With data sets reaching record scale, it is more important than ever for network operators to understand how data gravity is impacting their bottom line and other critical factors. Learn how network observability is essential for managing data gravity.

Kubernetes is a game-changer for enterprise organizations. But as with all tech, it has its limits. In this article, we’ll look at how Kubernetes approaches networking, the gaps in networking that come with Kubernetes out of the box, and how service meshes address those gaps.

Kubernetes is a powerful platform for large-scale distributed systems, but out of the box, it doesn’t address all the needs of complex enterprise systems deployed across multiple clouds and private data centers. Service meshes fill that gap by connecting multiple clusters into a cohesive mesh.

Getting the most out of cloud networks requires new tools and strategies, captured in the idea of network observability. Read the final entry in our series on managing the hidden costs of cloud networking.

Companies considering cloud adoption should ensure that they take these valuable lessons into account to avoid hidden cloud costs.

Cloud architectures and their managed infrastructures keep personnel and networking costs down while promoting high-velocity software development, but there are hidden costs. Read the first post in our series on managing the hidden costs of cloud networking.

AWS announced support for VPC Traffic Mirroring to additional AWS instance types. The Kentik Network Observability Cloud provides visibility and insights into AWS mirrored traffic.

Cloud solutions architect Ted Turner describes how Kentik Synthetics easily uncovers network-related latencies that often cascade into cloud application performance problems — DevOps teams take note.

Cloud Solution Architect Ted Turner describes a process of migrating all of applications to the cloud, and gives key takeaways as to how building your observability platform to understand both the application state as well as underlying infrastructure is key to maintaining uptime for customers.
