The text discusses how Datadog supports Docker's Ecosystem Technology Partner (ETP) program and provides an overview of Docker performance monitoring using the Datadog Agent. It explains that the Agent runs in its own container on a host to monitor all other containers, utilizing native cgroup accounting metrics for CPU, memory, network, and I/O data collection. The use of tags is highlighted as crucial for tracking and monitoring multiple containers without additional effort. Tags are also useful for defining alerts spanning across clusters of containers. Additionally, the text mentions how to monitor a container's lifecycle using Docker events and provides an example of exploring Docker metrics in Datadog's Metrics Explorer.
