Running Kubernetes applications requires visibility into not only the overall performance of clusters but also the health of individual pods, deployments, and other resources that make up your environment. Datadog already integrates with your containerized environments and includes features like the Live Container view and the Container Map, enabling you to easily monitor Kubernetes and container runtime performance in real time and get deep visibility into clusters.

This morning, we announced that we raised $50 million in Series B funding. This additional funding, following our $24 million round last October, will enable us to dramatically accelerate research and development at Grafana Labs.
