Falco operators

A collection of Juju charms for deploying and managing Falco runtime security monitoring. This repository contains:

  • Falco operator: A subordinate charm that deploys Falco on physical or virtual machines

  • Falcosidekick K8s operator: A Kubernetes charm that receives and forwards Falco alerts to various outputs

Falco is an open-source cloud native security tool that provides runtime security across hosts, containers, Kubernetes, and cloud environments. Falcosidekick connects Falco to your ecosystem by forwarding alerts to observability platforms, incident response tools, and other integrations.

Like any Juju charm, these charms support one-line deployment, configuration, integration, and scaling.

These charms make operating Falco and Falcosidekick simple and straightforward for DevOps or SRE teams through Juju’s clean interface. For information about how to deploy, integrate, and manage these charms, see the Official Falco Operator Documentation.
