Troubleshooting Kubernetes Network Performance Issues with Kentik Kube

Discover the power of Kentik Kube, the solution for unparalleled network insight into Kubernetes workloads. In this video, Phil Gervasi walks us through Kentik Kube’s ability to track and visualize container traffic across data centers, public clouds, and the internet. Using the interactive Kube map, Phil demonstrates how to troubleshoot a network latency issue affecting an online shopping application, highlighting the tool's capacity for in-depth analysis of pod performance and node-to-node traffic. Learn how to create custom dashboards for custom oversight, set up proactive alerts for performance issues, and enforce security and compliance across your Kubernetes infrastructure.

The Role of Generative AI and Large Language Models in IT Operations

Artificial intelligence, particularly generative AI and large language models have changed how we approach IT operations, cybersecurity, and observability. And though we can point to measurable benefits and outcomes from applying LLMs to ITOps, there is also a lot of speculation to deal with. Phillip Gervasi, Director of Technical Evangelism at Kentik, and Christoph Pfister, Chief Product Officer at Kentik, discuss what generative AI and LLMs are, how they can be used to improve IT operations, and what the future might hold.

Fighting DDoS at the Source

For decades, the scourge of distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks has plagued the internet. Join Doug Madory, Director of Internet Analysis at Kentik, and Aaron Weintraub, Principal Engineer at Cogent Communications, as they explain how organizations can identify customer networks sending the spoofed traffic that leads to DDoS attacks.

A Brief History of BGP Incidents

Kentik internet analysis expert, Doug Madory, discusses the most notable and significant BGP incidents in the history of the internet, from traffic-disrupting leaks to recent crypto-stealing hijacks. Stretching back to the AS7007 leak of 1997, this webinar uses a historical perspective to explore the questions: what progress has been made and what is the path to finally securing BGP?

State of the Internet: Monitoring SaaS Application Performance

Kentik's State of the Internet Overview: With the increasing reliance on SaaS applications in organizations and homes, monitoring connectivity and connection quality is crucial. However, gaining insights into third-party networks like Google's DNS, Microsoft 365, or Zoom is challenging. Kentik's "State of the Internet" offers a solution. Part of Kentik's network observability platform, it deploys hundreds of test agents globally to monitor popular SaaS providers, major public clouds, and DNS services.

How AI is Changing Modern Networking

Artificial intelligence has changed the landscape of technology, especially as we collect and analyze vast amounts of data. As AI workloads are distributed among compute nodes and across data centers, what problems are posed for traditional networking, and what solutions can we discover? This live discussion between Justin Ryburn, Field CTO at Kentik, and Phillip Gervasi, Director of Technical Evangelism at Kentik, dives deep into the current state of data center networking in the age of AI.

Network Observability Across the Enterprise

Justin Ryburn describes the complexities of managing a modern enterprise network and the various areas where Kentik can provide observability. Having all of this information in a single platform that is easy to access and highly scalable provides a lot of value to Kentik customers. Justin wraps up with a discussion of Kentik’s roadmap for the future.

Container Network Observability

Justin Ryburn describes the complexities of managing the network in a modern Kubernetes deployment and how Kentik can provide observability. Leveraging eBPF technology allows network engineers the ability to visualize and make sense of the network traffic within the Kubernetes cluster, as well as traffic entering and leaving the cluster. Justin wraps up with a brief demo of Kentik’s beta Kentik Kube functionality.

Data-driven Network Observability
