Optimizing Kubernetes workloads with AI-powered monitoring

Kubernetes has drastically simplified application deployment. However, managing workloads in Kubernetes is a challenge because of their innate complexity and dynamism. Frequent bottlenecks and unpredictable application behavior can make managing Kubernetes workloads much harder. This has become simpler and lighter after the expansion of AI, which provides a more intelligent approach to managing and optimizing Kubernetes environments.

Introducing Custom Metrics

In 2024, there’s no shortage of tools to help engineering teams track team health, productivity, or efficiency. But the problem with those solutions has been two-fold. First, most only track “output” metrics, with no insight into what’s causing teams to ship slower, or resolve fewer incidents.

Debugging Kubernetes pod pending failures

Every pod has its purpose. During an application deployment, all the workloads in the cluster work cohesively and ensure that the deployment launches—without any hiccups. When a pod is created, it starts its lifetime in a Pending state. A pod is in the Pending state when it is still in the process of being scheduled for deployment. When it is scheduled for deployment and the containers have started, it converts to the Running phase. It only takes a few seconds for the phase transition.
