The Future of Kubernetes Observability

The Kubernetes ecosystem is undergoing a significant transformation, and the trends emerging at KubeCon highlight just how dynamic this space has become. Traditional Application Performance Monitoring (APM) providers are rapidly shifting focus to Kubernetes Performance Monitoring (KPM), reflecting the growing need for specialized observability in increasingly complex environments.

Now in private beta: Gremlin Service Mesh Extension

Service meshes like Istio have become an essential way to securely and reliably distribute network traffic, especially with ephemeral, service-based architectures such as Kubernetes. However, their constantly shifting nature can interfere with targeting specific services for resilience tests. Infrastructure-based testing is designed to target specific IP addresses, allowing precision testing of applications, VMs, and nodes.

Release Roundup November 2024: Reliability in the serverless and AI era

2024 is coming to a close, and while many teams are slowing down in preparation for the holidays, we’ve been cooking up tons of new features. We’ve extended our platform support to the Istio service mesh, added a brand new experiment type for testing artificial intelligence (AI) and large language model (LLM) workloads, and made it easier to onboard Kubernetes clusters. We’ve also made our Linux and Windows agents more robust and performant.

Optimize and troubleshoot cloud storage at scale with Storage Monitoring

Organizations today rely on cloud object storage to power diverse workloads, from data analytics and machine learning pipelines to content delivery platforms. But as data volumes explode and storage patterns become more complex, teams often struggle to understand and proactively optimize their storage utilization. When issues arise—such as unexpected costs or performance bottlenecks—these teams frequently lack the visibility needed to quickly identify and resolve root causes.

Understanding the Differences Between Flow Logs on AWS and Azure

AWS VPC flow Logs and Azure NSG flow Logs offer network traffic visibility with different scopes and formats, but both are essential for multi-cloud network management and security. Unified network observability solutions analyze both in one place to provide comprehensive insights across clouds.

What Do Most Corporations Do With Returned Computers?

When computers are returned to a corporation, they don’t simply disappear into storage or landfills. Companies often implement structured processes to make the most of these devices while adhering to regulatory and ethical standards. Managing returned computers is a practical and pressing concern for corporations, whether dealing with employee's offboarding, end-of-life hardware, or upgrades. The process involves multiple considerations, from data security to environmental compliance.
