their information.
