ClouDNS vs Inspektor Gadget: at a glance
What is ClouDNS?
ClouDNS updates its WHMCS module with HTTPS and SVCB record support
ClouDNS released version 1.9 of its WHMCS provisioning module, adding WHMCS 9 support, HTTPS and SVCB DNS records and new CAA parameters for resellers. Recent months also brought RapidSSL and Actalis certificates, Maintenance Mode for monitoring, and a steady series of new TLD accreditations.
What is Inspektor Gadget?
Inspektor Gadget v0.58 adds SELinux and rename tracing and fixes stale OTel series
Inspektor Gadget v0.58.0 adds trace_selinux for SELinux AVC decisions and trace_rename for file renames, an opt-in OpenTelemetry snapshot mode that drops series for processes that no longer exist, and IPv6 support in trace_sni. The profiler fork was rebased onto upstream, and trace_fsslower's output format changed in a breaking way. v0.57.0 had already let gadgets run rootless with narrow capabilities.

ClouDNS

ClouDNS updates its WHMCS module with HTTPS and SVCB record support
◆ Current state
ClouDNS released version 1.9 of its WHMCS provisioning module, adding WHMCS 9 support, HTTPS and SVCB DNS records and new CAA parameters for resellers. Recent months also brought RapidSSL and Actalis certificates, Maintenance Mode for monitoring, and a steady series of new TLD accreditations.
◆ Where it's heading
ClouDNS keeps widening the services around its DNS core: certificates, monitoring and status pages, and now reseller tooling. TLD accreditations continue as routine catalog growth.
◆ Prediction
Expect more TLD accreditations and small additions to SSL and monitoring; nothing in the entries points to a larger shift.

Inspektor Gadget v0.58 adds SELinux and rename tracing and fixes stale OTel series
◆ Current state
Inspektor Gadget v0.58.0 adds trace_selinux for SELinux AVC decisions and trace_rename for file renames, an opt-in OpenTelemetry snapshot mode that drops series for processes that no longer exist, and IPv6 support in trace_sni. The profiler fork was rebased onto upstream, and trace_fsslower's output format changed in a breaking way. v0.57.0 had already let gadgets run rootless with narrow capabilities.
◆ Where it's heading
The project is pairing two tracks: reducing the privileges and trust an eBPF tool needs (rootless runs, multi-tenancy, hardened parsing) and making its output fit standard observability pipelines (OTel metrics and profiles). New gadgets keep widening security-relevant coverage.
◆ Prediction
Expect further OpenTelemetry alignment and more security-focused gadgets; the experimental multi-tenancy from v0.56 has not yet shown a path to stable in the entries.
