Kubernetes Networking
Reveal K8s traffic routes through your data center, cloud, and the internet
In mere minutes, cloud and infrastructure teams can detect and solve network problems, and surface traffic flows from pods to external services.
Use case details
Improve network performance
Discover which services and pods are experiencing network latency and see which applications are affected. Identify service misconfigurations or policy violations without capturing packets. Proactively configure alert policies to find latency problems that impact nodes, pods, workloads or services.
Gain end-to-end K8s visibility
Identify all clients and requesters consuming your Kubernetes services. Know exactly who was talking to which pod, and when. Monitor the flow of traffic between your pods and your on-prem network or the internet.
Policy validation and security
Identify all clients and requesters consuming your Kubernetes services. See which pods, namespaces, and services are speaking with each other to ensure the configured policy is working as expected. Identify pods and services that are breaking policy by communicating with non-Kubernetes infrastructure or the internet.
Unify Kubernetes and enterprise data centers
Infrastructure engineers get a consistent model to support performance monitoring, troubleshooting and policy validation. Cloud, container, on-prem and internet networking are seamlessly integrated in a single solution. Kentik Kube is the industry’s first solution that unifies the network performance of on-prem and cloud Kubernetes environments.
Troubleshoot performance problems
Get clear visual indicators of connectivity health within and between pods and the rest of your network. Identify the timing and location of problems easily to pinpoint the source of the problem to be solved.
List top users for Kubernetes services
List out the top traffic producers by object name or application. Get a good picture of the network interaction within your microservices framework. Identify applications that may be overloading the system, creating delays or knocking deployments out of balance.
Deploy easily — no performance hit
Deploy Kubernetes network observability using a lightweight eBPF agent that is installed onto your Kubernetes cluster. The agent sends data back to the Kentik SaaS platform, allowing you to query, graph and alert on conditions in your data. Kentik’s solution works alongside any other networking daemonset that you use.
See your container networks in context
See your network’s big picture and put your Kubernetes clusters in context with the rest of your data centers, multi or hybrid clouds and the internet. Kentik gives you the big picture and shows you how everything relates. See how traffic flows at the macro level and report important health conditions up to the highest level for complete visibility.
