Instana announced enhanced observability of Kubernetes systems, delivering an APM solution that can monitor and understand orchestrated applications, the orchestration system and the interdependencies between them.
Mirko Novakovic, CEO of Instana, said: “Kubernetes orchestration creates an environment of extreme abstraction between the application and the infrastructure. This is a huge benefit for enabling high speed delivery of new code, but it creates real challenges with understanding performance issues.”
The new Kubernetes monitoring features extend Instana’s AI-powered APM solution to automatically discover, monitor and analyze Kubernetes labels, clusters and pods in addition to the orchestrated application, itself. Not only does this provide unmatched Kubernetes system visibility, it contributes additional information to Instana’s AI-assisted monitoring and troubleshooting algorithms giving users holistic observability and relational understanding between their orchestrators and application performance.
Instana’s APM solution enables IT organizations to deliver services and applications more quickly and efficiently by automating the management of business-critical applications in containerized environments. The company’s solution leverages automation and AI to automatically monitor, visualize and understand application performance for dynamic containerized microservice applications. Continuous discovery and mapping provides real-time infrastructure and application service visualization, even under constant change.
With the new technology, Instana automatically discovers and monitors the full Kubernetes stack, leveraging tagging metadata to inform Instana how to model and monitor the services and applications under management. This announcement essentially extends Instana’s automation, AI and real-time visualization to managed Kubernetes environments.
The new Kubernetes monitoring features are available now.
