Everything you need to know about Kubernetes pod networking on AWS
When you are first starting out with Kubernetes running in Amazon cloud, pod networking is probably not the first thing you think about. Nevertheless, at some point you are going to be 100% dependent on whatever networking you choose.

Not surprisingly, when asked, engineers list monitoring as one of the main obstacles for adopting Kubernetes. After all, monitoring distributed environments has never been easy and Kubernetes adds additional complexity.
How to Collect Kubernetes Data
Now that we understand what machine data is available to us, how do we get to this data? The good news is that Kubernetes makes most of this data readily available, you just need the right tool to gather and view it. The solution we will discuss here heavily utilizes open source tools for collection and data enrichment because of their deep integrations and overwhelming community support.
