Dynamic Service Graph | Tigera - Long

May 4, 2021 By Tigera In Tigera

Downtime is expensive and applications are a challenge to troubleshoot across a dynamic, distributed environment consisting of Kubernetes clusters. While development teams and service owners typically understand the microservices they are deploying, it’s often difficult to get a complete, shared view of dependencies and how all the services are communicating with each other across a cluster. Limited observability makes it extremely difficult to troubleshoot end-to-end connectivity issues which can impact application deployment.

Application Layer Observability | Tigera - Long

May 4, 2021 By Tigera In Tigera

The majority of operational problems inherent to deploying microservices in a distributed architecture are linked to two areas: networking and observability. At the application layer (Layer 7), the need to understand all aspects associated with service-to-service communication within the cluster becomes paramount. Service-to-service network traffic at this layer is often using HTTP. DevOps teams struggle with these questions: Where is monitoring needed? How can I understand the impact of issues and effectively troubleshoot? And how can I effectively protect application-layer data?

6 Steps to Getting Started With Observability

Apr 29, 2021 By Shelby Spees In Honeycomb

Often it’s from folks on teams who are already practicing continuous delivery (or trying to get there) and are interested in more advanced practices like progressive delivery. They know observability can help—but as individual contributors—they don’t sign the checks, so they feel powerless to help get their team started with observability.
