Network, cloud, and infrastructure engineers can quickly detect and resolve network issues, surface anomalies and compliance issues, and identify outliers related to network traffic costs with the help of Kentik Kube, which provides them with detailed visibility into network traffic and performance both inside and between their Kubernetes clusters.
“Kubernetes is no longer a black box for network teams with Kentik Kube,” said Christoph Pfister, Chief Product Officer of Kentik. “Enterprise infrastructure experts can now easily comprehend Kubernetes traffic and observe how it moves throughout their whole hybrid network architecture, including transit costs, performance issues, and embargoed communications.”
Main advantages of Kentik Kube would include the following:
- Assure the performance of Kubernetes - Find out which pods and services are suffering network latency so that issues may be resolved more quickly. Set up alert rules to proactively identify services, workloads, pods, or nodes with excessive latency.
- Minimize expenses - Prior to egress, inter-region transfer, and gateway costs being out of hand, quickly identify traffic changes associated with new installations or misconfigurations.
- Complete Infrastructure Visibility - Recognize the pods that have been installed on different nodes, even in the past. Examine which services and pods are in communication with the Internet, non-Kubernetes infrastructure, and other clusters. Identify top talkers quickly. Determine whether Kubernetes clusters are transmitting traffic to nations under embargo or to prohibited outside locations.
Visibility into Cloud-Deployed Kubernetes Clusters
With the addition of telemetry from a small eBPF agent, Kentik Kube gathers information from Kubernetes pods, clusters, and services to provide unmatched depth and breadth of network observability. When used in conjunction with Kentik's sophisticated analytics engine, this dataset would enable teams working on platforms and infrastructure to move more quickly, resolve issues more quickly, and provide important information on the functionality and health of their whole network.
According to Louis Bolanos, Staff Cloud Network Engineer at Box, "Visibility into cloud-deployed Kubernetes clusters in Kentik is super clear and makes troubleshooting so much easier."
As a cloud, network, and infrastructure observability solution, Kentik’s platform is intended for network front-line workers, including those in corporate IT, digital business, and service provision. Relying on their “infinite granularity, AI-driven insights, and fast search,” network experts use Kentik to design, manage, and troubleshoot any network.
